[MUSIC]

>> I'm afraid we're lost.

[MUSIC]

>> What a way to clear a hiking trail.

[MUSIC]

>> This is the last time I'll wanna take a vacation in a forest in Transylvania.

>> Sue's right about being lost and it's getting dark.

I'll stretch up and see if I can find out where we are.

[MUSIC]

>> I could flame on, but I might set the forest on fire.

>> What do you see?

>> There's some kind of ruins in a clearing just ahead.

It looks like an old castle.

Heads up, I'm coming down.

>> It bends up ahead, let's go.

[MUSIC]

>> Wow, get a load of this place.

>> It's right out of Frankenstein.

>> Sure is weird.

>> It seems abandoned.

We can go in and investigate.

>> I'm frightened, Reed.

>> Hold my friends, the young lady is quite right.

She has every right to be frightened.

>> This old castle belonged to the infamous Diablo.

>> Diablo, who are you, sir?

>> I am Baron Hugo, mayor of this area.

And you are the famous Fantastic Four, welcome.

>> Thank you, Baron.

>> But who and what danger is there in this Diablo?

>> If you would care to spend the night at my estate,

I will tell you the legend of Diablo.

>> Why, thank you, Baron, we accept.

>> Splendid, follow me.

[MUSIC]

>> And so the evil alchemist Diablo, who used his potions to harm mankind,

was sealed in the dungeons of his castle by my ancestors.

Exactly 100 years ago tonight, but he hasn't bothered anyone for 100 years.

But tonight is exactly 100 years.

And that furthermore, a creature many times stronger than mere

man would one day come and set him free.

>> What's everybody looking at me for?

I'm not gonna settle Diablo free.

>> That is most reassuring.

Now, let's all get some rest.

>> That's for me.

Clearing that path was pretty tough, even for me.

>> Yeah, good night, my friends.

I shall see you in the morning.

[MUSIC]

>> Boy, this is some joint.

I feel like sleeping beauty.

>> Beauty?

>> My kid, I'm still as ugly as ever.

I'll never look different.

[MUSIC]

>> Come to me, Ben Grim.

Come to me.

I have need for you.

Come, come, come.

>> I'll follow, I have to.

>> Follow me.

>> This voice is leading me through the forest to Diablo's castle.

And I can't resist it.

[MUSIC]

>> Here, things, open the box.

Only you can do it.

>> I must, I got her.

[MUSIC]

>> One more task, mighty one.

You must tear off this steel grating that holds me prisoner.

I command you.

>> I must obey.

[MUSIC]

>> At last, after 100 years, Diablo is free, free to roam the world.

>> And now, Ben Grim, known to the world as The Thing, you shall be rewarded.

[MUSIC]

>> Why would Ben have gone back to the old castle alone?

>> I don't know, Sis, but we'll soon find out.

Hey, wait, Reed, look over there.

It looks like a giant plug.

>> Let's go investigate.

[MUSIC]

>> I don't like the looks of this.

I can't believe that Ben would act without letting us know.

>> What is this?

Only Ben could have torn off a heavy steel grating like this.

>> Listen, I hear voices behind this wall.

Why it sounds like Ben.

>> Maybe that plug's in trouble.

It looks like it's up to me.

>> Blame on.

[MUSIC]

>> Come on, this is some kind of lab.

Hey, look, there's Ben, but who's that?

>> Come in, my friends, we've been expecting you.

>> Honey, like the new Ben gang, I'm almost human.

>> You're a great Ben.

How did it happen, and who is he?

>> This is my friend, the great Diablo.

It was he who gave me a sip of his magic potion, and as a reward for his aid,

I have made him my assistant.

>> What do you mean, assistant?

>> In return for my aid in restoring his human appearance,

he has agreed to serve me for one year.

>> I've tried a mixture of the same concoction, and it didn't last.

>> That's because you are not Diablo.

Observe.

[MUSIC]

Now, do you still dare doubt the power of Diablo?

>> Let's face it, Stretcho, he's done what you couldn't do.

>> He's done more than that.

He's clouded your reason, Ben, but he won't get away with it.

>> Hold it, Stringbean.

You don't dig me.

Nobody harms Diablo, not even you.

>> Ben, knock it off.

You don't know what you're doing.

>> Easy torch, Ben's under a spell.

>> Yeah, I know.

I'm going after Diablo.

>> Griff, he's coming at me.

Help.

>> I'll stop him with this sand, master.

>> I've flamed out.

>> You should be proud of yourself, Ben Grim.

We're only trying to help you.

>> Well done, loyal servant, well done.

>> Yeah, and you three can help me by leaving me alone.

>> If I serve Diablo for a year, he's promised to make me like a normal human again.

>> Shall we drag him out of here?

>> Oh, he's been brainwashed by Diablo.

>> I just can't believe we've lost men.

>> Enough.

I command you to leave my castle lest you try my patience too far.

You hurt the man.

Take off.

>> So long, Ben.

>> How come we left without a fight, Reed?

>> Because I obtained something more important, a serum, and now I have to run some tests

on this potion Diablo used on Ben.

They might be the most important test in our time.

>> Another bulletin from Transylvania.

It is reported that Diablo has now perfected a used serum.

>> I must have that potion at any cost.

>> I can't dream of having a potion at any price.

>> All in good time.

Soon the whole world will learn of my price.

>> Diablo's potion is fabulous.

>> Ah, but what if he would turn his power to evil uses?

Could he be stopped?

>> Well, let's find out if Diablo's protective coating works.

It works.

Our strongest missiles cannot penetrate it.

>> So, cut quickly.

>> What is it, Reed?

>> I knew it.

>> Diablo is a fraud.

His potions are dangerous.

>> Look out, Sue.

>> This is terrible, Reed.

It's so far he's broken no law.

There's nothing we can do to stop him.

>> Bad news, Ben.

Diablo's hired a private army.

He's turning his old castle into a fortress.

I tell you, Reed, with the millions he's making plus his army,

he could conquer the whole world.

We must stop him.

>> We can't stop him until he breaks the law.

>> I feel dizzy.

I've never felt sick before in my life.

Not until I took your potion.

It is nothing grim.

Hear a sip of this and you'll feel better.

It will make a new man out of you.

>> You lied to me.

>> You tricked me.

You turned me against my friends.

But now you will pay for it.

>> Back, you lumbering ox.

You're no match for the magic potions of Diablo.

Take my match.

Fall, my heavyweight friend.

My paralyzing potion will keep you out of my way.

Too bad you found out.

I could have used you longer.

>> From the four corners of the earth,

come reports of the failure of Diablo's potions.

Virtual fields return to desert waste.

Ruckus has shattered his protecto coatings.

Diablo has been condemned as a menace to all mankind.

>> What are we waiting for, Reed?

>> Right, Johnny.

A time has come to act.

Sue, you and I will take the fantastic coup.

>> I'll go on ahead.

Flame on.

>> Enemy and trigger coming in at 2 o'clock.

Fire rockets.

>> Rockets coming right at me.

Gotta dodge them.

Beat it.

Uh-oh, they're coming back.

They've zeroed on my heat trail.

Now if I can just go fast enough,

I can lead those rockets back to Diablo's castle.

Wow, just made it.

Now the deal with Diablo.

>> You've won the first round, but right behind you

is my stun shower gun.

Revenge is mine.

Prepare to fire.

>> Good work, sis.

>> The blasted spray has temporarily paralyzed my troops,

but I am powerful enough to conquer the world alone.

>> If I can just put him out of action long enough,

we'll redefine poor men.

>> What is this?

The gun is aiming at me.

Whatever it is, it shall be rendered harmless

by this capsule.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> Ah, I should have known.

The invisible girl.

>> Thanks, sis, for keeping the gun off me.

But now it's my turn.

I'll throw him a fiery lasso.

Here goes.

>> Don't close the loop, or I'll blow this whole castle sky high.

>> I think he's bluffing, but I can't take a chance.

Let's get out of here.

>> While he's in that control room, we're sitting ducks.

>> Run, you fools, but you can't escape my potions.

I shall go to my dungeon to plan my next move.

>> I wish we could find Reed and Ben.

>> What was that?

>> It's me.

>> Hi, partners.

Good news.

I've located Ben.

>> Great.

What are we waiting for?

>> Where is he, Reed?

>> He's up the stairs in another section of this dungeon.

Let's go.

>> I wonder where Diablo is.

>> He's here somewhere.

But first we have to free Ben.

There he is.

>> Oh, poor Ben.

>> He's alive, Sue, but I can't burst through that special glass.

>> Then how will we get him out?

>> Stand back.

I'll burn through that stuff in two seconds.

Play him on hand.

>> That's the first time that's happened.

It's too tough for me.

>> The poor thing.

It's terrible to see how that evil Diablo has trapped him.

>> Try it again, Torch, and give it full intensity.

>> Full intensity?

If the glass goes too soon, I could hurt Ben.

>> Be careful, Johnny.

>> Full intensity.

>> Ha, ha, ha, you fools, you're wasting your time.

I will soon be the end of all of you.

You've meddled in my affairs long enough.

I'm through toying with you.

You will now join your friend Grim for a nice, long sleep.

There, Richard, how do you like the smell?

And you, my invisible girl, a wisp for you.

And last, but not least, you, my blistering friend.

>> No, you don't.

Uh-oh.

Ah, if I can just blame, blame, blame.

>> Now I have them all.

You, Richards, you discovered the flaw in my potions.

But they are only temporary.

And you were paralyzed half of my army.

And the torch here caused heavy destruction to my fortress.

And you, you thing, you didn't know when you were well off.

Now you are all here in my power.

And that's where you will stay until I've

conquered the entire world.

But worth that, the thing, my chemicals must be wearing off.

He is loose, the most powerful being in the whole world.

He's loose.

Back to my lamp.

I must get back to my lamp.

>> I'd better go after that guy and then come back

and free the gang.

>> Ah, he can never break into my inner sacrum.

These walls are titanium reinforced steel.

And with my time lock on--

>> Come on, baby.

Now it's your turn.

>> No, no, I've locked myself in with this monster.

>> Hold on, mighty Diablo.

>> Wow, that sounds like men on a rampage.

>> Oh, my head.

>> The thing has created an earthquake.

>> I'll give old Ben a hand.

>> Blame on.

>> Let's go this way.

>> I must get more chemicals.

>> You can't get through here.

>> I'm blocked by that blowtorch.

I've got to go back.

>> By me, little man.

>> Or us?

>> I can't believe it.

The great Diablo, the invisible, is decent.

>> Back in your hole, Diablo.

Your evil days are done.

The world is now a safe place for all mankind forever.

>> You said the world is now a safe place, but it's not.

Not as long as this castle stands.

>> You're right, Johnny.

Let's take it down.

>> OK, watch me.

Blame on.

>> Stand back.

>> Look at the two-man destruction committee.

Ben, you were great.

>> It's good to have you back, strong man.

And presto, I'm here too.

>> One thing's sure, Diablo will never get out of there again.

>> He can't.

>> He can't. Then we'll never be fooled again.

>> It wouldn't matter anyhow.

Not the way I fused the stones together after Ben piled them up.

>> Hey, I just thought of something.

>> Uh-oh, so did I.

>> We were lost when we started this.

>> Right. And we're still lost.

A fine bunch of heroes we are.
