'ring' is the definition.
(tintinnabulating is a kind of ringing)

'comic book hero to catch second of outlaws behind' is the wordplay.
'comic book hero' becomes 'tintin' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to catch' becomes 'nab' (nab can mean to capture or arrest).
'second of outlaws' becomes 'u' (ind letter of 'outlaws').
'behind' becomes 'late' (as in behind schedule).
'tintin'+'nab'+'u'+'late'='TINTINNABULATE'
