Duck to the banner, jumping by gamma ray, turns into the hulk.

Ain't he a glamorist?

Cracking the town with the power of a bull.

Ain't no monster crowned who is as lovable as ever loving hulk.

Hulk, hulk.

At his home in an army post somewhere in the southwest,

a frustrated General Thunderbolt Ross is angrily pacing the floor.

Betty, I must find a hulk before he does any more damage.

Perhaps if you find young Rick Jones, he might need you to him.

There's something in what you say.

I'll try it.

Attention all personnel, General Ross speaking.

Find Rick Jones, top priority, over and out.

Hold on, son.

You're Rick Jones, aren't you?

What's it to you?

This area's been under surveillance all day.

We knew you'd show up sooner or later.

What do you guys want?

The General wants you.

He knows you're the only one with some connection to the hulk.

You can't push me around this way.

Jones, I'll get right to the point.

You've got to bring the hulk to us.

There's no time to lose.

Sorry, General.

I can't tell you anything.

Look, son, this is bigger than you or me.

We can't have that creature managing mankind.

Cool it, mister.

Nothing could make me right on the hulk.

As the sullen teenager remains adamant, refusing to talk,

the General has no choice but to release him.

He's bound to return to the hulk.

I'll give orders to have him followed.

Stay with him.

Don't hit him out of your sight.

He won't escape us this time.

You've got to be careful.

General Ross has been questioning me again.

Always, someone's always after me.

Troops, they found me, but they mustn't find the hulk.

Break down the door.

Hulk, you've got to get out of here.

Fast, jump, break out.

Get to the lab in our secret cave.

I'll meet you there.

Then the mightiest living thing on earth makes a fantastically

so powerful that he seems to be flying.

He got away again.

The General will be furious.

This is the town of Plainville.

24 hours ago, a busy, bustling little city.

Now, nothing moves, save for two FBI men who cautiously drive

through the silent streets.

Our trip was right, Mike.

This town is the same as the other two.

They're all motionless.

It's as though everyone's been turned into a living statue.

If it went for the heartbeat, you'd think that we're dead.

Look, not a flicker of movement.

It's always the same, not even an eye blink.

And as usual, the entire town's been ransacked.

Even the bank vault's been picked clean as a whistle.

It's impossible.

Defies all logic.

An entire town's spellbound.

If only we could find a clue, any little thing to go on,

but there's nothing.

Meanwhile, the Hulk, zooming through the air.

Chances on a desperate situation.

A stalled school bus and an approaching train.

A thin flicker of Bruce Banner's intelligence causes him

to quickly plummet to the stalled bus.

Later, in a nearby town.

Listen to this.

The Hulk averts school bus tragedy.

The Hulk has disappeared, but it's believed

that Rick Jones, age 16, knows of his whereabouts,

although he refuses to talk.

I don't get it.

What's that got to do with us?

My scheme is to capture the Hulk,

and we'll have the greatest drawing card in the world.

But how could we ever capture him?

Nothing to it.

There's a picture of the boy in the paper.

The ticket taker will watch for him,

and we'll grab Rick Jones.

We'll capture the Hulk when he comes to rescue him,

and then we'll have the biggest box office attraction

of the century.

But how do you know that kid will come to the circus

when we play endspin?

Stupid.

No boy can resist us, circus.

Meanwhile, Rick returns to the cave

to find the Hulk already there.

Good work, Hulk.

You're quite a hero.

Doesn't matter.

Nobody will ever think I'm any good,

no matter what I do.

I'm going to leave you for a while.

You get some shut-eye while I'm gone.

You'll need it.

A little later.

Hey, what's this?

Oh, nothing I like better than a circus.

Buying his ticket, Rick is recognized by the seller,

who quickly points him out to the ringmaster.

Now we'll get him after the act.

You know what to do.

Welcome to the most exciting show, Honor.

Tonight before your very eyes, I, the ringmaster,

will perform unbelievable feats.

But remember, you must not take your eyes off me for a second.

And now, behold, watch the stars on my jacket

and the circles in my hat see them spinning round and round,

spinning and spinning round and round.

It is over.

I have them all appetized.

My brain is getting clouded.

I must reach the hulk before I black out.

Hulk, come to me, Hulk.

In a hypnotized state, Rick is tied and carried

to a circus wagon.

And so the caravan leaves for the next town

with the ringmaster triumphantly exclaiming

that he has the key to a fortune.

Will the Hulk hear Rick's last cry?

And if so, what fate awaits them?

Slowly, the strange carnival procession heads

for its next destination, with the boy Rick Jones held captive

in one of the circus wagons, a foil

of the ringmaster's sinister scheme to capture the Hulk.

Meanwhile, back in his cave, the Hulk, having rested,

steps on the buttons that activate the awesome gamma ray

to turn himself into Dr. Bruce Banner, scientist.

Oh, I feel ill.

I better rest it while my head.

These changes take so much out of me.

Oh.

Meanwhile, the irascible General Ross is griping,

as usual, to his daughter, Betty.

I can't understand how that boy could have disappeared.

There's not a trace of him.

Oh, there's Bruce.

Perhaps he might know something about Rick's disappearance.

Hi, Bruce. You're just in time.

Maybe you can help Dad.

They can't locate Rick Jones anywhere.

He's nowhere to be found.

But wherever he is, I have a hunch the Hulk will be there too.

What do you think?

I've no idea.

Have you set out search parties?

Yes, of course.

And alerted the army to be on the lookout for the Hulk,

as well as Rick Jones.

I wish I could help you.

I'd better be going.

I'll drop it another time.

But Bruce, you've just arrived.

Sorry. I just remembered something I must do.

I'll see you soon.

I can't understand what could have happened to Rick.

I must get back to the cave to see if he could be there.

He's not here.

Whether I like it or not, I'll have to turn myself

into the Hulk again.

It's the only way to find him.

Once more, the mild scientist, Dr. Bruce Banner,

becomes the rampaging, incredible Hulk.

Here's another town pillaged.

If they don't find out something soon,

the people will begin to panic.

Ladies and gentlemen, I, the ringmaster,

first of all, welcome you to the brightest job of all.

You are about to witness our miraculous main attraction.

I want you to concentrate on the circular lines on my hat.

Watch the stars spinning around and around and around.

Keep watching.

And once more, the ringmaster casts his spell

over the spectators to pursue his devious scheme.

And now for the town itself.

Take money, jewels, everything that is nailed down.

Then, as the ringmaster hypnotizes the remaining

inhabitants, his performers continue their looting.

You know, Brutal, this is just too easy.

Just keep pedaling now.

There's more to grab.

Hey, Tina, here's some more jewelry.

You missed.

All right now, back to the caravan.

There are many more towns for the ringmaster to visit.

You better let me out of here before the Hulk comes.

He'll tear you apart in the circus too.

You fool.

I want him to attempt to rescue you.

That's what we're waiting for.

Okay, it's your funeral.

He'll come and really fix your circus wagon.

Haha, don't worry.

We'll take care of him.

I wonder if he got my message before I blacked out.

I'd better try to reach him again.

Into the very heart of the metropolis leaps the Hulk,

searching when suddenly a thought wave from Rick assails his ring.

Hulk, Hulk, come to me.

I need you.

Boy in danger, gotta get to him.

Charlie.

Hey, Charlie, do you see what I see in that rear view mirror?

Huh?

I don't just, oh, no, it can't be, but it is.

It was the Hulk, but we missed him.

Let me out of here.

I won't stop yelling until you know.

You'd better do something about that kid.

He's yelling his head off.

The Hulk won't rest until he finds him, but

in the meantime, we'd better shot him up.

I'm warning you, mister.

You better unlock this coming case.

So, little fella, you want to sleep again?

That's all.

Gaze into my eyes.

Don't look away.

The evil ringmaster has hypnotized Rick again,

thereby breaking mental contact with the Hulk.

I lost him.

Rick, Rick, answer me.

Where are you?

But there is no response, and

the Hulk soars aimlessly about, unable to locate the boy.

How will Rick escape the ringmaster's diabolical plan?

As the Hulk is searching for Rick,

the strange circus is on its way to another town.

Come in, come in, ha ha, the ringmaster is waiting, ha ha ha ha.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I ringmaster welcome you to the must-exchange show honor.

Now, you're about to witness our miraculous main attraction.

Don't take your eyes off me, Vernon.

Watch, see, behold, note the spinning lines on my hat.

The stars on my jacket, the line, the stars.

See them spin, run, run, see them spin, spin.

It is over, I have bent them to my will.

They can neither move nor speak.

Now go, my performers, and give another of your fine performances.

What a pity none will be awake to applaud you.

Hope you're enjoying the show, mister.

Meanwhile, Rick, awakened from his hypnotic state,

lies helpless, bound and gagged.

Well, I gotta be going, Rick.

Time for my performance.

Stay where you are until I get back.

Golly, it looks like I'm really in trouble

if the Hulk doesn't come to help me.

Hulk, Hulk, hear me, Hulk.

Follow my thought waves.

That's him.

Rick, I'm coming.

At last, the Hulk.

Don't worry, I'll take care of him.

Just aim me toward him.

Quickly, the power hose.

Nothing that lives can withstand its pressure.

He's stunned.

Now's our chance.

Blind him and put him in that wagon.

The men bind the mighty Hulk,

thinking they have overpowered him.

But he is simply motionless,

waiting for the next command from Rick Jones.

Ah, now we've got the key to our fortune.

No one will be able to resist coming in to see the Hulk.

Working hastily through the night,

the Ringmaster's men have prepared new billboards

with which to paper the next town.

I worried Rick Jones.

Over here's a conversation.

Now that the Hulk is captured, we've got it made.

The Ringmaster sure is smart.

They've got him.

Hulk, break loose and come to me.

I'm coming, Rick.

Moments later, the Hulk has released Rick.

I knew you'd come, Hulk.

Listen, go back and tie yourself up again

and stay there until you hear from me.

I'll sneak out and get the FBI.

I'll tie myself up.

We build him as the phenomenon of the century.

The suckers have come in droves.

But you are a genius.

The Ringmaster's performers

apprehensively watch the new act break in.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please.

Tonight, for the first time in New York,

we are presenting for your entertainment.

Ringmaster, we're under arrest.

This is the FBI.

You'll have to come with us.

They've been on your trail, but thanks to this boy,

we've got you now.

You've got nothing on me, no proof, nothing.

Oh, yes, they have.

Your loyal performers told off.

Instantly at the sound of Rick's voice.

Oh, that's the super human power.

Oh my gosh, I got him trapped.

Watch out, you fool.

He's got superhuman power.

He's got away.

The Hulk is sporting everything.

The Ringmaster will escape at all this confusion.

Be careful.

Don't shoot the Hulk.

I'll handle him.

Hulk, the Ringmaster, after him.

He won't get away from me.

He's lifting.

The main support pole right out of the ground.

Well, save me.

Don't let him beat me.

Hulk, let him go.

Put him down.

As the Hulk obeys Rick,

armed troops from the nearby command post burst in.

The army, they're asking me again.

Stand aside, boy.

That creature must be stopped before it's too late.

No, no, you can't.

He's not a monster.

He's, he's, I can't tell you what he is,

but nobody's shooting him.

Up, Hulk.

Up, play through the pen.

You did it, Hulk.

We're free.

You won't escape me, forever, Hulk.

I swear it.

Free once more.

The two friends zoom across the sky.

Free, but for how long?

Ever, love, and Hulk.

Hulk, Hulk.
