The Penguin opens a new restaurant in town, but queerly asks guests to hand-write their orders and sign them, then he does everything possible to get himself arrested. Batman finally figures out that, once inside the jail, the Penguin can use homing pigeons to ferret out dozens of forged checks using the signatures he got in his restaurant!
