Paula Grant, age 6, looked out the taxicab window. She was very excited. All around her were the skyscrapers of Gotham City. Gotham was even bigger than she had imagined back at home in Orlando, FL, with Mathew, Sara and Anne.
Paula still couldn't believe she had won the radio contest. The prize was a free trip to the Toy Tower, the world's biggest toy store! It was closing for the night and Paula was going to have the whole store to play in.

As Paula was getting out of the cab, she noticed a delivery van speeding away from the store. The side of the van had the words "Felini Movers" written on it.
Paula caught a glimpse of the driver as the van passed. The driver was wearing a dark mask with pointy ears.
"That's weird," Paula thought. Maybe the driver was going to a costume party after work. Paula shrugged. Gotham City was a strange place.

Paula wanted to play with the world-famous KAT-2000, a cat-shaped robot made just for kids. it could play games, help with chores, even make milkshakes. Toy Tower had the only one in the whole world!
But when Paula went inside, she learned the KAT-2000 had been stolen. The police were looking for clues. But the thief had left no trace.

The store manager sighed. "We may never get the KAT-2000 back," she said.
"Don't be so sure of that," said a deep voice. Everyone turned to look.
Paula couldn't believe it. Batman was here!

Just then, Paula remembered something important. She told Batman about the strange van she had seen.
"The driver was wearing a dark mast with point ears?" asked Batman. "Hmmm..."
"There's something else," Paula said. "I heard on TV that the KAT-2000 runs on a special kind of battery. Won't the thief need a supply of those?"
"Yes." Batman looked at Paula. "Could you identify that van if you saw it again?"
Paula nodded.
Batman smiled. "Would you like to take a ride?"

Paula followed Batman to the Batmobile. She could hardly believe this was happening.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"To the Supervolt Battery Factory." Batman said. "That's where the KAT-2000's battery pack is made. I have a feeling you're right--the thief will have to stock up on the special batteries, or the robot will be useless.
The Batmobile zoomed through the streets of Gotham City. In no time at all Batman and Paula reached the factory.

"There it is!" Paula cried. The "Felini Movers" delivery van was parked outside the factory. A dark figure was loading crates into the van.
In the glow of a streetlight Paula saw the pointy ears of a mask.
"That's the driver I saw," she told Batman.
"Just as I suspected," Batman said. "It's Catwoman." He pointed to something shiny in the back of the van. "And there's the KAT-2000."
"Catwoman, it's all over," Batman announced as he leapt from the Batmobile.
"That's what you think," Catwoman replied. She grabbed the KAT-2000 and ran. Batman threw his Batarang, winding a rope between her legs.
"Look out!" Paula yelled. "The KAT-2000 is going to fall."

Paula jumped out of the Batmobile and caught the KAT-2000 just before it hit the ground. The robot was safe.
"Nice work, Paula," said Batman.
"Drat! cried Catwoman. "I really wanted that robot. It's purr-fect for me."
"I get it," Paula said. "You're a KAT burglar!"

Back hone in Orlando, FL, Paula told Mathew, Sara and Anne all about her exciting adventure. The police had arrived and arrested Catwoman. Batman slipped away into the shadows.
The manager of Toy Tower was thrilled to get the KAT-2000 back. Paula finally got her tour of the toy store--with the amazing robot as her guide. And best of all, Paula got a postcard in the mail.
"Dear Paula," it said. "Thanks for your help solving the KAT-2000 crime. I couldn't have done it without you. Batman."
