(male narrator) Aquaman

swift and powerful monarch of the ocean

with the ability to summon and command

all creatures of the deep.

Aquaman, who with his teenage ally, Aqualad

guards and defends all that lives in the seas

against the forces of evil.

Aquaman

King of the Seven Seas.

[theme music]

In an unexplored depth of the ocean

a maze of undersea caves, canyons and chasms

provides a perfect hiding place

for three familiar undersea craft

and a conference of evil.

This is the time to combine our genius

against a common adversary.

'You, Black Manta'

'and you, Vassa, Queen of the Mermen..'

And you, Brain.

Yes. And me, the Brain.

One at a time, Aquaman has defeated us.

But together operating from an organized battle plan

we must be unbeatable.

[Brain laughing]

- Yes. - What's the plan?

While Vassa attacks Aquaman's underwater detection system

'you, Manta, will penetrate Atlantis'

'with your new gas globules.'

And you?

To myself, I assign the pleasurable task

of destroying Aquaman.

[buzzing]

(Aqualad) 'That's two stations destroyed, Aquaman.'

Could be an all out attack. Let's go.

[intense music]

Launch tactile torpedoes!

(Aqualad) Look, Aquaman, the whale sub.

(Aquaman) 'Queen Vassa.'

whoosh

Watch them explode with the touch of a feather.

Torpedoes. Cut out, tadpole.

I'll knock off the leading one!

No, Aqualad, don't.

boom

(Aquaman) 'Watch out, Tusky.'

boom

(Aquaman) 'Vassa's mermen.'

[whimpering]

[intense music]

Wha-what's happened to Vassa's mermen, Aquaman?

Chickened out, tadpole. Let's get out of here.

Oh-oh, trouble in Atlantis.

- Aquaman. Aquaman. - 'That's Mera.'

Atlantis is under attack by the Black Manta.

He's firing strange-colored bubbles

that burst into flame. Hurry, please.

Bouncing blowfish!

Look what's comin' from Black Manta's ship.

(Aquaman) 'Chemical flame gas. It'll melt the dome.'

Tusky, go away from that.

How are we gonna beat these gas things?

(Aquaman) 'Tusky's got the answer.'

Now, I'll need some undersea jugglers.

(male narrator) Quickly the Sea King issues a telepathic summon

and in moments a school of dolphins respond.

We'll get the Manta, tadpole. You and the others--

Take care of the fires at the dome.

Check. Let's go.

boom

Fire brigade, follow me.

whoosh whoosh

boom boom

- They're leaving the sea. - Come on, let's trail them.

(Aquaman) 'There's the Manta, the whale, and the Brain ship too.'

Holy haddock! What a trio.

Ah, there they are.

Standby and see how the Brain succeeds

where you two failed.

Wait here.

[dramatic music]

zap

Leapin' lampreys!

We gotta figure some way to get Aquaman out of there.

My process crystallizes the salt in the water.

In moments right before your eyes

'Aquaman will be entombed in a rock of salt.'

(Black Manta) This had better work, Brain, or else..

Or else you will take the consequences alone.

I will take the victory alone. Watch.

beep beep

[laughing]

That glass was made to withstand

even your strength, Aquaman.

[laughing]

'It's all over for you.'

zap

crash

[beeping]

crash

(Black Manta) You failed, Brain.

'Now I'll finish you off.'

boom

(Aquaman) Let's take 'em.

We must get Manta before he gets us.

'Fire tactile torpedoes.'

boom

There is no honor among thieves.

Come on, let's go, troops.

[dramatic music]

Don't touch Vassa's ship. It's a floating mine.

What about Black Manta and the Brain?

If they survive the explosion

they've already made their getaways.

Let's head for home, tadpole.

[instrumental music]

In just a moment, we'll return with another exciting adventure

featuring a guest star

from the galaxy of super superheroes.

(male narrator) A scarlet costume ejects from his ring.

And in a blur of motion

police scientist Barry Allen

becomes The Flash

world's fastest human.

The Flash whose speed enables him

to vibrate through solid walls

and conquer the barriers of time and space

in the pursuit of evildoing.

The Flash

Scarlet Speedster for justice.

In a nuclear laboratory outside Central City

police scientist Barry Allen

who is secretly The Flash

has come to witness a unique experiment.

Now, watch, Mr. Allen, as I stimulate

the growth cells of this red ant.

[dramatic music]

Oh, dear.

[gasps] I must have given it an overdose.

- Professor, look out. - Stand back.

(Barry) 'You've changed the ant into an unearthly monster.'

- Oh! Look out! Look out! - 'Careful.'

- 'What's that?' - 'Oh, my..'

Gas.

(Professor) 'I can't breathe.'

[men coughing]

In the confusion, Barry Allen darts away.

Then flicks the secret switch

that releases the brilliant red costume

of the Flash, world's fastest human.

Spinning with great speed, the Flash creates

a protective vacuum around himself.

[Flash coughing]

Blinding light. Can't see.

[Flash coughing]

boom

Oh.

That overdose of radiation gave the creature the power

to create chemical effect at will.

It must be found. I'll call the police.

Do that. Meanwhile I'll do what I can.

[dramatic music]

There it is. Going into that tunnel.

boom

That overgrown bug is really lethal.

Must locate it.

Like a human helicopter, the Flash rotates his body

rising faster, faster.

There it goes. I'll catch up with him in a flash.

You won't get away from me this time, buster.

Ooh. What is this?

It's harder than rock.

[dramatic music]

thud

Jumping Jehoshaphat!

I-it's a man in there.

I'll be damned. How'd he get in there?

Never mind that. How will he get out?

Look, that's how.

[thudding]

(Flash) Phew! It's stuffy in there.

You alright?

Anything we can do for ya, young fella?

Thanks, old-timers.

I'm okay, but I've got a heap of trackin' to do.

So long.

- Did you ever? - Nope. I never.

Picking up the creature's trail of wreckage..

...the Flash embarks on a lightning track down.

His superhuman speed enabled him to scale the sides

of sheer cliffs.

Or jump hundreds of yards.

Skim the surface of lakes.

Suddenly..

There it goes.

'Heading for that hydroelectric plant.'

Better get there fast.

Clear the area.

Everyone, take cover.

[screeching]

(Flash) Oh, no, you don't.

'Strike one.'

Strike two.

Two strikes. One to go.

Ready?

zap

Great thunder. It's a massive raw energy.

'Wow.'

This is one time..

...retreat is the better part of valor.

boom

Steel cable. Just what I need.

This should ground your charge.

swish

[crackling]

'That did it.'

Now I'll wait.

Am I seeing things?

By George, can it be?

Yes, it is.

It's shrinking to its normal size.

That cable drained off all its nuclear powers.

Come on, little bug.

Oh, excellent.

The Geiger counter indicates zero radiation.

'It's just a plain little ant again.'

Yes, a little ant with big dreams.

If it remembers you, Flash

those dreams must be nightmares.

[laughter]

Coming up next

more action-packed adventures with Aquaman

King of the Seven Seas.

Featuring Aqualad and Tusky the Walrus.

[neighing]

(male narrator) In the seas near Atlantis

Aqualad, Tusky and the flame-haired Mera

are returning to the Aquacave.

Suddenly..

Aqualad, what's that?

Sufferin' sea snails! Torpedo Man.

Torpedo Man? I thought he--

Look, I gotta follow him and see what he's up to.

You two go get Aquaman fast.

[neighing]

Tusky, go fetch Aquaman.

[intense music]

Murmuring moonfish!

'I wonder if Aquaman knows about this undersea junkyard.'

[barking]

Got your message, Tusky. Lead on.

[instrumental music]

Now as the deadly Torpedo Man

zooms down into the valley of junk

from a red buoy emerges Magneto

another bizarre metal villain

who as he streaks up with flashes

with electro-magnetic powers.

(Torpedo Man) Turn it off, Magneto. Turn it off.

I need your help to destroy Aquaman.

Claw, I want you to help me get Aquaman too.

Holy hotfish, Mera better bring Aquaman soon or..

[neighing]

Oh, Imp! Stop him.

Aqualad?

Aquaman's keen ally, get him.

clank clank

[neighing]

Aqualad, watch out.

[dramatic music]

zap zap

(Torpedo Man) 'This will surely bring Aquaman.'

Standby to ambush him.

Leaping lionfish, Mera.

Aquaman's riding right into a trap.

We've got to warn him.

How? We're trapped ourselves.

(Aqualad) 'Yeah, thanks to you.'

Great waves! There is Imp and Mera's horse riderless.

That's it, Aquaman.

Keep coming straight to your doom.

[intense music]

- Torpedo. - You shall never leave alive.

[whirring]

You alright, Tusky?

- 'Help, help, help.' - 'Help! Help!'

Aqualad and Mera are in this thing.

Magneto, Claw, attack them now.

- Aquaman. - Are we ever glad to see you.

Great waves, what's this?

(Aqualad) 'Torpedo's wierdo helpers.'

Mera, get out fast.

Go away, tadpole.

Shoot him, Magneto.

I'll take care of Magneto. Go help Tusky.

zap

We need help.

zap

Move, Tusky.

Here come the marines.

Better finish Aquaman before his fish army arrives.

This ought to stop Torpedo.

Magneto, power on.

[zapping]

Keep the Claw busy, tadpole, I'll get help to scrap Magneto.

zap

Now two giant squid respond to Aquaman's commands.

(Torpedo Man) Power up, Magneto. Power up.

But the magnetic villain's power control is gone.

Broken by the flying scrap.

Get him, troops. Tie him up.

bam

Aqualad and Tusky need help.

Clear off. I'll handle this character.

thud

Great going, Aquaman.

Don't crow yet, tadpole. Torpedo's still on the loose.

(Aqualad) 'Here he comes.'

(Aquaman) 'Come on, into that grotto.'

Away from this junkyard, maybe we can beat him.

(Torpedo Man) Now you're at my mercy.

Watch him, minnow.

Puffing porcupinefish!

We need help again.

[beeping]

Good old thresher sharks.

(Aquaman) 'Scatter, team.'

[Torpedo Man laughing]

[Torpedo Man groans] 'No!'

'Help us, I can't stop myself.'

Wailing wolfish!

That's a deep endless maze down there.

Yes, minnow, I think we've finally seen

the last of Torpedo.

Let's head home.

Am I glad to leave that place.

So am I, tadpole. So am I.

[clapping]
