Robin deactivates the hot-air balloon's altimeter with a piece of chewing gum (dropped in the basket by one of Puzzler's men), a scant second just before it manages to reach 20,000 feet. Utilizing a heretofore unsuspected talent at birdcalling, The Boy Wonder then attracts an elusive and highflying (and rather hostile by nature!) giant red-eyed hermit nuthatch bird migrating south for the winter, infuriating him enough to peck a hole in the balloon, allowing it to descend safely to earth, well upstate of Gotham City but, luckily, next to an emergency public telephone booth. The Dynamic Duo return to The Puzzler's factory, where Puzzler deluges them in baloon long enough for himself and his cronies to scram. Puzzler continues his quest to seize Knab's supersonic plane, the Retsoor, sending his sexy moll Rocket to drug Knab's tea while Puzzler himself photographs the secret plans for the hi-tech jet. The Caped Crusader is alerted to The Puzzler's new target by way of a rooster sent to Go
