"The Riddler's False Notion" begins with Batman coming to the rescue of Robin, about to be sawed in half, only to learn it's a dummy, the real Robin stashed away elsewhere. He does manage to capture Pauline (Sherry Jackson), and interrogates her in the Batcave, affording Commissioner Gordon his first ever visit to the 'magnificent' place. The Riddler (Frank Gorshin) continues to leave conundrums to reveal his plot piece by piece, Batman's deduction that he wants to rob a train inexact. In fact, by completing his silent film for collector Van Jones (Francis X. Bushman), the Prince of Puzzlers merely wants to steal his collection of rare titles and hold them for a handsome ransom. Former silent screen star Bushman, a career dating all the way back to 1911, completed only one further role before his death at age 83 only four months after this broadcast. World famous impressionist Frank Gorshin truly has a field day with his many guises in this one, making it rather a shame that his next appearance in the feature film would be followed by only one solitary return for the third season (with four two part episodes this first season, he topped all other villains).
