JUNGLE CAT Catwoman infiltrates the South American nation of Ochoguay in search of a village called Esperanza that could provide her with leverage over Galiant's agency, allowing her to cut her ties with it once and for all. After a rocky landing in Ochoguay's jungles, Catwoman saves a young trucker from Marxist guerrillas, and pays him to take her to the village, which turns out to be a refuge for fugitive Nazis - most of whom are old and infirm.� Shortly after Catwoman's arrival, the village is stormed by the vengeful guerrillas (one of whom had overheard Catwoman's destination before getting beaten unconscious). A shootout between the aged Nazis and the guerrillas ensues; in the confusion, Catwoman spirits away the man she'd been searching for: a Nazi named Peter Klosc. Some of the guerrillas try to give chase, but are run over by the trucker, who had returned out of gratitude to Catwoman.�� With herself and her target both safe, Catwoman reveals Klosc's importance: he was the Romanian war criminal that Galiant's agency had attempted to clear with the Boccatoria gambit. Catwoman records a personal confession from Klosc and sends a copy to Galiant's agency with an ultimatum: her time with them is to be cleared, without any repercussions, or she will send copies of the confession to whistleblowers around the world and publicly disgrace the U.S. government.�� Left with no better alternatives, Galiant's agency reluctantly disassociates with Catwoman and resets her criminal record. A gleeful Catwoman returns to Gotham, vowing that from now on, no authority - not even the Batman - will be able to catch her.
