In the study, Alfred takes a phone call from Commissioner Gordon asking Batman to watch over the shipment of priceless fossils, owned by Franco Bollo, which is being transported on board the Gotham Express. Dick is resigned to the fact he will have to call off his date with Bonnie, but Bruce assures him he can handle it himself. Bruce Wayne is the chairman of the museum's board and will not arouse suspicion by accompanying the exhibit.
Bruce is aboard the train and is chatting to the explorer Franco Bollo when Britt Reid, publisher of the Daily Sentinel, and his valet, Kato enter the VIP car. Bruce and Britt decide to go to the refreshment car and discuss the exhibit. Britt comments that he would have expected to see Batman accompanying the exhibit on its journey especially as Britt has heard that criminal gangs from Sentinel are interested in the fossils.
Suddenly the train grinds to a halt an yet Bruce notices that the breaks are not being applied. Bruce and Britt decide to investigate what his happening and they go to see the engineer. They discover that the train is at full power but yet is not moving so they leave the train, discovering that the tracks are covered in glue and cannot move. Britt and Bruce make excuses to split up. Bruce uses the "Two-Way Bat-cufflink Radios" to call Dick, who is in the diner with Bonnie and tells him to use the Bat-Copter to get to the train. Bruce enters the cargo car only to be greeted by Colonel Gumm. Whilst Bruce and Colonel Gumm are arguing over the fossils, The Green Hornet enters with Kato. The Green Hornet is upset that Colonel Gumm is trying to steal the fossils right under his nose. Colonel Gumm's henchmen and the Green Hornet start to fight just as Robin arrives in the batcopter with Batman's equipment. Colonel gum's henchmen have overpowered the Green Hornet and Kato , so the Colonel decides to retreat in "victory" only to be met by Batman and Robin on top of the train.
Colonel Gumm turns to run, only to be stopped by the Green Hornet. Colonel Gumm tells the story of how he ended up with his white face. Just after his release from Gotham Penitentiary, he attempted to make the world's most powerful adhesive. unfortunately his concoction was too volatile causing it to explode and stick permanently to his face, turning him from Colonel Gumm to General Gumm. General Gumm pulls out a glue gun and shoots Batman, Robin, Green Hornet and Kato's feet, sticking them to the top of the train.
The General then steals the fossils and unsticks the train causing it to move towards the tunnel with all four of them stuck to the top.
Has the prince of paste doomed the dynamic duo? Will the master of mucilage squash the Green Hornet and Kato like bugs?
"The Heroes Fight Back"[]
Batman, Robin, The Green Hornet, and Kato are stuck to the top of a train hurtling towards a tunnel. Whilst all the other struggle to free themselves, Batman has an idea. He uses the "Batcopter Remote Control Bat-Unit" to bring the Batcopter, which has a ladder hanging from it, closer to the train. Batman and Robin grab the ladder and The Green Hornet uses his "Hornet Sting" to blow up the roof they are standing on, which releases their feet. Batman and Robin decide to interrogate The Green Hornet and Kato to find out what they know about the train robbery. Batman is informing The Green Hornet that he's taking him and Kato to the police station, when he is gassed by the Green Hornet. Kato wonders if they should have admitted that they wanted to stop the robbery but Green Hornet says that it as they are seen as criminals Batman and Robin would not have believed them anyway. Miss Case, Green Hornets accomplice, arrives in the car to take them back to Sentinel.
General Gumm and his henchmen are admiring their stolen fossils in an abandoned warehouse when suddenly The Joker arrives. It turns out the General Gumm stole the fossils to prove to the Joker that he would be worthy of working with the Crown Prince of Crime. General Gumm takes great pleasure in telling The Joker that not only has he stolen the fossils but he has also disposed of Batman, Robin, Green Hornet and Kato. The Joker congratulates General Gumm by shocking him with his hand buzzer and then they start to discuss business.
In the meantime Batman and Robin wake up after being gassed by The Green Hornet. They use the Batcopter to follow the tracks left by both General Gumm and The Green Hornet. In the Green Hornets office they are reveling in escaping from Batman when D.A Scanlon arrives to discuss progress on solving the train robbery. D.A Scanlon informs them that the city will be sued by Franco Bollo, the owner of the fossil, if they do not find them soon. The Green Hornet remembers that General Gumm is obsessed by stamps and they plan to use that information to track him down.
Batman and Robin arrive at Trendle Park in Sentinel and use the "Mobile Batcopter spectrographic Bat-Analyzer" to track down General Gumm using chemical analysis from his unique glue. Meanwhile The Green Hornet uses his Aerial Recon Scanner to find pink vehicles in the area. Both discover that General Gumm is hiding in the postal depot on Dozier Boulevard. Batman and Robin and Green Hornet and Kato arrive on the scene and fight General Gumm and Joker's henchmen. Batman and Green Hornet prepare to fight when the Joker interrupts telling them that Kato and Robin have had glue placed over their mouths and are about to suffocate.
