Cat-Man
(AU)


    In the lonely regions lost in the bush-land lies the secret lair of the feared Cat-Man. A man and a boy, garbed in strange green costumes, appear among the criminal haunts of the world, carrying out their promise to seek out and destroy crime, stamping the mark of fear on the hearts of all who live outside the law. In his mountain hideout, which is in the shape of a cat’s head, the Cat-Man and his protégé Kit, the Cat Boy, wage relentless battles against the villains and tyrants of the world. Their identities unknown, Cat-Man and Kit keep in radio contact via an undisclosed high-frequency short-wave radio transmitter. Whenever contacted, the Cat-Man utilizes his super-jet plane, the Cat Jet, to speed him and Kit wherever they are needed. Typically, they are informed of trouble by Cat-Man's fiancée Terry West, who is employed by the United Nations Press, and by Terry's scientist father, Prof. West. The Cat-Man employs all sorts of devices in his quest for justice, including his ever-ready Luger pistol. Cat-Man and Kit both have utility belts where they keep an array of weaponry and assorted tools to perform their missions. Both have night visors for seeing in the dark. These visors also project beams of light forward if needed. Both are in top physical shape. This Australian Cat-Man has no relation to the two heroic American Cat-Men or the evil American villain Cat-Man.
