Original subtitles

with 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]

(male narrator) A giant replica of a Portuguese man-of-war

floats innocently on the sea's surface.

But inside, it is the lab of an evil scientific genius.

The dread Dr. Lamprey.

[laughs]

My plans are complete.

'Now to drop the remote relay'

'and begin operation robot unlimited.'

[Lamprey laughing]

[theme music]

Aquaman and Aqualad. Perfect.

Now, the remote relay will detect them

and kick off their doom.

[beeping]

[gasps]

[buzzing]

Holy houndfish, Aquaman! Look!

Robot swordfish.

Dive, Aqualad! Fast.

neigh

Those two marine marvels will be taken care of

by my robot beauties.

[laughing]

Now, I can move on to Atlantis

which is gem of the oceans.

[laughing]

[buzzing]

Those robots are catching up.

Hop off, Tadpole. We'll meet up head on.

[buzzing continues]

(male narrator) Faster and faster swims Aquaman

in a tight circle

as the robot menace tries to overtake him.

[music continues]

kaboom

Now, where's Aqualad?

Sufferin' shellfish!

It's tryin' to wreck me up on the razor coral.

Its eyes, minnow. Cover the eyes.

Yeah, maybe that's the key.

Soarin' sailfish! We're headin' for that cliff.

Get off, Aqualad. Fast!

kaboom

Wow! That was too close.

Nice work, minnow.

(Aquaman) Come on, team.

Let's go find the source of those robots.

Now, for part two of operation robots unlimited.

[chuckles]

[water gurgling]

(male narrator) Now, riding out from Atlantis, comes fair-haired Mera.

Oh! Isn't it beautiful?

[barking]

Shush, Tusky. What's the matter with you?

[barking]

(male narrator) Now, as the impetuous girl touches the giant replica..

Good grief!

A whole armada of robot fish!

[barking]

Quick, Tusky. Let's get out of here.

Ha-ha! Perfect.

She's leading them right toward Atlantis.

Once in range, the remote relay will take over and..

[laughs] Kaboom! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

[barking]

Leapin' ladyfish.

'More robots.'

And Mera is leading them right at Atlantis.

'We need help to turn them away.'

[dramatic music]

(male narrator) Now, metal dolphin meets real dolphin.

Robot hammer-head hits living shark.

Metallic manta slams flesh-and-blood ray

in a battle royal.

Give it to 'em, troops.

Come on, tadpole. Let's join the fight.

[music continues]

kaboom

We're not stoppin' 'em.

They're getting closer to Atlantis.

Great whales! It's Dr. Lamprey.

'He is controlling them from his man-of-war.'

- How can we penetrate that? - We can't.

But maybe I can stop him from sending commands from it.

(male narrator) Now, in response to Aquaman's summons

a group of torpedo rays

surround Dr. Lamprey's floating lab

and bombard it with a band of electricity.

[laughing] You won't jam my robot controller that way.

'Because it's not even here.'

Now, my big guns.

It's not working.

The control is not in Lamprey's lab.

It could be anywhere in the seven seas.

Check, sardine. I've got to stop that.

Aquaman, look!

Torpedo fish.

(Aquaman) 'Come on. The troops need us.'

You help the fish, I'll handle those babies.

kaboom

[whooshing]

Gotcha! If one of those hits Atlantis, it's goodbye dome.

(male narrator) Now, the sea king creates a wall of hard water

and sends it rolling ahead.

That didn't stop all of them either.

Watch out, Aquaman!

Stay away, Aqualad.

swoosh

Didn't work. What will I do now?

[beeping]

Got no choice. Must chance it.

[intense music]

kaboom

What caused the robot fish to wreck themselves?

(Aquaman) There's the answer, tadpole.

Good old Tusky found the controller

for those robots, and clobbered it.

(Aqualad) 'Tusky, you're a hero!'

(Aquaman) 'Look, Dr. Lamprey's had enough.'

'His robot raiders are so much junk now.'

There's Mera.

Come on, you big beautiful thing.

Come on, Mera. It's no use.

That thing's bigger than all of us.

[both laughing]

(male narrator) In just a moment, we'll return with another exciting adventure

featuring a guest star

from the galaxy of super-super heroes.

[theme music]

(male narrator) Carter Hall, scientific genius from a far off world

flies into action as Hawkman, winged wonder

with Skreal, his faithful fighting mascot

with his arsenal of phenomenal powers

against all earthly and inter-planetary forces.

Hawkman, the winged avenger.

[theme music]

(male narrator) Plummeting down out of space, a strange craft appears

in the night sky, over Earth.

Banish us from Jupiter, will they, eh?

Well, we'll show them, eh, Den-O?

Affirmative. Ready dimension ray.

Fire!

zap

(male narrator) At that moment, Skreal, Hawkman's pet bird

sits atop the Magnus building.

Midway city's tallest skyscraper. Suddenly..

screech

[theme music]

That should shake up the Earth people, eh, Den-O, eh?

Yes, Rap-O. Now, we can make them our slaves.

(male narrator) Moments later in a space lab on the outskirts of the city

where he is known as scientist, Carter Hall

Hawkman receives an unexpected visitor.

Skreal! You know better than to come here.

(man on radio) 'Hawkman. Calling Hawkman.'

Police radio.

'We're being attacked from outer space.'

So that's what you were trying to tell me, eh, Skreal?

To the Hawkship, Skreal.

Let's go!

(male narrator) Rocketing up into the atmosphere

the winged avenger and his bird ally

enter the Hawkship and take off in search of invaders.

It's Hawkman, Rap-O. He's coming for us.

Hawkman, eh?

Send him out of this world with the dimension ray, eh, Den-O?

Ready. Fire!

[zapping]

(male narrator) Struck by the evil pranksters' dimension ray

space itself shatters around Hawkman's ship.

Then, the energy of particles converge, and Hawkman is..

Gone! Ha-ha.

Into dimension 23 with our other enemies, eh?

No one now can stop us from ruling Earth.

[laughing]

[crackling]

Great galaxies! Where are we?

Maybe the Radiotron can tell us.

(automated voice) 'Location, Dimension 23. Danger! Danger!'

Dimension 23? Come on, Skreal. Let's have a look.

(male narrator) Stepping down, Hawkman's foot energizes the crystal surface.

And in a split second, he is surrounded

by living electricity.

The proton people of Dimension 23.

- Invaders! Invaders! - Invaders! Invaders!

zap

Stay out of their range, Skreal.

They can't break contact with the crystal surface

so they can't reach us here.

zap zap

[intense music]

[screeching]

zap

[crackling]

(male narrator) Meanwhile, back on the world in our dimension..

People of Earth, you are now the slaves of Den-O..

And Rap-O, from Jupiter.

You have seen what we have done with your skyscraper.

And your Hawkman, eh?

Both sent to Dimension 23.

'From which there is no return, ever.'

From now on, you will do our bidding, eh?

What're we going to do?

I'm afraid, gentleman, we're at their mercy.

[crackling]

Who, who are you?

We are from Jupiter.

Sent here by Den-O and Rap-O as you were.

But, why? How?

They are evil pranksters banished from our planet.

We were transporting them to our prison asteroid

when they overpowered us.

Turned our own dimension ray on us.

Then made off with our ship.

We better get out of here.

Maybe my electroclaw can..

zap

[grunts]

- You cannot escape. - You must be destroyed.

[music continues]

Skreal! He can help.

- Death to the invaders! - Death to the invaders!

Skreal, bring the lightning rod from the Hawkship. Hurry!

[crackling continues]

- There is little time left. - We are doomed.

If this crazy dimension responds to basic physics

and if Skreal gets here in..

Here he comes.

'Drop the rod, Skreal. Now!'

boing

[crackling]

(Hawkman) 'It worked!'

The proton people are trapped in a lightning rod.

Come on. To my ship.

[dramatic music]

screech

You two see if you can convert my tracer to your dimension ray!

Can do, Hawkman. We reverse its polarity.

Then test it on the Earth building.

Great. Wait for the blast-off.

whoosh

zap zap zap

Hawkman! He's come back.

Quick, Den-O. Fire the green cloud, eh? He'll never see us.

(male narrator) Using the magno-power of his radar eyes

Hawkman penetrates the green fog.

And torpedoing directly to them

blasts the Hawkship out of their trap

with electromagnetic power.

What do we do now, Den-O, eh?

Quick, activate the dimension ray. Then let's get out of here.

[zapping]

zap zap

Let's singe their wings, Din-O, eh?

boom

screech

First to make them release Skreal with my repeller ray.

zap

Now, into the dimension ray with you, scoundrels!

No, not that, not that, no!

[crackling]

Safe journey back to Jupiter, captain. Good luck!

Thank you, Hawkman, for everything.

Okay, Skreal, next dimension..

...Midway city. Hold.

(male narrator) Coming up next, more action-packed adventures

with Aquaman, king of the seven seas

featuring Aqualad and Tusky the walrus.

[instrumental music]

[neighing]

(male narrator) Not far from Atlantis, five strange undersea crafts

ply to a silent stop.

Commanding the Portilla

is the villainous mermaid, Queen Vassa.

Attention, all mermen.

Ship number three will remain here on guard.

All others will activate laser beam drills

and tunnel up into Atlantis...now!

[whirring]

[Vassa laughing]

Even the brilliant Aquaman will not expect an attack

from beneath the city.

(male narrator) As Vassa's ship tunnel toward Atlantis

the Aquateam and Mera are inside the dome city

visiting the minister of defense.

You say that Obelisk is the key

to your new defense warning system?

- That's right, Aquaman. - How does it work?

It's simple, Aqualad.

When there's danger, the crystal ball flashes.

Buzzin' barracuda! It's flashing now.

(Mera) 'Good grief!'

Aquaman, look!

A geyser of water!

(Aqualad) 'And there's another one. And another.'

(Aquaman) Sir, order your people to the rooftops at once.

That goes for you too, Mera.

Come on, tadpole. To the Aquacave.

Look, Aquaman. Unidentified submarine.

Southeast. Let's ride.

[theme music]

[neighing]

[barking]

(merman 1) 'Number three to number one. Aquaman approaching fast.'

(Vassa on phone) 'Use your laser beam drill. Attack and destroy. Over!'

(Aqualad) Could that be one of Queen Vassa's

new ships, Aquaman?

(Aquaman) 'Must be.'

(Aqualad) 'Look! Look, what's that?'

It's trouble. Scatter.

crash

[beeping]

[whirring]

bam

[whirring]

boom

Mermen! Let's go get 'em.

Later, minnow.

First, we've got to save Atlantis.

(male 1) The flood is rising rapidly.

Soon our rooftops will be under water.

Darn it! I want to see what Aquaman's doing.

No, Mera, no!

Hold it, Aqualad.

Holy haddock! Another one.

(Aquaman) 'And more.'

Four ships. Yipes!

(Aquaman) Separate, fast!

[squealing]

[barking]

boom boom boom

boom

Leapin' lungfish!

Look alive, now.

That Atlantian girl, Mera is directly below our ship.

'Capture her with the Vassian vortex.'

[whirring]

Help! Aquaman!

Yes, I know, Tusky. Vassa is in that ship.

Someone else?

Mera?

Aquaman is down there. Quick, get him!

[whirring]

(male narrator) Trapped in the powerful Vassian vortex

which draws him upward toward the open hatch

the sea king exerts his great strength.

Slowly every muscle strained almost to bursting.

Aquaman momentarily stops the vortex.

Then causes it to reverse itself

with ever increasing speed.

It's spinning backwards!

(merman 2) 'Incredible.'

boom

Burned out!

Must get out of here.

Vassa's leaving. Gotta get Mera.

'Great whales! Aqualad's surrounded.'

With its steering rudder gone, it'll keep going forever.

boom

Let's get the others.

[dramatic music]

boom

Aquaman! Help!

A direct hit on the rudder should turn the trick.

swish

Uh-oh! It turned it toward me!

What luck!

Aquaman turned the ship toward himself.

No, he'll be killed!

Out of my way!

click

[whirring]

boom

You'll pay for this, you little water-witch!

'Chain her to the bulk-head.'

Now, I will personally destroy Aquaman!

'Activate the laser beam drill.'

Okay, we meet. Come and get me!

[whirring]

She bored her way in. Now, she'll bore her way out.

crash

[dramatic music]

- Ah! - Greetings, Your Majesty.

Aquaman?

You'll get more of the same if you don't release Mera at once!

Oh, Aquaman! Am I glad to see you.

I demand justice.

You'll get it, queeny. In Atlantis.

What are the giant rays for, Aquaman?

(Aquaman) 'To plug up the holes temporarily'

and stop the flood in Atlantis.

(minister) Aquaman, you've stopped the floods.

Yes. And here's your culprit, sir.

Her Royal Highness, Queen Vassa.

You are a vile woman, Vassa.

And you shall be severely punished.

The first part of their punishment

'is to help pump Atlantis dry.'

What a beautiful picture.

(Aquaman) 'And only fair too.'
