Scientist J.B. (Richard Banks) has invented a device called hearing
aide that enables whoever uses it to listen in on whatever telephone
conversation he wants - but the US patent office refuses to certify it and
orders all blueprints to be destroyed - much to the dismay of J.B. Masked
villain Rat Fink has learned about the hearing aide though and wants to
steal it, so J.B. hires superheroine Batwoman (Katherine Victor) and her
army of Batgirls to guard the thing until destruction - but Rat Fink's men
just drug Batwoman and all of her girls with a happiness drug developed by
Rat Fink's scientist in residence Neon (George Andre), and then not only
steals the device but also kidnaps all of the Batgirls - but that was of
course what Batwoman was hoping for, because each of her Batgirls was
wearing a tracer through which they can easily be tracked down to
Rat Fink's underground caves. The girls are easily freed, but when
Batwoman wants to unmask Rat Fink, he shows that he still has a trick up
his sleeve, a multiplyer that produces enough doubles of himself to
withstand the onslaught of the Batgirls. Eventually, the multiplyer is
destroyed though and all the doubles are gone, and after this, Rat Fink is
defeated, and once unmasked, he proves to be J.B. himself, who has stolen
his own invention just so it will not be destroyed. But once that is
revealed, it turns out that professor Neon's hunchbacked assistant (Lloyd
Nelson) has poured acid on the device, which turns it into an all powerful
bomb - and after the bomb goes up, everybody finds himself on the beach
for some reason ... One of these ridiculously bad movies that
just makes one happy that bad movies are around in the first place,
because this one has got it all, overused pulp clichés aplenty including
the masked villain, a superheroine costume that looks like straight out of
burlesque (and probably was), lab sets that are as unconvincing as they
are cheap, a few snippets from another film (1956's The Mole People
by Virgil W.Vogel) that make no sense in the context of this one, and a
bunch of girls who seem to have no other function than to look good in
brief outfits. Who cares then that the plot of the film is silly and badly
conceived, hardly anybody in the cast can act, and the whole thing is
childish as hell - it's just one of this great bad films that has you
watch in disbelief but also has a hypnotic power to it that makes you keep
watching no matter what.
