Chosen from among all others by the immortal elders Solomon, Hercules,

Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury, Billy Batson and his mentor travel the

highways and byways of the land on a never-ending mission to right wrongs, to

develop understanding, and to seek justice for all. In time of dire need,

young Billy has been granted the power by the immortals to summon awesome

forces at the utterance of a single word.

A word which transforms him in a flash into the mightiest of mortal beings.

Captain Marvel!

broke my headlight.

Not me. It was a bunch of other guys. What are you talking about?

They were gonna steal your bike, but I scared them off. Hey, come on, man. I

saw you hit it from the window. That light cost me five bucks.

Alan!

You're dirty. You're filthy.

Had a fight with Tim Sullivan and whipped him.

What? You whipped Tim Sullivan? Aw, come on, Alan. How could you beat up Tim

Sullivan? Easy. I know karate. He doesn't. Since when do you know karate?

I've been taking lessons for five years.

I just never told anybody because I didn't want to brag.

Can you smash bricks and stuff like that?

Sure. Bricks, rocks, boards, anything.

Come on.

Oh, Billy, the elders.

Oh, elders, fleet and strong and wise, appear before my seeking eyes.

Billy, we know that you always try to be truthful.

But there are those who avoid the truth to gain attention and hide their

mistakes. Even the smallest of lies, Billy, can grow to disastrous

proportions. As a wise man once said, if a person makes one mistake, then lies to

hide it, he is made two.

Good luck, Billy.

You know, Mentor, I understand what the elders are saying about the truth.

It's who they were talking about that bugs me.

Do you have any idea?

Well, to tell you the truth, Billy... No.

But I'm sure we'll soon find out.

you guys.

See you later, Alan. See you later, Alan.

Hey, that was Tim Sullivan.

Wait till Alan sees him. Let's go watch. Come on.

How can we be so stupid to go into a gas station and forget to get gas?

Well, at least the van is clean.

Oh, but you're...

I don't know.

Come on, let's find out.

Hey, Todd.

What's the problem?

Oh, that big kid was hassling me.

What for?

No good reason. Just he likes to pick on smaller kids.

I guess every neighborhood has a bully, huh, Billy?

Yeah, for sure.

Can we give you a lift somewhere?

No, thanks.

Okay, take it easy. Right.

Are you okay?

What happened? No problem.

That big clown never had a chance.

I just jumped into my karate pose.

Come on. What happened then?

Well, then he came up on my side and I went... Yeah, yeah. Then what?

Well, then I went to grab his ankle, but I didn't want to hurt him, so I let him

go. Good for you.

Billy, we know that you always try to be truthful.

But there are those who avoid the truth to gain attention and hide their

mistakes.

Can I see you for a minute?

Sure.

You know, I didn't want to embarrass you in front of your friends.

But that's not the way it happened.

You're not going to tell them, are you?

No, Alan.

Thanks.

You know, that kind of makes me wonder if you were telling the truth about that

kid being a bully.

Is he?

Sure he is. Ever since Sullivan started work at the zoo, he thinks he's bad.

All he does is hassle me.

You know, Minter, I think Alan was the kind of kid the elders were talking

about.

In other words, we should hang around town for a while?

Right.

You know, I've heard this city has a marvelous zoo.

Zoo?

Oh, the zoo!

Good idea.

I bet you Sullivan doesn't come around here again for a long time.

Yeah, maybe he'll stay at the zoo along with all the other monkeys.

You know, I bet it really must be neat to work in the zoo with all those

animals. Neat? Some of those animals are dangerous.

That's what I mean.

You've got to really be brave to do that.

Oh, big deal. I was at the zoo once, and when nobody was looking, I walked right

through the pen where the rhinos are.

Oh, come on, Alan. You don't expect us to believe that, do you?

It's true, man.

Did anybody else see it?

I was alone.

I think you're handing us a line, Alan.

Yeah, and I'm beginning to wonder about your big karate fight with Tim.

I swear I walked right past those rhinos.

Prove it.

What do you mean? I already did it. So do it again. We don't believe you. Come

on, guys.

Okay, okay.

I'll prove it.

Those baboons.

Baboon? That's Theropithecus gelada.

Well, they look like baboons to me.

Giraffe, camel, or parter's angle inches.

You're a walking almanac.

Excuse me, sir.

We're looking for an employee named Sullivan.

Oh, Tim.

He's working over in the old zoo today.

The old zoo?

Yeah. It's abandoned now, but we sometimes use it as a holding area for

new animals.

Hop in. I'll drive you over.

There they are, Alan.

Do your thing.

Wow. Look at the size of them.

Go on, Alan. Walk through.

I can't go in there with all these people around.

That's okay.

We'll wait till they leave.

the road and stay to the left.

Thanks very much.

Where'd all these people come from?

Oh, I guess we picked a bad day. I'll do it some other time. Hold on, Alan.

We've heard a lot of talk from you. We want some action.

Yeah, but if I go in there with all these people around, we'd all be in

trouble. How about a place where there aren't any people?

Yeah. Where'd we find that?

Let's go look around. Come on.

I almost ran you guys down this morning. I want to apologize. I was trying to

catch someone.

A kid named Alan?

Yeah, how'd you know?

They told us you'd been hassling him.

That's a lie. He knocked my bike over and I'm trying to get him to pay back

for the broken headlight.

He also claims that you're afraid of him.

That's another lie.

Wise men once said, if a person makes one mistake, then lies to hide it. He is

made to.

Hey, mentor.

I think we should have another talk with Alan.

Yeah, that's a good idea, Billy.

I'm just leaving. Can I give you guys a ride anywhere?

Oh, no, no, thank you. Careful, that's a real nasty bird. Oh, sorry. Thank you.

It's a vulture.

Belcher.

See you later.

Looks like a good place.

We'd better not do it here. Yeah.

Okay, come on.

and his friends are here.

Well, that's a coincidence.

May not be a coincidence at all, Mentor.

We better find Alan before he gets himself into something he can't get out

of.

Well?

Maybe the cage has a burglar alarm or something.

Come on, you're lucky it doesn't have a lie detector on it.

Come on. This guy wasn't gonna do anything anyway.

before something happens.

Okay, okay, we believe you. Now get out of there before you get hurt.

What's the matter, scared?

Yeah, okay, get out of there.

I told you this zoo was no big deal.

What in the world?

Hey, Alan!

I better stop that bird before he hurts himself.

Or someone else.

Suzanne!

All right, get out of here, Alan.

If you were up a feather, you'd be fine.

Thanks, Captain Marvel. Look, I'd like to thank you too, Captain Marvel.

It seems like every time I don't tell the truth, something bad happens.

Well, just remember, Alan, if a person makes one mistake and lies about it, he

has made two.

Yeah, I guess my first mistake was lying about hitting your bike.

Tim, I'll have it fixed.

Forget it, Alan.

Just promise not to use any karate on me.

I feel like celebrating.

How about some ice cream?

My treat.

Wow, honest.

Alan, would I lie to you?
