[MUSIC PLAYING]

Well, well, well, well.

Hey, Ben, what are you trying to do, wreck the place?

Just getting my daily exercise, Junior.

Stand back.

Maybe a little heat on that subject will quiet things down.

Hey, you little tinderbox.

That's too hot to hit.

Now look, you melted my punching bag.

OK, you guys.

Break it up.

Reed, Johnny, Ben, come quick.

It's Dr. Doom.

His image is on the television screen.

He came right on in the middle of the race.

Doom, but--

You thought I was done for, eh?

But you're wrong.

I'm very much alive.

We can see that.

What do you want?

It is my most prime desire to challenge the Fantastic Four

to adieu to the finish.

Why, you hung the iron out.

Why is that?

Let's hear him out.

A good idea, Richard.

Mark well the three predictions of Dr. Doom.

First, I shall remove the heart of the Fantastic Four.

Secondly, I remove your greatest strength.

And my third and last, the strongest power

will conquer all.

That's enough.

You cannot destroy my pseudoimit that easily then, Reed.

What did he mean by those three predictions?

Oh, he's just bluffing.

I'm afraid he meant it, Ben.

I should have been at the photographer's 10 minutes ago.

Should I cancel?

No, Sue, just be careful.

Don't forget, we are to receive honorary memberships

at the Conference of Peaceful Countries in two hours.

Right.

I'll see you at two.

A little to the right, Mrs. Richards.

There.

That's perfect.

Like this?

Just fine.

Now hold it right there.

What's this?

Who are you?

Greetings, Mrs. Richards.

My first prediction comes true.

I have stolen the heart of the Fantastic Four.

You'll never get away with this.

When Reed, Johnny, and Ben find out I'm missing, they'll--

They'll try to rescue you, exactly as I planned.

The green plant life from one of my sporoids

is just one of the many powers with which I intend

to defeat the Fantastic Four.

[PHONE RINGING]

A rocket ship, disguised as a water tank.

Correct, Mrs. Richards.

Where are you taking me?

You'll learn in due time.

Wonder where she is?

I don't know.

She's never late.

My fellow delegates of peaceful countries.

Silence.

Silence, I say.

All of you, listen to me.

I am Dr. Doom, unless you vote to recognize me as world ruler.

Within 48 hours, I'll destroy every major city on Earth

with tidal waves.

Impossible.

How can he do it?

I see there are those who do not believe my threat.

Observe here on this banner where I appear.

I shall go off and use my powers to bring you

a television picture of the Hudson River.

Behold my power.

With a flick of the switch, my tidal impeller

can destroy the very building in which you stand.

I shall demonstrate my power on this abandoned navy arc.

I hope I have convinced you, gentlemen, of my sincerity.

We have to stop him.

Just one chance for a haymaker, and it's all over.

Ah, Richards, thing.

Torch, I felt that you would try to stand

my way so I present to you your father, the Invisible Girl.

It's so.

He's gone so.

You're quite right.

My first prediction has come true.

I have removed the heart of the Fantastic Four.

What do we do?

If you want to see her again, you will not

interfere with my plan.

Hear me again, you delegates.

You have 48 hours to meet my turn.

I bid you adieu.

She's my step, and I'm going to go get her.

Wait, Johnny.

I'll get him.

I've got you, Johnny.

Ben and I are just as anxious as you are to get Sue back,

but we have to plan it together.

Any idea where he's operating from?

Getting a reading on a strange image.

I hope I'm right.

We know he's got to be working from outer space.

If we can locate him, can we get there

before the tidal waves start?

I've got him on the scope.

Put it up on the big reflector screen.

Wow.

Look at the size of that ship.

Let me adjust, and I'll burn through that cloud.

There.

Now I'll see if I can get through the skin.

We'll see what's inside.

It's got everything.

There's the vaporizer that makes the cloud cover.

Here's the cloud again.

Hey, that's the strange cloud that's

been right over the city all week.

That's right.

Doom's ship is made of anti-radar alloy,

but the atomic magnet on our ship

should zero us in on him without any trouble.

Let's prepare for black ops.

OK, gang.

Let's go get that tinhead Dr. Doom.

Hey, Ben.

Are you and Shawnee OK?

Yeah.

Everything's fine.

I'm going to switch on the atomic magnet to start the search.

Look out for violent course changes when I switch over.

Stand by.

Burn.

Johnny, you and Ben still in one piece?

Yeah, so far, so good.

There.

We're coming on course.

Hey, Doom's ship is on the scope.

Hang on for contact.

It's clobberin' time, Doom.

Here I come.

Follow me, gang.

That sounds like Ben.

In here, Ben.

She must be down this companion way.

Welcome, Fantastic Three.

I have prepared a reception committee of my sporoid men.

This cosmic ray simulator was designed

to reproduce the exact rays which give you your powers.

And when fired, it will dissolve those powers

and return you to normal strength humans, thus armless.

Quick, you two.

Duck behind me.

Flame on.

See how the vegetable's like this.

That takes care of them.

Ben took a full charge.

How's it feel?

The ray.

I feel like I'm changing back to the old Ben Grimm.

I'm-- I'm--

Over here, gentlemen, on the viewer.

[LAUGHS]

And so my second prediction comes true.

I have removed your greatest strength.

The thing is just a human.

But Johnny, we've got to find the control room.

I'm back to normal, the way I've always wanted to be.

You can thank me, Ben Grimm.

I offer you a chance to escape and go back to Earth.

Not a chance, Doom.

Not while my pals are in danger.

So read it.

What's the monitor?

I have already trapped your famous partner.

First, the Invisible Girl.

Her force field cannot long withstand

the powerful closing walls.

Now the torch eats shiny flames.

The room spins, extinguishing his flame.

He's burning up the oxygen in the airtight room.

And now for Mr. Fantastic himself,

he is sealed in the refrigeration chamber

so that he will soon shatter like a frozen rubber ball.

So, Ben Grimm, enjoy the show.

I must take leave to contact the Conference of Peaceful Nation.

Their time is up.

And no pilot on Earth can stand in my way.

My pals can't last long in those traps,

and I can't help them as a human being.

This is the only way, even if it means turning back

into the thing for the rest of my life.

Here goes.

It's working.

I feel it.

My strength is coming back.

It's clobberin' time.

Hang on, gang.

Oh, blue-eyed Benji's on the way.

Well, gentlemen, have you reached a decision?

Dr. Doom, the nations of the world

refuse to be ruled by a tyrant such as you.

You refuse?

Very well.

You shall suffer the consequences.

The switch on my Tidal Impala will send enormous tidal waves

over every major city in the world.

Five, four, three, two--

Griff, invisible girl.

How is it possible?

We've got a few tricks, too.

Now I'm going to take you apart.

Hey, hold it back.

Don't bust your knuckles on that steel door.

Let Torch cut through it for you.

I can get through that quick at Neekin.

Is that so, my brawny friend?

Watch.

Maybe we can locate him by checking all the compartments

on the ship's communication scanner.

There's the main inductors in the engine room.

He doesn't seem to be in there.

That's the control.

It's obvious the ship's on fully automatic.

Missile rule.

Don't see him in there, either.

We better check the outside.

This is a good bowel view.

Uh-oh.

I think that's him coming out now.

Who else?

That was him.

Let's get our ship and go after him.

He's still mighty dangerous.

Any luck on the scanner, Reed?

Not much.

I see some tiny blips.

Hey, they're getting bigger.

Look up there at 1 o'clock high.

What are they?

They are missiles.

Look out.

Hey, they seem to go right through us.

They want phantoms to confuse us.

Where do you suppose they're coming from?

Uh-oh.

Here they are again.

I see them.

Hey, get out of here.

This time, they're real.

Anything on the scope now?

No, but what do you make of that one high altitude cirrus

cloud?

That's it.

Doom has a cloud vaporizer aboard the spaceship tender.

Let's run him out of there.

No, I'm going to circle the cloud a few times first.

Nothing happened.

What do you think?

Well, when I was in the Great War,

I used to bore right in clouds.

And if there was a zero in there,

I figured if I couldn't get a shot at him,

I might accidentally ram him.

I don't want to ram him.

But here goes.

Man, is this thing.

There he is.

Now, let's get out of this cloud.

What are you going to do?

Go back in and shoot him down.

That is a knack.

I'll pull him out with the atomic magnet.

There he is.

I can't hold him with his power on.

He's getting away.

He's heading back to the flying fortress.

OK, gang.

Nothing to do but go back and dig him out of that flying institute

guard, as I used to say.

Tally ho!

We'll lock on magnetically at the same place.

Enter the ship with caution.

Doom has lots of mean toys.

Ah, there they are.

In the battery room.

Perfect.

Now to release my fuel.

Power spheres.

Doom is in one of his minor control rooms.

But which one?

We must carry out our search with caution.

We're trapped.

Yes, Fantastic Four.

You are held prisoners by my positive and negative spheres.

I will leave you there for the moment.

These king-sized marbles are tough.

I can hardly move them.

Wait a minute.

Penn, you push.

And I'll try to get my hand out.

That's it.

This might work.

If we can reverse the polarization in the whole ship,

these spheres might let go and release us.

And then one.

You've got to hand it to old Doom.

He can sure think up the weirdies.

I'll turn you all to statues with liquid titanium steel.

Work so.

You're forced in.

Excellent.

They're trapped in a steel prison.

And now to proceed with my plan.

I'll clap for a hole in this point cage.

Ow!

Save your fists, muscles.

I'll melt us out.

Wow, this is tough stuff.

Johnny, stop.

You're using up all the oxygen.

I'm suffocating.

The floor is made of the same special steel.

And it's blamed.

Bubble is sealed to it.

Then we're trapped.

Maybe not.

I've got an idea.

Sue, this will strain your powers to the limit.

But concentrate your force field into one single power ray

and bombard the floor.

If you can penetrate, we'll have oxygen for Johnny to burn through.

You did it, Susie.

Just in time.

She's exhausted.

Let's get out of here.

Look.

A cotton pickin' arsenal.

Who needs weapons?

Let's get you.

Hold it, Johnny.

I think that arch is booby trapped.

Let's test it.

Good heavens.

An atomizer ray.

It'll turn us to dust if we walk through that arch.

Got it.

If you're all game.

Johnny, burn a hole outside and then into the next room.

Okay?

Check.

The fantastic four are about to become acrobats.

Ready, Johnny?

Ready.

Alley-oop.

There, easy as pie.

Don't talk, Paul.

We made it.

The next time, I think I'll take a taxi.

My sentiment's exactly better.

But right now, we've got a job to finish.

Let's find Doom.

With the fantastic four at bay,

I'll now start the first tidal wave on London.

Oh, pardon me, Dr. Doom.

Grim.

Your third prediction has come true.

The strongest power has conquered after all.

I refuse to be captured by the likes of you.

He's opening the escape hatch.

I missed.

I couldn't grab him.

He'll need his best devices to come out of this.

Gentlemen, as you all know,

the ultimatum of Dr. Doom no longer exists.

His maniacal threats for world domination

were thwarted and destroyed by the magnificent efforts

of the famous fantastic four.
