(male narrator) Superman.
Wonder Woman.
Batman and Robin.
Aquaman.
Black Vulcan.
Samurai.
Apache Chief.
Together they form the world's greatest force of good
ever assembled.
Dedicated to truth, peace
and justice for all mankind.
These are the "SuperFriends."
We now continue with the "SuperFriends."
Coming up..
Green Lantern and Superman must shut the reign of terror
caused by three Martians in "One Small Step For Mars."
Next, the Wonder Twins face a mysterious army of bugs
in "Haunted House."
Then, a monstrous menace confronts Hawkman in
"The Incredible Crude Oil Monster"
next on the "SuperFriends Hour."
Unknown to the citizens of Metropolis
a terrifying, natural disaster is about to strike.
It's an earthquake!
boom
[static]
(Superman) We've only got a few seconds to save the city from destruction.
Right, Superman. I'll handle the south side.
The north end is all yours.
We're gonna crash!
[zapping]
rumble
It's Superman. He saved us!
There! Good as new!
Now, to give mother nature a super hug
and see if I can calm her down.
Well done, Superman.
I think we owe ourselves a rest after that rescue.
[beeping]
Looks like you spoke too soon, Green Lantern.
It's the Justice League emergency alert.
(Batman on speaker) 'Batman to Superman.'
'We just received word from the galactic prison'
'on the surface of Mars.'
Seems three alien space criminals hijacked a NASA probe
and are headed back to Earth.
But before the SuperFriends arrive
at the splashdown site..
I've spotted the Mars probe. She's coming in right on time.
splash
The Mars probe is in perfect shape.
I'll get the soil samples from the storage container.
[growling]
The-the-they are aliens!
Identify yourself or we'll have to take you prisoner.
It is you who would be our prisoner.
[growling]
He he he.
If all earthlings are as weak as you
this planet will soon belong to us.
(Superman) Not if we have anything to say about it!
You can say whatever you like, but it will be your last words.
- What did he say? - I don't know.
- But it sounded like an insult. - That's what I thought!
Maybe this time you'll be more polite.
Help! He's eating the ship!
[growling]
Man the pumps!
Excuse me, but you really ought to cut out
those between-meals snacks.
T-that strange eye, it's affecting...my mind.
Green Lantern's in trouble.
Those antique flying machines
will allow us to travel freely in this alien world.
[speaking in foreign language]
Whew! Thanks, Superman.
That cosmic cyclops must have hypnotized me.
Green Lantern, look! They're gone. Come on.
'We've gotta track them before they cause any more trouble.'
That city below should make a satisfactory hideout.
'We'll land the jets on that highway.'
[swooshing]
Hey, who are you? What do you want?
Don't worry, old man. We just want your city!
[growling]
Not a trace of them, Superman. Maybe we should..
Just a minute! I think I see them.
'I think I've spotted them.'
(Green Lantern) 'They're taking over that town.'
'There's no telling what they may do'
'to those people if we try to stop them.'
Don't worry, Green Lantern.
I've got an idea that should take care of everything.
You just lead those galactic gangsters to Cape Canaveral
and I'll do the rest.
(Green Lantern) Will do, Superman.
[speaking in foreign language]
Yes, Jaboo.
Those earth beings are the strangest looking creatures
I've ever seen.
Perhaps I can learn more about them
with my psychic mind probe.
I hate to butt in, fellas!
But unless I'm mistaken, you're trespassing on this planet.
It's the green one again. Destroy him!
[zapping]
Just my luck!
That creature's got yellow laser eyes.
The only color I'm defenseless against.
Meanwhile, as Superman arrives
at nearby Cape Canaveral..
Superman, what are you doing here?
There isn't time for questions.
I've got to have your latest, fastest rocket.
Sorry, Superman, but we just fired our only rocket to Mars.
It'll take months to build another.
In that case, I've got no choice but to build it myself.
I've got to act fast before that laser cuts me in two.
The earthling toys with us, but not for long!
[laughing]
I think they're mad now. Let's hope they follow me.
He's getting away. After him!
[grunting]
The fool!
He may have escaped, but he's led us to just what we need.
Brace yourselves. We're ready for the take off.
We're free at last.
Now, to head back to the Glob galaxy
and destroy the worm who put us in prison.
[speaking in foreign language]
What do you mean the controls are jammed?
- That's impossible! - 'Forget it, Oho.'
Looks like you three fell right into our little trap.
This rocket is computer controlled
and it's heading back to Mars, where you came from.
No. Not the prison. You can't do that to us.
Wanna bet?
It'll see to it they do not escape again.
We'd appreciate it.
They may be three small-time crooks to you..
But they've been a giant pain in the neck to the SuperFriends.
[laughing]
[ominous music]
It is early evening and all is quiet in Gotham City.
[thunder rumbling]
What did I tell you, Chuck? This cemetery is creepsville.
Oh, it's not so scary.
Hey, look, guys. It's the old Brimstone Mansion.
[thunder rumbling]
- I heard it's h-h-haunted. - You're so gullible, Mike.
There's no such thing as a haunted house.
Oh, yeah? If you're so brave, I dare you to spend
fifteen minutes in the place.
I don't need to prove anything to you.
W-w-what's the matter, Chuck? You chicken?
I'm no chicken. Come on, Joey. We'll show 'em.
[dramatic music]
Meanwhile, as the SuperFriends patrol the neighborhood..
- All quiet? - So far.
Let's hope it stays that way.
Robin and I are going to check out the waterfront.
Right. We'll continue patrolling the neighborhood
and meet you back here later.
[engine revving]
[thunder rumbling]
creak
[dramatic music]
Are you sure this is safe, Chuck?
Sure, I'm sure.
crash
I think.
[dramatic music]
[screeching]
Oh-wow! Let's get outta here!
[grunting]
- It's stuck! - Oh, no!
Later, by the old cemetery..
Now, this sure beats walking, Jayna.
- I am walking, Zan. - Oh, I forgot.
Hey, look over there.
'I wonder what those kids are doing in the cemetery'
'at this hour.'
(Jayna) 'Hello!'
Wonder Twins, are we glad to see you!
What's the trouble?
Our friends, Chuck and Joey, went into that haunted house
hours ago and they haven't come out.
Don't worry. We'll go in and get them.
We will? Oh, uh..
I mean, oh, sure we will. Uh, come on, Jayna.
[ominous music]
(Zan) 'Uh, I think we better knock.'
knock-knock
Looks like a nice place to visit.
Ha ha. But I wouldn't wanna live here.
[chattering]
Those boys have got to be around here somewhere.
click
Zan? Zan?
He must have chickened out and left.
Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea.
Who are you? Stay away from me.
'Help!'
Whoa!
Oh, no! A hay monster. Stay away from me!
Hold it, Jayna. It's just me.
(Chuck) 'Wonder Twins, over here.'
How did you find us?
Just our usual expert tracking.
Not to mention pure luck.
Hang on, I'll have you out of here in no time.
You're not going anywhere. They sent you, didn't they?
Well, I'm never leaving, and neither are you.
Ha ha ha.
It's old man Holmes, the cemetery caretaker.
He thinks that we're here to get him.
Okay, super sis, let's hope our training pays off.
(both) 'Wonder Twin powers activate!'
Form of a kangaroo.
Shape of a frozen bowling ball.
Let's see if I can get a strike.
[rumbling]
swish swish swish
[chattering]
clang clang
(Zan) Wonder Twin powers deactivate!
Alright, pop.
Jayna Kangaroo is going to give you the old one-two.
Allow me. One, two!
Wonder Twin powers deactivate!
I've got to radio Batman before it's too late.
I'm afraid it is too late. Ah, ha ha ha.
Thank you, my little pet.
And now I have a little treat for you, my friends.
- We're not your friends. - Of course not.
I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to them.
Oh, no. Bugs!
[dramatic music]
It's no use.
We can't activate our Exxor powers without touching.
Thanks to Gleek, we got here just in time.
Batman, Robin, help!
(Holmes) 'You're wasting your time, fools.'
Not even the Dynamic Duo can escape this dungeon.
Get them! Get them!
Holy infestations, Batman! There must be a million of them.
Quick, Robin, the bat pulleys.
plonk plonk
This is the only insect I'm interested in.
You'll never catch me in these catacombs.
The bat freeze will stop him cold.
[zapping]
- Help! - Get away!
(both) Wonder Twin powers activate!
Shape of an elephant.
Form of ice water.
[whooshing]
(Zan) 'Surf's up!'
(Jayna) 'Everybody out!'
(Zan and Jayna) Wonder Twin powers deactivate!
Thanks again, SuperFriends.
Remind me not to take any more dares, Joey.
I'd rather be a chicken than a fool any day.
[moaning]
Zan! It's a ghost!
Give it up, Gleek. You can't scare me so easily.
Ya-ee!
There's nothing there.
[Gleek laughing]
[Jayna laughing]
We now continue with the "SuperFriends."
[ominous music]
[wind howling]
Not far off the frozen Alaska coastline
millions of gallons of crude oil
spill out from a ruptured supertanker.
Hurry, if we don't contain this oil spill
it will destroy half the Alaska coastline.
Don't worry, captain, this experimental device
should have that slick cleaned up in no time.
[beeping]
(captain) 'It's working.'
Oh, no. The device washed overboard.
[intense music]
[roaring]
The oil slick. It's alive!
[roaring]
Great Atlantis!
I've gotta stop that monster
before it sinks that supertanker.
splash
[bubbling]
[roaring continues]
Oh, it's no use. We're doomed.
- Don't give up yet. - Aquaman!
This harpoon net should keep that oily monster in its place.
[roaring]
Aquaman! He-help!
[roaring]
Quick, radio the other SuperFriends.
I'll handle the monster.
splash
Using his Aquatic Telepathy
Aquaman summons a large school of fish
commanding them to surround the crude oil monster.
[roaring]
splash
Oh, no!
That oily beast has chased away the fish with a single blow.
splash
splash
I can't swim with this oily coating.
Ah! Thanks, fellas.
Look! It's Hawkman and Hawkgirl.
We got here as soon as we could, Aquaman.
- What's the trouble? - What's the trouble?
Didn't you see the..
- It's gone. - What's gone?
The oil monster. It took off toward the coast.
The coastguard should be here any minute.
We'll follow the oil monster.
Later, at the Alaskan pipeline..
Well, that does it, Harry.
The pump station's running at full force.
Wh-what on earth is it?
[roaring]
(male #1) 'We're safe in here.'
[roaring]
Great Golden Eagles!
The oil monster's attacking the Alaskan pipeline.
(Aquaman) Drop me off here.
splash
Hey, handsome, don't you think you're overdoing it
with that greasy kid stuff?
[roaring]
Oh, thanks, Hawkman.
This suction pump is just what we need.
Hawkman, Hawkgirl, lead him this way.
[roaring]
It's working.
[roaring]
Oh, no!
The oil monster's broken into the Alaskan pipeline.
He's growing beyond belief.
The oil's fouled my wings. I-I can't fly.
[roaring]
Great Neptune!
If I don't act fast, Hawkman and Hawkgirl will be lost.
I can't see a thing in this black crude oil.
My only chance of finding them is to use my Aquatic Telepathy
like radar.
I'm picking up something just ahead.
Ah! Thanks, Aquaman.
[roaring]
Look, it's moving away.
[roaring]
This bath will clean the oil off you
so you can get after that beast.
Wait a minute. Bath! That's it!
Come on, I think I know how to stop that greasy monster
once and for all.
Later, at a small general store..
This is all the laundry soap I have, SuperFriends.
Good. This detergent dissolves grease and oil.
It may be just what we need to dissolve that oil monster.
I just hope it'll be enough.
Meanwhile, at the nearby harbor..
[roaring]
[people screaming]
The monster's already broken into the first storage tank.
We've got to hurry.
Help! Help!
[roaring]
clang
It's growing enormous.
Any minute and there'll be no chance of stopping it.
Aquaman, see if you can lead the monster
to that empty storage tank. I'll handle the rest.
Hey, greaseball, over here.
[roaring]
Okay, Hawkgirl, now!
[roaring]
Nice work, Hawkman.
For a minute, I didn't think it was gonna work.
Nothing to worry about, Aquaman.
The old soap trick always cleans up the bad guys.
