Storyline
The Penguin has been released from prison. Incidents occur involving umbrellas, the Penguin's trademark, but no crimes are committed. Batman and Robin investigate. At one point, the Penguin launches a giant umbrella with a regular-sized umbrella attached. In reality, the Penguin hasn't figured out a crime to commit yet. He's providing Batman with various "clues," hoping Batman's keen mind will, in effect, devise a caper. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne visits the Penguin's umbrella shop to plant a listening device. He is discovered and knocked out. Bruce is placed on a conveyor belt leading to a furnace. Written by Bill Koenig

Edit
This episode features not only the first appearance of Burgess Meredith's unforgettable Penguin, but maybe the tightest script the show ever got.
In brief, the Penguin has announced he's gone straight (a trick he often pulled in both the comics and the show) and opens up an umbrella shop. In reality, he's scheming to get back into crime by having Batman plan his heists for him! How the Penguin does this, and how Batman ultimately foils him, make this one Batman episode that is more than just a series of fights in-between jokes. It has a beginning, a middle and an end, and they're all good.
It also doesn't hurt that it features Leslie Parrish, one of the most gorgeous female guest stars ever.
