Batman (1966) Episode 109

 

Episodes 109

The Ogg Couple

Plot:EggHead and Olga are after some expensive caviar

Guest Stars:Vincent Price as Egg Head and Anne Baxter as Olga

Trivia:As noted this was part 2 of the previous Egg Head/Olga episode.

Niitpick:How many times do we have to see the same scene of EggHead going down the street on a horse? I don’t get why by now Batgirl doesn’t trust Batman with her secret identity.

Bat Silliness:I mentioned that Yvonne Craig had been a dancer and she displays that skill here.

Bat Gadget:Bat Geiger Counter

Bat Trap:None but Batgrl does some fancy footwork to stave off the Cossacks.

Final Thoughts:As I surmised, this is the Olga part of the three parter. It resolves the plot thread of EggHead trying to marry her which was brought up in Part 1 but vanished in Part 3. Egg Head and Olga steal caviar, they got stopped. Batgirl gets the lead on Batman, again. Gets trapped, again. Batman and Robin rescue her and the trio beat the villains. Again. It’s getting a lot harder to find things to note in these shows. That’s about it. Maybe the story would have worked better as part of a larger story rather than a solo outing. The ending was clearly setting up part 3 as our villains just run off, necessitating a new tag where their defeat is off screen. Swell.

Grade:C-
