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!

Nervous, Susie?

Nervous? What's to be nervous with an experienced pilot like you? Well, your

license is almost 24 hours old.

I like the way you think.

Don't you ever go any place without that tape recorder.

No, never.

It's my security blanket.

Clear it!

Would you mind turning it off for a second so I can call the tower and get

permission to text?

Alright, sir.

Roger, and all that kind of stuff.

Tower, this is 3628 Victor at the north end taxi for takeoff, over.

28, Victor, taxi for takeoff. I'm impressed.

Wait till you see how impressed my brother is when he finds out we flew

into his wedding.

That, my boy, is the way the game of checkers is supposed to be played. You

owe me $7 million.

$6 million.

I'll play you the limerick game. Double or nothing.

All right, you're on.

Five-second limit.

Right.

Whoever fails to come up with a line in five seconds loses.

Okay.

Who starts?

Since I'm about to become a multimillionaire, you may begin.

There once was a man from Detroit.

Detroit. Who at quite was extremely adroit.

So one day he tore.

Tore, tore.

The pants that he wore.

Just in time.

So instead he played in a squait.

Squait?

That's S-K-I-R-T. It's pronounced skirt.

Not if you're from Brooklyn. Well, you don't come from Brooklyn. Well, if I did

come from Brooklyn, that's how you pronounce it.

Or even. Oh, no, no.

I'm leaving this to Solomon, the judge.

The elders.

You think they heard you?

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

Greetings, Billy.

Greetings, Elvis.

We would speak to you of pride, Billy. A two-edged sword.

One edge is clean and bright.

Pride in others and in self would justify what the other end is dull and

horny. Pride that blinds a man to common sense that prevents a man from asking

for help when he needs it. And there are times when every man needs help. Even

Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel?

Even he.

I don't understand.

You will, Billy, when the time is right. And before we go, tell Mentor I declare

the Limerick game a draw.

Farewell, Billy.

There's a lot of water down there.

That's why they call it an ocean.

If it was just a little water, they'd call it the Pacific Lake.

Funny.

Listen, do you really know where you're going?

I mean, I'm not the world's greatest swimmer, you know.

Suzie, this compass has headed straight for Santa Barbara Airport.

You just sit back and relax.

Leave it behind us.

You haven't said a word in the past two hours, Billy.

What's bothering you?

Well, what the elders said about Captain Marvel needing help.

Did they mean he was going to, or was it a figure of speech, or what?

But, Billy, you know by now the elders don't talk just to make conversation.

And your worrying about it isn't going to help.

I'm sure you'll find out what they meant when the time comes.

I suppose you're right.

Shouldn't we be seeing Santa Barbara by now?

Don't be such a worrywart.

Probably just a little headwind holding us back. We'll make it.

Why don't you place something on your security blanket?

Okay.

No. What's the matter?

Give me that thing.

Tell me what's going on.

We've been off 10 degrees this whole time.

Does that mean you don't know where we are? Well, not exactly.

Well, isn't there anybody you can ask?

Susie, I can take care of myself. I'm not going to put out a mayday and make

everyone think I'm lost.

Well, aren't you?

Well, none of them need any help.

Hey, Billy!

Billy, I got a big one!

Hang on!

Must weigh a ton.

Need any help?

No, no, no, no. It's all right. It feels like a whale.

Well, it's either a whale or you'll pull out the plug and we'll lose the whole

ocean.

Here it comes.

Hey, I hear they're delicious when they're fresh.

The only problem is you've got to cook them a long time until they're tender.

There's the sun, right?

So we'll just turn right.

And then we'll follow it all the way to the beach.

And then we'll follow the coast.

What's that?

We're running out of gas.

Hey, the plane's in trouble.

It's never going to make it to the beach.

They're going to crash.

Maybe not.

Je sais.

Anything we can do?

Susie, I'm doing it.

Well, what about that other thing that Mayday? No, no, I'm not going to look

like a fool. I can take care of this thing myself.

He's gonna help!

Oh, thank you so much, Captain Marvel. I really thought we had it.

Well, that was a bad place to have your engine quit.

Oh, it didn't quit. We ran out of gas.

You were doing that far from land when you were low on gas.

Well, the compass went cuckoo because of my tape recorder, but Don, he didn't

even know it till it was too late.

Everybody all right?

Yes, sir.

Everything's fine.

You didn't need to bother Captain Marvel. I probably could have landed the

bird myself.

But thanks anyway.

Well, we better get going to Santa Barbara if we're going to make it for

that wedding.

Well, maybe we could give you a lift, huh?

Oh, no, thank you. I can take care of it from here.

Shouldn't you cancel a May Day before you leave? Oh, I didn't send a May Day.

You didn't?

Well, no way. I figure if you can't do it yourself, don't do it. I mean, I

don't ask for help from nobody.

Oh, everybody needs help at times.

No, sir, not me. I stand on my own two feet.

I don't owe anybody anything.

Let's get going.

Goodbye.

Thanks again, Captain Marvel.

I'm afraid that young man is headed for serious trouble eventually.

I like being down here better than flying. It's so much nicer to be able to

smell things and touch them.

It's a lot better being out here than cooped up in a hot city.

Uh-huh.

Except for people who do that.

Wouldn't you think the people that came out here would know better?

Come on, let's get him a fast cleanup job, okay?

What is it?

You smell something?

Smoke. Yeah, I think so.

Hey, look.

Smoke. If there's a forest fire this time of the year, it could go like

lightning. You call the fire department.

I'll take a look.

You should see it.

as bad as it looks?

Worse. It's completely out of control.

I'm going to need some help on this one.

Are those kids in there?

I'm afraid they are.

But there are a lot of animals in there, too.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Call the elders.

I'm going back to see if there's any way to locate those kids.

Listen, you've got to get out of here while you can.

Just go. Go ahead.

No.

There's nothing you can do to help me. Just go.

No, I'm not going.

Oh, elders, faith and strong and wise, appear before my peeking eye.

We hear you, Captain.

And we know your problem. There is only one person in the world who can aid

Captain Marvel in his present situation.

Her identity is as secret as his.

But in this case...

We will reveal it to you. You must go to her, Mentor.

Immediately. Time is short.

Come in.

Miss Andrea Thomas?

Yes?

What can I do for you, Mr... Mentor.

A friend of mine has a very grave problem.

I've been told that you're the only person who can help solve it.

You've been told?

By whom?

The elders.

The elders sent you to see me?

They told me who you really are.

Isis.

Your friend, who is he?

Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel.

I think you should tell me the whole story, Mr. Mentor.

Oh, mighty Isis.

Holland, let me ride thy mighty wind.

It's no use, Susie. I can't make it any farther. Don, we're going to try.

We'll maybe lie in the river and wait for the fire to pass over us. No,

there's not enough water there to save us from the heat.

Susie, you can make it alone. Please go.

No, no.

I got to go to the students.

Holy moly!

Dad!

I love you!

Hang on, kids.

Reinforcements are on the way.

Help me fight thy enemy's fire.

Lay right there, Susie. I'll cover your boat.

Welcome, Isis. Yes, welcome, Isis.

Captain Marvel, I'm very glad to meet you at last.

You have no idea how glad we are.

Yes, thank you, Isis. Thank you very much.

That goes double for me. I think I've learned something very important.

If a man like Captain Marvel can accept help, I sure can.

You're right, Don.

That's a very important lesson.

I'd like to add my thanks to theirs.

No need. It was truly my pleasure.

May I ask one more favor?

Of course. Anything.

Promise me that if you ever need me, any time, any place, you'll call me?

I promise.

And now, I must go.

Farewell, all. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

A

little

soap and water and you'll be new people.

I don't know if I want to have things go that far.

I kind of like the old Suzy. Well, I think I'm going to like the new Don

better.

Don's figured out that a man that's too stiff to bend is level to break when the

pressure's on.

No, and he's going to ask for help when he needs it.

Is that right, Don?

You bet.

Starting now.

I don't know how far I can hike with this old gimpy leg.

How about a lift?

Oh, sure, sure. Let's get him inside.
