Synopsis for Batman: "The Jungle Cat Queen!"
Catwoman steals a shipment of diamonds from a flying plane and after it lands, she escapes on her own Catplane. The police warn Batman and Robin about the latest Catwoman crime and they follow her on the Batplane towards a tropical island. Catwoman manages to damage and down the Batplane, forcing Batman to land on the island, where the Dynamic Duo are ambushed by Catwoman's henchmen.
Catwoman and his gang take away Batman and Robin's weapons and give them head start to be hunted by Catwoman and her pet jungle cats. The heroes try to take down the gang, but without their equipment, and they are easily overwhelmed by the criminals and Catwoman's wild felines. The thugs decide to eliminate Batman over a high jungle waterfall. To ensure all evidence of his murder is destroyed, they give him his bat-suit and utility belt back, which allows Batman and Robin to avoid a certain death and round up the criminals. However, Catwoman is able to escape thanks to her wild cats and Batman and Robin vow to capture her the next time.

Notes
- Batman: "The Jungle Cat Queen!" is reprinted in Batman #198, The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told and Batman: A Celebration of 75 Years.
- Because the history of the Catwoman of Earth-Two given in Superman Family #211 makes it clear that she never returned to crime after she reformed in Batman #62, then "The Jungle Cat Queen!" must be an early Earth-One story featuring the Eath-One versions of Catwoman, Batman, etc.
- This would be Catwoman's final appearance for many years due to the strict rules of the Comics Code Authority. She will be replaced as Batman's love interest by Batwoman, a law-abiding female vigilante. Eventually, Catwoman will be allowed to return in Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #70, released in 1966.
- Mysto: "The Forbidden Trick!" is reprinted in Detective Comics #415.
