Synopsis:
Catwoman flees her apartment as thugs break into her apartment and destroy it with an explosion. Selina visits Lola MacIntire, a former show girl, who also acts as her fence and intelligence contact. Lola offers her a lead on a new job. Despite her own involvement with illegal activities, Lola is concerned for Selina's mental health.
Posing as the bartender at party being thrown by the Russian Ivgene Clan, Selina listens in for any leads on a potential job. She hears about a painting which has been in the clan for years. The painting is not of significant monetary value, but the leader of the clan places a very high sentimental value upon it.
Selina catches a glimpse of a man called Renald; a man whom she obviously fears. Thinking back, she remembers watching Renald as he abused and murdered a girl right before her eyes. Renald is supposed to be in prison now.
She undoes her blouse, in order to capture his attention, and follows him into the bathroom. She seduces him into getting close to her, and then suddenly lashes out with her sharpened fingernails, scratching his face deeply, and slamming his head into the counter. Unfortunately, this detour has given the real bartender enough time to recover from her chloroform dose, and Selina decides to simply become Catwoman, and make her presence known.
After scaping the party, Selina returns to the penthouse suite at Gotham's Hotel Belle Monico. She is surprised to find Batman hiding in the shadows. She leaps into his arms and kisses him. They partly undress each other, making love. This is not the first time, and usually, most of the costumes stay on.
