She opens a beauty salon and invites eight women who have just been released from the Women’s House of Detention to take courses in the salon. Batman deduces that Catwoman’s target is the Petala Pearl, worn by Nizam visiting Gotham. Bruce Wayne decides to invite Nizam in his mansion in order to protect him. Catwoman and the eight woman disguised in catwoman costumes manage to trap Robin and the police protecting the outside of the house. Catwoman steals the Pearl worn by Nizam while he sleeps, only to discover it is a fake made by Batman, and that the sleeper is Alfred. Batman captures Catwoman.
