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]

From an undersea Sulphur pit, traditional dividing line

between the lands of the Tortoids

and the Lizard Men, appears a silver sphere.

What is this?

I do not know.

Look. It-it is magic.

And since it rolled on to the land of the Tortoids

it belongs to us.

No! I saw it first!

Therefore it belongs to the Lizard Men!

[buzzing]

They have injured one of us.

Summon the army!

Attack!

[buzzing]

[theme music]

(male narrator) Within moments, Aquaman, ruler of the seas

and his young companion, Aqualad

streak to the scene of battle.

Bumblin' blowfish, Aquaman.

Looks like a full scale war.

Yes. We've got to put a stop to it in a hurry.

[zapping]

bam bam

bam

[clapping]

Tell your people to cut this out.

Right now!

Tortoids, ceasefire.

Ceasefire.

Now, what's all this fighting about?

'The silver sphere, Aquaman.'

The silver sphere.

The only one who shall possess the magic sphere

is the Black Manta. Ha-ha-ha!

I suggest a peaceful competition to determine possession

of this sphere.

Each of you select your best athlete

to compete in a series of events.

The winner to have possession of the sphere for one year.

Whoever wins three consecutive years will gain

'permanent possession.'

The Tortoids agree.

The Lizard people agree too.

So shall it be.

Get ready for the games.

Excellent.

Now, all I'll need is a diversion

to steal the sphere from those stupid fools.

Ah-ha! Ha-ha.

'Aqualad. He shall be my diversion.'

Good luck to you both. May the best man win.

Aqualad, behind you!

[buzzing]

Manta Men.

[dramatic music]

- What happened? - He was hurt saving my life.

'So I'll represent the Tortoids..'

...if they'll have me.

(all) Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, let the games begin.

"The first event, a speed slalom

through the giant cacti."

[instrumental music]

(Lizard Man 1) 'Help.'

Ha! Just as I planned. Goodbye!

So that's the way they play, huh?

More bad news, tadpole.

The sphere was stolen by Black Manta.

Leapin' lampreys!

- What-- - Shh!

Go on with the games.

I am going after that scoundrel.

Now, watch what it does.

[dramatic music]

[zapping]

[laughing]

(Black Manta) 'Trapped...like a sardine in a can.'

'Got him. Ha-ha-ha!'

(male narrator) Meanwhile, at the scene of the games..

[all cheering]

Enough! You win!

- No tricks this time? - No, no. You win.

Stop! The silver sphere has been stolen!

I believe Aquaman has taken it for Atlantis.

No, no. It was stolen by Black Manta.

Aquaman's gone to bring it back.

This is very bad, Aqualad.

If he does not return with the sphere

you are doomed.

Watch him. If any fish come in response to his

telepathic command, shoot them.

I'll take care of him when I return.

Can't budge.

Chains embedded in solid rock.

That's it.

Must get the sphere to roll by here.

(male narrator) Telepathically, the Sea King summons a school

of miniscule guppies.

Responding immediately, they swim by the guards unseen

and roll the sphere toward him.

As the rock splits, Aquaman tears free.

Look, he's free!

(male narrator) At this moment, Aqualad, representing the Tortoids

is performing a dangerous feat.

- 'Careful! - 'Don't fall into the Sulphur.'

(all) Yay! Yay!

Our man is in trouble.

[screaming]

Good boy, Tusky.

Look! Aquaman!

With the silver sphere.

Mobilize your men quickly.

The Black Manta is coming for the sphere.

[zapping]

[dramatic music]

[zapping]

[all cheering]

This is yours for one year.

No, Aquaman.

We and the Lizard Men have agreed that we shall share

the silver sphere all the time.

Good, I'm glad.

So am I.

Okay, our work's done here, Tadpole.

Let's go home.

[instrumental music]

(male narrator) In just a moment, we will return

with another exciting adventure

featuring a guest star from the galaxy

of super superhero.

[theme music]

(male narrator) By authority of the mystic Guardians of the Universe

on the far distant Planet Oa

Hal Jordan, test pilot

becomes the Green Lantern.

A cosmic crusader, whose magical power-ring

and his bidding accomplishes the impossible.

In his continuing fight against interplanetary evil.

Green Lantern Guardian of the Galaxies.

[instrumental music]

Planetoid Sargasso.

Grim and forbidding.

A lone stellar mystery that awaits the approach

of unsuspecting space travelers.

Ruled by a beautiful, but vicious queen

who aspires to rule the universe.

Queen Sirena, another fleet draws within range.

Ah, perhaps they shall lure Green Lantern

into my trap. Bring them down.

(male narrator) Instantly from the planetoid surface

weird emanations suddenly swirl out

and smear the passing craft.

[theme music]

Not very far away, a powerful experimental ship from Earth

bursts through atmosphere into outer space.

An apprentice test pilot at its control

accompanied by Kairo

Hal Jordan's Venutian helper.

Ease off, Tom. You're going too far out.

He's going to make first class test pilot, boss.

Sure, Kairo.

Now, I want you to peel off, Tom.

You're too close to the Sargasso Planetoid.

Holy smokes! You're right, Mr. Jordan.

(Kairo) Yeow! We're caught in the Sargasso current.

That weird sound. Can't stand it.

Losing control.

No time to recharge my power-ring.

Gotta get to them fast.

'Let those who worship evil's might'

'beware my power'

Green Lantern's light.

(male narrator) As Green Lantern streaks to the rescue

the young test pilot is ushered before the evil Queen Sirena.

The boy who was with this Earthling escaped us, my queen.

No matter. He can go nowhere.

Now, Green Lantern will surely come for these Earth men.

[dramatic music]

Green Lantern! Over here!

- Kairo, how did you-- - Look.

That's what's been pulling down all the ships.

It won't anymore, Kairo, after a bath in green heat.

[buzzing]

So...at last.

The fish has taken the bait.

Only Green Lantern could destroy

my electronomagno wave apparatus.

Hold tight, Kairo.

This doesn't look like a friendly

welcoming committee.

zap zap zap

(Kairo) Hey, cut that out, you freaks!

Watch me get them to stun themselves.

[screaming]

I shall join Green Lantern myself.

First the magnobeam attune to his brain waves.

[screeching]

Now, my pet, go.

Follow the beam.

[screeching]

Oh!

Yikes!

His power ring! Quickly, get his ring!

We have it, O Queen.

Now, he is powerless.

Lock him up and guard him with your lives.

[dramatic music]

Oh, no! They've taken him prisoner.

Now, my loyal subjects, without Green Lantern

to protect them, the Guardians of the Universe shall fall

before my might.

Stand by to blast off.

War fleet blasted off.

Ay, this means the end

for the mighty Guardians of the Universe.

(male narrator) A short while later on Planet Oa

in the great central hall that houses

the immortal Guardians of the Universe.

Sirena's fleet approaches, and we are helpless.

We must find a way to return Green Lantern's ring to him.

What about the Venutian boy Kairo?

Ah, yes. He's our only hope. I will contact him.

Oh, cut it out, Beepy. This is no time to play.

I gotta find Green Lantern and--

- Kairo. - The Guardian!

Listen, Kairo.

Green Lantern and his ring

are in the top most chamber of the castle.

- Go help him. - Wilco. Over and out.

[dramatic music]

Bad scene. This window's too small for me.

There he is. But how am I going to reach him?

Got it. You can squeeze through, Beepy.

[bird chirping]

Come on, please, i-in there.

'Look, Beepy, through window. Hurry, I'm begging you!'

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

Great work, beastie.

- 'He's escaping!' - 'Sound the alarm!'

Thanks, Kairo, hop aboard.

[buzzing]

Here come more troops, boss.

No time to lose. Got to knock 'em out fast.

(Kairo) 'That's beltin' 'em, boss!'

[grunting]

Now, to wrap 'em up in a tight beam bundle.

[whizzing]

Now, Kairo, you go release all the prisoners

and get back to Earth in the test ship with Tom.

While I go to Oa to intercept Sirena.

Wilco, boss. See you back home.

[intense music]

Green Lantern! He has escaped!

Destroy him quickly!

[crackling]

bash

Blast him with destructo bombs.

[whirring]

boom boom boom

He's wiped them all out.

Now, he.. Aah!

(Green Lantern) You've got a date, O evil queen

with the Guardians of the Universe.

So, the Guardians sentenced Sirena to a long term

of galactic confinement.

Thanks to your quick thinking, Kairo.

Don't forget Beepy here, boss.

Right. Thank you, Beepy.

- Boss, can I-- - 'Sure, Kairo, keep him.'

'I think he'll make us a fine mascot.'

(male narrator) Coming up next..

More action packed adventures with Aquaman

King of the Seven Seas.

Featuring Aqualad and Tusky the Walrus.

[neighs]

(male narrator) Cavorting playfully along the ocean floor

with Imp, Aqualad's sea pony

Tusky the Walrus hides in the coral growth.

Suddenly...the underwater landscape is empty

Tusky has vanished.

Worried, Imp races off to find help.

What's the matter, Imp?

He wants us to follow him, Aqualad.

Come on.

[neighing]

Whoa, Imp! Easy boy!

Something's happened to Tusky.

Fan out and search for him.

[theme music]

- No luck? - No.

Tusky's gone, Aquaman.

Vanished completely.

Maybe the old man of the sea can help us find him. Come on.

There, Minnow, is the home of Oceanus, the Old Man of the Sea.

'He knows everything.'

Sure hope he know where Tusky is.

We'll know in a second.

knock knock knock

What is it you want of Oceanus, Aquaman?

Tusky, our pet walrus has disappeared.

- Can you help us find him? - Aye.

To find your friend

go to where the sea burns.

What does that mean?

I think I know, Minnow. Let's ride.

[dramatic music]

Jumpin' jackfish, Aquaman.

The sea is burning here.

That undersea volcano's what makes

the sea look as if it's on fire.

What would bring Tusky to a place like this?

Don't know, but he must be--

Aquaman, look!

There he is.

'Trapped in that hot lava.'

Great waves.

Mumblin' mantis!

(Aqualad) 'Aquaman, it's a toy replica of Tusky.'

And look who faked us out.

The Fisherman!

[laughing]

The Old Man of the Sea. Why did he tell us--

No time to figure that now, Tadpole.

[laughs] Now, I've got you marine marvels

right where I want you.

Look out, Aqualad!

swoosh

(Aqualad) 'Holy mackerel.'

'The harpoon is pulling the lava back toward us.'

(male narrator) In a twinkling the lava begins to form

a transparent igloo like prison

around the Aqua duo.

We're trapped, Aquaman.

Break out, sardine, hurry.

Ouch! That's hard.

There's a hole on the top, Tadpole.

Quick get through it.

[dramatic music]

This stuff is tough!

Aqualad escaped my lava trap.

But, ha-ha..

...he won't escape this trick harpoon.

Depth charges. Duck, Aqualad. Duck!

boom

Now, to enjoy my revenge

against Aquaman to the last drop.

[laughing]

Aqualad's hurt.

I've got to get fish to help me

out of here fast.

I fooled the Fisherman into thinking he got me.

Let's go, Imp. There's something I've got to do fast.

Blubberin' blowfish.

The Old Man of the Sea is gone.

[barking]

That sounded like Tusky.

Let's go, Imp.

[dramatic music]

Tusky.

And the Old Man of the Sea.

But how?

Uh..

Aqualad, please..

Yes, sir. I'll have you both free in a jiffy.

creak creak

Now, sir, I'll get you free too.

Ah.. No, no.

I shall be alright.

A-Aquaman needs your help...at once.

Oh. Okay, sir.

Remember...a two legged fish

can only be caught

by a two legged bait.

Come on, troops. Hurry!

(Fisherman) Call all the fish allies you want, Sea King.

They'll never get past this harpoon barrage.

(Aqualad) 'Leaping lampreys!'

The fish are being clobbered by those crazy harpoons.

[barking]

What'd the Old Man of the Sea say?

A two legged fish could only be caught

by a two legged bait.

That's it. And I'm it.

You two stay here.

This time you won't get away, sardine.

[music continues]

[grunts]

bash

Thanks, Tusky.

Now to help Aqualad.

[barking]

Aah! I'll finish you!

What?

Stop! Come no closer, Aquaman!

Or I'll blow you up!

Hold it, troops.

Looks as if he's got us stalemated again.

Not really, Tadpole. Look.

thud

[dramatic music]

Great work, team. That wraps him up.

Now we gotta free the Old Man of the Sea.

Check, let's go.

Thank you, Oceanus, for your help.

Sir, when you were tied up with Tusky

who sent us into the Fisherman's trap?

It was the Fisherman himself

my son.

Disguised as me.

And used Tusky as bait to lure us into that trap.

[Tusky barking]

Help! Help!

Okay, Tusky, that's enough.

Yeah, he's gonna get what's coming to him. Soon.

Come on, team, let's head for home.
