[theme music]

[male narrator] In the infinite vastness of outer space, a giant meteor

hurtles toward an unsuspecting Earth.

Satellite scanners have picked up a meteor, Superman.

Whirr

It's headed straight for Metropolis.

At its present course and size

it could destroy the entire city.

Swoosh

vroom

[male narrator] Seconds later, as Superman and Batman

approach at incredible speed, a strange warp opens up

in the space before them.

Superman, my sensors are going wild.

There's something out there.

I see it, Batman.

Great Scott, it's a warp into another universe.

Quick, Batman. Hit your reverse engine.

It's no good, we've got too much momentum.

We're going in.

[male narrator] As the giant meteor speeds toward a collision course

with Metropolis, Superman and Batman

are about to find themselves confronting

an even deadlier challenge...

...in a strange parallel universe.

Swoosh

I don't know where we are, but we've got to get back

to Earth or Metropolis is doomed!

We may never get back, Superman.

The space warp we just came through has disappeared.

Octoman, Superfrog, look.

Hall of Zoon monitor has picked up intruders in our universe.

[croaking] Hurry, we must intercept them

before they can conquer our world

as others have tried.

[dramatic music]

Swoosh

[male narrator] As the giant meteor continues to speed toward the Earth

Superman and Batman search for the key

back to their own universe.

There's no trace of the warp, Batman.

Our only hope is to contact someone from this world

and see if they know another way back.

It looks like we've already been contacted, Superman.

[whirring]

I can't pull free!

Octoman to Super Zoons

I've secured the alien vessel.

And you'd better unsecure it.

Unless you want me to wrap you in the ship

like a sardine in a can.

Bold words, alien, but no threat to me!

You're definitely strong.

But let's see how fast you are.

[whirring]

Thud

Now we'll see just how strong you really are.

Whatever you say, but first, how about a dose of heat vision?

Pew

My super powers must be affected by this strange universe.

I can't break free.

Of course not, alien.

No one is stronger than Superfrog.

Superfrog?

The bat-stunner will loosen his grip.

Zap

bam bam

Hippohulk take you back to Planet Zoon.

[male narrator] Later, at the Hall of Zoon...

You don't understand, we have no intention of harming anyone.

He's telling the truth. We came into this universe by accident.

And if we don't get back within a few minutes

thousands of our own kind may be destroyed.

Your primitive human minds make up incredible tales.

But in a few moments, you will be super-animals like us.

These bars must be of a kryptonite alloy.

I can't break free.

Great Scott! I'm changing into an eagle.

And I'm turning into a real bat.

Yes, and in a very short time, your minds will change

to match your exteriors and you will be Super Zoons.

We've got to figure a way to escape, Batman.

There may be a way, Superman.

My Bat-rocket remote control is our only hope.

[pulsating]

Whirr whirr

vroom

zap

We're being attacked. The aliens must have reinforcements.

[zapping]

Hurry, Batman, we've got to find that space warp.

They mustn't get away.

Zap

[dramatic music]

Vroom

[whooshing]

Faster, Batman, they're gaining on us.

We're almost at light speed, Superman.

That's it, Batman, when we were racing to the meteor

we must have passed the speed of light!

Yes, that's how we saw the warp.

And it disappeared as soon as we slowed back to sub-light.

290,000 kilometers per second and climbing.

The fools think they can outrun us.

[whooshing]

295,000!

300,000.

swoosh

boom

There it is!

Hurry, before they escape to their own universe.

It's too late, the aliens are gone.

[male narrator] Seconds later, back in our own universe...

We're in luck, Batman.

The meteor hasn't collided with Metropolis yet.

There's no time to reach it.

But a synchronized Bat-laser

and heat vision blast should destroy it.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

- Look! A meteor! - Aah! Look out!

[screaming]

[Batman] ...three, two, one.

Fire!

Whizz whizz

[whooshing]

Boom

We did it, Superman!

And we're transforming back to normal.

Being in our own universe must have

destabilized the molecular change.

[Batman] Too bad, Superman. As an eagle, you would've looked good.

Cute, Batman. Let's see if you're as fast as you are funny.

[whooshing]

[theme music]

[male narrator] As Metropolis slumbers peacefully

the Super Friends and Wonder Twins

plan for the busy day that lies ahead.

Tomorrow, the entire Justice League will be meeting here

at the Hall of Justice.

If the Legion of Doom is going to strike

they'll strike tomorrow.

Jayna, you and Zan will be in charge of security.

No problem, Wonder Woman.

Old super-mouth and I will take our usual positions

on the rooftop.

Anyone who tries any funny business

will have to deal with our Exxor powers.

[male narrator] Later that evening, as the Wonder Twins sleep...

[Gleek snoring]

[sniffing]

[babbling]

[muffled chatter]

[male narrator] Miles away, on the outskirts of Metropolis...

Well done, Giganta, with that inferior simian behind bars

we can proceed with our plans.

[Giganta] That android duplicate oblique was a brilliant idea, Grodd.

Of course it was brilliant.

As the smartest gorilla in the world

I am incapable of anything else.

[evil laughter]

[chattering]

Now for a short test.

Beep

zap

Perfect! He should have no trouble carrying out our plan.

Yes, when the Super Friends meet at the Hall of Justice tomorrow

it will be for their funeral.

[evil laughter]

[instrumental music]

The Justice League members are arriving right on schedule.

Here's Flash and the Hulkman now.

And here comes Superman and Black Vulcan.

Yeah, but I wonder where Gleek is.

He's been gone all night.

[Gleek-lookalike chattering]

Oh, gee, I was only kidding, Gleek. No need to be sore.

Crunch

[laughs]

That's not our Gleek.

It's some kind of android imposter.

A little further, Jayna.

We've got to Exxor change and warn the Super Friends.

[Wonder Woman] As you know, this meeting was arranged

with the strictest of security.

because of the inherent danger of us all meeting in one place.

We didn't want to take any chances.

We've taken every precaution.

You can all rest assured that nothing will happen.

[chattering]

Gleek, what are you doing here?

It's a trap, look out!

Zap

Superman, no!

[zapping]

[intense music]

Ha! So much for the Super Friends flawless security.

Come on, Zan. We've got to make it!

- Wonder Twin powers, activate! - Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Shape of a pelican!

Form of a waterspout!

[Jayna] Come on, let's find out what that robot Gleek is up to.

[zapping]

[Zan] Jupiters! He's wiping out the Super Friends.

My power ring will take care of the little beast.

[Gleek-lookalike babbles]

[Wonder Woman] Adam, look out!

zap

Zan, Jayna, get out of here!

Zap

I can't believe it!

All the Super Friends, gone!

Enough! Well, well, well.

Grodd, the magnificent, has succeeded

where the entire Legion of Doom had failed!

[laughs] The Hall of Justice will make a nice headquarters for evil.

You won't get away with this, Grodd.

[scoffs] I already have, my little Exxor fools.

"Justice League arsenal. Keep out."

Let's see what sort of weapons we'll have to wreak havoc with.

Didn't anyone ever tell you it pays to read signs?

Wonder Woman! But you're, ah...

Here to take care of you, Grodd.

Swish swish swish

Wonder Woman, look out!

Zap

Your magic bracelets won't stop this.

No, but this will.

Slam

Be nice to him, Giganta, I think he likes you.

[gibberish]

Jayna, quick! That tin-plated Gleek is ready to strike again.

- Wonder Twin powers, activate! - Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Shape of of giant panda!

Form of an ice club!

Smack

Fore!

[groans]

[Zan] Crumbling craters! We thought you guys were disintegrated.

That's just what you were supposed think, Zan.

The whole thing was a trap from the start.

We knew if we announced the meeting

of all the Super Friends someone would be

foolish enough to try something.'

The Super Friends that Android Gleek zapped

were androids just like him.

Oh, you guys never fooled me for a minute

I was on to the whole plan all along.

[babbling]

Oh, no! He's back! Look out for those killer eyes!

Hah! Yeah. They're killers alright.

[chuckles]

[babbles]

[theme music]

[rain pattering]

[male narrator] As Metropolis is pounded by a heavy storm

a strange occurrence is about to take place

at the Maurer Animation Studio.

[keys clacking]

Jeff, it's 11 :30. Don't you think it's time to quit?

I'd love to, Ray, but I've got to get this script done

before the deadline tomorrow.

Suddenly the wall explodes with a fiery blast.

Then, a hulking creature steps out, raging with fury.

He is Bulgor the Behemoth.

Hm, little over-dramatic, but it'll have to do.

[thunderclap]

[crackling]

Hey! What's wrong with this typewriter?

I've got to finish Bulgor...

Bulgor.

Bulgor!

Bulgor!

Bulgor!

Bulgor, destroy!

Pow

screech

What on Earth is that?

[grunts]

[man screams]

Bulgor the Behemoth, strongest creature in world!

It looks like we have some work to do, Apache Chief.

That name "Bulgor," it sounds familiar.

You'll have to worry about that later.

We've got to stop the beast.

[dramatic music]

[Bulgor grunts]

Help me!

[woman screams]

Thanks, Superman. I didn't think I was gonna survive that one.

Metropolis can't afford to lose any of its trusted firemen.

Next time leave the monsters to the Super Friends.

No one strong as Bulgor.

If that's what you think, I take it we've never been introduced.

The name's Superman. Can't say I'm glad to know you.

[grunts]

Bulgor destroy flying man!

We see who's strongest now.

[Bulgor grunts]

Thud

I've never seen anything like it.

That creature's as strong as I am.

Maybe stronger.

[grunts]

[car crashes]

You may be big as a house

but Apache Chief will soon be as big as a mountain.

Inuk chuk!

[male narrator] Using his ancient Indian powers, Apache Chief

grows to a towering 50 feet tall.

Now perhaps you'd like to Indian-wrestle with me.

Bulgor stop giant man!

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts] Such strength is beyond the power of my Indian magic.

Bulgor must go now.

Destroy secret base.

We must search for a way to stop that creature.

If we follow his trail of destruction back to it's source

we may be able to learn more about him.

[male narrator] Later, as Superman and Apache Chief arrive

at the deserted animation studio...

He must've come from somewhere within this building.

Whatever happened to create that monster

it must've taken place right here.

Great Grey Eagles!

Now I understand why the creature's name

was so familiar to me.

Bulgor the Behemoth is a television character.

Whoever was writing this script must have been struck

by the storm's lightning.

Then somehow, mysteriously transformed

into the very creature he was creating.

According to this story, Bulgor fled to the desert

where he wiped out an army base.

That must be where he was going when he left me.

He's unconsciously acting out his own story.

We've got to stop him before it's too late.

[male narrator] Miles away, at a secret desert military base...

[grunts]

Where are soldiers?

Bulgor must destroy soldiers!

Click

clang

We've been expecting you.

[grunts]

Bulgor crush tank!

[grunts]

[grunts]

I'll take those.

[Bulgor grunts]

Snap

[Bulgor grunts]

Inuk chuk!

Well, my little monster

you're trapped like an animal now.

No one trap Bulgor!

It's no use, Superman.

Nothing we do affects the creature.

Don't give up yet, Apache Chief.

We've still got one slim chance.

According to that Bulgor script, there was one thing

that could stop him.

The colored light from a prism.

It's worth a try.

[male narrator] Flying to a nearby desert dune, Superman uses his heat vision

to turn a handful of sand into a crystal prism.

[Bulgor grunts]

Pow

Flying man not learn lesson!

Zap

[grunts]

I don't understand. It had no effect.

I'm not surprised, Superman.

The monster you tried to stop is a fictitious character.

That's just an ordinary man out there

who thinks he's a monster.

There's only one way to stop him.

Apache Chief, no!

You there, listen to me.

Bulgor not listen, Bulgor crush.

You are not Bulgor, you only think you are.

- Me, Bulgor! - No.

You are a writer, you were creating an image in your mind

before the lightning struck, remember that image!

Bulgor see monster, monster with pearl skin!

Me... me not monster.

I, I created monster.

All, all in my mind.

Thank you, Super Friends.

I couldn't control myself.

That lightning must have made pictures in my mind run wild.

I suggest you take a good vacation.

The Super Friends have enough danger to handle

without your imagination creating any more.
