"The Ogg and I/How to Hatch a Dinosaur"

Aired November 2/9, 1967

Vincent Price makes a welcome return to Batman as the villainous Egghead. He is joined by Anne Baxter as Olga, Queen of the Bessarovian Cossacks. Together they have plans for Gotham City. In fact, are there too many plans? What is the main scheme in this plot? Who is in charge as it seems to change from episode to episode? And what is the history of this two-parter in relation to the third episode that will follow in a few weeks' time?

Joining John to talk about Vincent Price's triumphant and yet not so triumphant return to Batman is author and podcaster, Kevin Lauderdale.
