[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ouch.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Good work, Sue.

You've increased your force field 100%.

Sue, do you think you're able to withstand

a five ton collision?

I'd like to complete these tests.

I'm not tired, Reed.

Give it all you've got, Ben.

Oh, this is kid stuff.

Step aside, Susie Gal.

You withstood the equivalent of a 10 ton blockbuster.

I feel like I'm the one with the busted block.

And we're getting complaints.

They want to know what hit the place.

I guess the impact was even too much for the shock proof walls.

Better lay off the heavy testing for now, Ben.

That's the trouble with this place.

Right in the heart of town.

We can never have any fun without 100 people calling to complain.

I've been giving this problem some thought lately,

and I feel we need a safer location

for some of our more dangerous experiments.

You mean someplace like the countryside?

Sounds great.

No, Johnny.

Even the countryside might not be safe enough for certain experiments.

What we need is something like this.

I got this pamphlet in the mail today quite by coincidence.

It tells of a small deserted island for sale off the coast.

It's for sale, Chief.

Our own island, Reed?

Isn't it exciting?

It almost sounds too good to be true.

I wonder who sent us that pamphlet.

Who cares?

Come on, chums.

Let's take our amphibious Yukar and go buy us an island.

♪♪

A Fantastic Four should be on their way now.

When they arrive, I shall give them a royal welcome.

♪♪

According to our radar, there's land dead ahead.

It's the island, and no wonder it's for sale, Chief.

What do you mean, Ben?

Well, it's surrounded by a reef,

and it looks too rugged to land on from above.

We'd better surface up close and take a look.

Yukar surfacing?

Roger.

Good ol' caller.

Roger, all power off.

♪♪

I'll check over the island.

♪♪

Sir.

Hey, charge!

You'd better melt up an opening through this reef.

Gotcha, Chief.

Flame on!

♪♪

Some guys have all the fun.

♪♪

Nice work, Johnny boy.

Here, Sue, I'll lend you a hand.

♪♪

There's something about this place that gives me the creeps.

♪♪

This place looks like the dark side of the moon.

I'll admit it looks weird,

but at least we'll have some privacy here.

Reed, I seem to sense the presence of others.

The island is supposed to be deserted, and yet...

Maybe Susie's right, Stretcho.

Look, something's happening to the Yukar.

It's sinking.

Well, something is pulling it down.

I'll take a look.

Johnny!

Oh, no!

The water's put its wings out.

Hold onto my legs, Ben.

I'm going after Johnny.

Check, string bean.

♪♪

Keep going!

♪♪

Good work, Ben.

You are steady as a rock.

Ah, it was nothing.

How's Junior?

I'll survive, thanks to you two.

Oh, Johnny, I'm so glad you're all right.

But what happened to the Yukar?

I'm not sure, but just before I blacked out,

I could swear I saw a large clamp pulling the Yukar

into some sort of underwater cave.

Hmm.

Perhaps Sue was right.

We'd better...

You bet your boots she's right.

Look, somebody's hiding up there watching us.

Maybe he's stuck to Yukar.

Let's get him.

♪♪

Careful.

He may be leading up into a trap.

If he's looking for trouble,

old blue-eyed Ben's here, he'll be glad to apply.

♪♪

Oh, really?

The entrance.

I'll throw some light on the problem.

Play 'em on!

Thanks, Aunt John.

I'll put your way out of here in no time.

♪♪

Save your energy, Ben.

We're crying out loud.

Look who it is.

It's...it's the Mole Man.

Yes, it is I, the Great Mole Man.

Welcome to my kingdom of subterranean.

♪♪

I should have known that island for sale.

Add was a trick.

A trick that worked, I might add.

♪♪

And now, my fantastic fools,

I have prepared a few surprises for you.

A slight move of this lever and...

[ Laughs ]

We're falling!

Hey!

I have made sure you shall never escape me again.

Something is slowing us down.

It's some sort of air pressure to break out balls.

So far, so good.

I guess old Mole Man wants us alive,

at least for a while longer.

But what is Mole Man after?

There's one way to find out.

I'm going to go over to that wall

and find me a few heads to not forget.

Ben, get back.

That wall is starting to close.

It's radio active.

All right, all right.

Get the message.

Oh, look!

There's the Mole Man.

Don't move, anyone.

We'd better find out what he's up to before we act.

Too bad the impetuous thingy failed to destroy himself.

My subjects and I could have been amused by this sight.

[ Laughs ]

And now, you are wondering what my purpose is in capturing you.

Observe the monitor screen on yonder wall.

Since our last encounter, when you thought I had perished,

I have been busy rebuilding my under-Earth network of tunnels

with the aid of my subjects.

We now have a complete subterranean panel system

to every important world capital.

I have built giant hydraulic platforms

under these world cities.

At a signal from me,

any one of these key cities will be lowered

to a point many miles beneath the Earth's surface.

Naturally, the nations of the world

will panic.

At this moment, I will emerge with my followers

and take over the entire surface world.

To make my triumph complete,

you four, who have stopped me in the past,

will witness my victory over the world you have pledged to defend.

Quick, sir. You're invisible force field.

It's our only chance.

You'll never get away with this mad plan of yours, Mole Man.

You're stalling for time, Mr. Fantastic, but it's no use.

You are powerless to stop me.

What's this?

Something is preventing me from pushing this button.

This is impossible.

Nothing shall stop the Mole Man.

It's working, Susie baby.

I'm not sure how much longer I can hold it.

Now that he's distracted, we must act swiftly.

Everybody stand close to me.

Now quickly, sir, put the full force of your invisible field around us.

What's the plan, Reed?

If Sus' force field can shield us long enough,

I think I can bounce us over the radioactive wall.

Here, go.

We did it.

What happened?

It's clobbering time.

I'll handle you, zombie.

Reed, go after Mole Man.

Coming through, fellas.

I'll take a shortcut.

It's all over, Mole Man.

Shut up! Be careful!

He's pulling that cord!

Not careful enough, my impetuous torch.

Let's see how well your flame works in the vacuum chamber.

I am prepared for you.

Can't keep... flame on.

Reed, stretch your arms and grab me!

Hang on, Johnny!

All right, Sue, bang, run!

There may be other trap doors.

Clever deduction, Mr. Fantastic.

Right you are.

And now you are all precisely where I want you.

Look out below!

This isn't so bad.

It's like it's authentic cotton.

Now to get out of here.

Uh-oh.

Now I get it.

The harder I try to get out,

the deeper I go.

It's like quips, then.

Honey, get out somehow.

Hey, what's this?

It's rusted tight,

but not tight enough to keep all handsome.

Benji!

Come tell my bastards.

Old Mole Face must have forgotten about this tunnel.

That was his first mistake.

The furniture, the drapes,

everything I try to touch is unreal.

It's enjoyable watching you try to escape.

In exactly 20 seconds,

you will be put to sleep with a very special nerve gas.

Farewell, white pretty girl.

Everything is illusionary,

except the nerve gas.

Must concentrate my force field into one crashing blow.

Made it.

Just in time.

I'd better become invisible while I look for the others.

These walls are absolutely escape proof.

But I must find a way.

I'll make way to squeeze out.

What's conserving it?

Now, by holding my breath and flexing my muscles, not sleep.

I did it!

I must find the others.

What's this?

I've broken through to what looks like the mole man's main control room.

What a stroke of luck.

Now I'll just rearrange a few of these circuits.

It's... it's no use.

That mole man has devised some sort of circuit.

Every time I try to fling on, I...

Oh, frost.

It's getting colder.

Can't last much longer.

Got to find a way out.

Can't let the others down.

Where does this thing come out?

Little Benji boy is in for some fun and gas.

What's that?

Four tags.

Unless I count it wrong.

That's the dangerous signal for the ever-loving, fantastic four.

I might've known I'd find you lying down on the job.

Hey, kid, you're really hurt.

I was never so glad to see that big ugly face of yours.

Thanks, Ben.

Can you get that fire of yours going?

'Cause something tells me we're gonna be needing it.

Like right now.

It's clobberin' time.

One at a time, chance.

There's enough punches to go around.

Flame on.

I did it.

Step aside, Ben.

We can't stop to take over.

Go to it, Johnny boy.

I'll join you as soon as I find Susie and Reeve.

Aha!

I got me a feeling I'm gonna find Mole Man behind that door.

I only hope I'm not too late to help the others.

Blast!

Those four middlers have somehow escaped.

Search the entire area.

They must not impede my plans.

Your plan!

Your plans just ran into a brick wall.

Namely, the effin' lovin' thing.

And this time you won't use your trap doors on me.

Attack the thing?

I, your master, command you.

I hate to do this to you poor guys, 'cause you don't know any better.

But here goes.

Oh, you overcome my master defenses.

But I, Mole Man, have one tactic that will bring final victory over even the brute thing.

Stop, you bluffin' molehead.

You elected it.

Hey, I can't see.

Precisely, lumbering ox.

You are powerless in the dark while I present the highly developed radar set.

I can't see.

Thus, you are once again at my mercy.

Where are you, you overblown backup?

For you, the bottomless pit.

Did you read it?

Pull yourself up, Ben. Quickly.

I don't know how long I can hold your weight.

Blast you, Reed.

I've had enough of your middly.

Too slow, Mole Man.

I may not be able to see in the dark, but I could hear that coming.

Thanks, Truncho.

I know you're here somewhere, Mole Man.

So if I connect just one haymaker...

Careful, Ben. You'll have us fighting each other.

But where is he?

Ah, before you can find me, you'll be crushed beneath a ten-ton boulder.

Quick, Ben. Flap me against the wall.

Too late. We've had it.

Bullseye!

Right eye target, Johnny. Fight!

Keep your fire burning, kid.

I got a little unfinished business with Mole Head over there.

You have interfered once too often, Ben.

A push of this button in all the major cities of the world

will disappear into the Earth forever.

Hey, what's up?

Since you arrived just in the next of time...

I found the Yukar.

And what are we waiting for?

Let's take this character and put him where he belongs, behind bars.

You've escaped my mini traps, but final victory shall be mine.

This shoot leads to my master control room.

Not even your powers can prevent me from throwing the master switch.

You shall have no world to save.

The mystery is mine.

Stretch down and stop him, Reed.

No, Johnny. Let him go.

What? Some leader you are.

Chickening out at a time like this.

We've got to stop the Mole Man from sinking our city.

No time to explain.

Quickly soon. Lead us to the Yukar.

We've got to get off this island now.

The more of Mole Man's troops.

You three follow me. I'll run into appearance.

Quick, you two. Inside.

Knock it off, Ben. We can't waste a moment.

Ah, just when I was warming up.

That'll hold him for a while.

Okay. Get those turbines going and let's get out of here.

I'm sure you know something you haven't told us.

I think we're a safe enough distance away to explain my haste in getting out of there.

I sure hope you have a good reason.

All right. Here it is.

I found Mole Man's master control room and rearranged the circuits.

He can't possibly sink the city.

But why did we have to leave so quickly?

What will we do about Mole Man?

It looks like Mole Man has taken that job off our hands, Susie.

Look here.

Right, Ben. Once he threw the switch, he set his own island

with all its deadly weapons to the center of the Earth.

I think we've seen the last of the maniacal Mole Man.

I hope so, Reed.

Yeah, good riddance.

Full speed ahead. We've still got a job to do.

What's that, Reed?

Why, we're still looking for an island to conduct our experiments.

Oh, no!
