[male narrator] "Super Friends, The Legendary Super Powers Show."

We now return to the "Super Friends."

[dramatic music]

[male narrator] In the outer reaches of the galaxy

a solar storm plunges the planet Cromalon

into disaster.

Rumble rumble

And an urgent plea for aid, goes out to the Super Friends.

A seismic chain reaction is gathering force.

Unless our planet's orbit is changed

all of Cromalon is doomed.

Time is running out, Superman.

We'll come at once, Rethgar.

Batman, Wonder Woman, Black Vulcan and Green Lantern

we must leave for Cromalon at once!

This bubble will protect us in space.

Good idea, Green Lantern.

Hey, wait a minute, Superman, you're forgetting us.

[chattering]

This mission may be too dangerous

for you junior members.

I'm leaving you in charge of the Hall of Justice.

But, but--

Unless you feel a responsibility

might be too much for you.

- Oh, no, it'll be a cinch. - A snap.

You can count on us.

Good. Let's go.

Uh, some people get all the excitement.

Look on the bright side, Ronald

now you'll have time to catch up on your studies.

Like your physics test?

Please, don't remind me.

[male narrator] Unknown to Firestorm

he and the other young Super Friends

are about to face a much more difficult test

at the end of Lex Luthor.

There, my contractor ray is finished.

I must try it out.

[zapping]

Excellent. Now to cut those big shot Super Friends

down to size.

Next stop, Metropolis.

[dramatic music]

[Jayna] This is unbelievable

Superman is stabilizing Cromalon's orbit.

And the other Super Friends are saving the cities.

And as you can see, Einstein's formula makes it easy

to convert energy to mass.

Uh, are you following this, Ronald?

Huh? Oh, oh, sure, go on, professor.

Beep beep

The security alarm? What's happening?

That's what we're about to find out, professor.

Holy abalone, it's like a flying stingray.

Lex Luthor?

Come on, Ron, your studies

are going to have to wait.

I never thought I'd ever be grateful to see Luthor.

[chattering]

He's got some nerve coming here. Come on, Super Friends.

[clamoring]

I've waited a long time for this moment.

[zapping]

Okay, Luthor. What's the big idea?

Holy colossus.

[laughter]

Luthor's turned into a giant.

No, worse, I think we've gotten smaller.

Holy munchkins.

[laughter]

He's trying to steal the Hall of Justice.

Hands off, Luthor.

[laughter]

Yikes!

An amusing attempt, you little yo-yo.

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

Form of a storm cloud.

Shape of a condor.

We have to save Robin.

What? Can't see.

Gotcha.

You expect one puny cloud puff to stop me?

- Wonder Twin powers deactivate! - Wonder Twin powers deactivate!

Whew! I think this problem is over our heads.

It's up to us, professor.

Zap

Hold it right there, Luthor.

Are you speaking to me, firefly?

[zapping]

Splash

Yike!

- Whoa! - Whoa!

[laughter] So long, squirts.

Hold on, Super Friends.

Holy weapons, an ice raft.

Hang on tight.

[Jayna] Look, we've emptied into the ocean.

[Zan] We have to find a way to follow Luthor.

[Firestorm] That driftwood will do.

Zap

All aboard that's going aboard.

[dramatic music]

The perfect operation and the perfect getaway.

Sometimes, I even amaze myself.

[Robin] We're getting up to him.

Splash

Uh-oh. We lost him.

I only wish I could see their faces

when the rest of the Super Friends

find a vacant lot where the Hall of Justice

used to be.

[laughter]

[chattering]

[device beeping]

Holy popup, that must be Luthor's lair.

Vroom

[device beeping]

Yow!

Ah, a stowaway.

I know just the place for you.

I don't mind doubling up.

[screeching]

[chuckling]

[laughter]

We've made it inside Luthor's lab.

We've got to get our hands on Luthor's contractor ray.

What's that noise?

Uh-oh, I think we've been found out.

I see that I underestimated you.

From now on will be impossible.

[zapping]

Goodbye, pest.

You won't be bugging me much longer.

[growling]

Holy arachnids.

[laughter] To really appreciate this

I must get my magnifying glass.

If I could get past those spiders

I could enter the contractor ray and rearrange its circuitry

to bring us back to normal size.

Leave a spider to us, Firestorm.

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

Form of a sheet of ice!

Shape of a butterfly!

This is one meal I don't think you can pass up.

[growling]

Good work, Jayna.

I think I'm going to need your expertise on this, professor.

I'm right here, Ronald.

I can practically hear

your stomachs growling.

The spiders on ice, what a show.

It's all up to Firestorm.

Now, Ronald, fuse those two circuits together

and I think we're done.

Okay, professor.

Bang

Hurry, the ray set in reverse.

It's timed to go off in one second.

[zapping]

What? It can't be.

[grunting]

This day is full of surprises, Luthor.

We have to bring back the Hall of Justice

and return it to normal size.

That's not the only thing. Look.

[growling]

[chattering]

[male narrator] Later in Metropolis.

[zapping]

[sighs] Looks like we made it just in time.

Welcome home, Superman. Ahem.

How did things go on at Cromalon?

The mission was difficult but a complete success.

Cromalon is saved.

And did anything unusual happen while we were gone?

Well, nothing really big.

In fact we even have time to get you

a welcome home present.

You can't treat me like this. I'm Lex Luthor.

I'll get you for this.

Wait till next time.

[male narrator] We now continue with the "Super Friends."

[dramatic music]

[male narrator] Here inside the Metropolis' Savings Bank

the infamous robber Baron and his henchman Sleeves

are making a large illegal withdrawal.

And now, Mr. Manager, kindly direct me to the button

that opens the safe.

Over there.

[music continues]

You'll never get away with this, Robber Baron.

And who, pray tell, is going to stop me?

Will we do for starters?

Uh, come, Sleeves, let us depart.

Very astute, sir.

Don't worry, boy wonder, I, Captain Mystery will stop them.

Whoa!

Give up, Baron, my instant oil spill

will slip you up

if I can get it to work.

Whoa!

- Oh! - Oh!

Crash

Home, Sleeves.

Not so fast, Baron.

[coughs]

Hey, wait!

[coughs]

Thank goodness, it's Firestorm.

Firestorm, follow me.

The Baron is getting away.

I didn't catch your name, pal.

Mystery. Captain Mystery.

So, the Super Friends have a new member.

Perhaps he is the weak link I've been looking for.

The one that would allow me to destroy the Super Friends

once and for all.

[laughter]

There's the Baron.

So long, buddy.

So long?

But I wanna help.

Crash

A rather rewarding afternoon, eh, Sleeves?

No one will catch us now.

This turbo charged limo really flies.

[Firestorm] It sure does.

Especially with your new tires.

Zap

I said put us down.

Sure, Baron, as soon as we get to the police headquarters.

Nice working with you, Firestorm.

Let's do it again real soon.

Boink boink

I am convinced this Captain Mystery

is the Super Friends Achilles' heel.

I'll follow him on my sky-spy screen.

[Captain Mystery] Whoa!

meow

Gee, being a super hero is more exciting

than I ever dreamed.

[Luthor] Huh, I can't track him in the subway

but there's always a next time.

[Superman] So who is this Captain Mystery?

And what does he want?

He told me he wants to help the Super Friends.

Holy liniment, Batman, he's helped too much already.

I agree, Captain Mystery could become a real problem.

Let's try to detain him the next time he appears

then we can find out who Captain Mystery is

and what he's up to.

[male narrator] Later Firestorm in his secret identity as Ronald Raymond

heads for the high school library.

Sometimes it's easier catching crooks

than catching up on my studies.

[instrumental music]

Oh, look out.

Oh, sorry, Ronnie, I guess I checked out

too many computer manuals.

Nah, that's okay, Sidney, I just wish your computer

was taking my geometry test tomorrow.

Well, you're welcome to look at my notes.

- Just stop by the house. - Thanks. Maybe I will.

There, I've patched into the Super Friends' computer again.

Calling all Super Friends. Calling all Super Friends.

The metropolis dam is about to burst.

We need your help.

I'm on my way, mayor.

Uh-oh.

This looks like a job for...

...Captain Mystery.

Sidney's notes have to be in better shape than mine.

I hope he's home.

No, it can't be.

Yes, it can.

Oh, Captain Mystery is Sidney Wanamaker.

Whew! I got here just in time.

Now to patch this leak.

Need any help, Superman?

Captain Mystery, I presume. Don't go away.

Whatever you say, Superman.

[crackle]

Whoa!

Great Scott.

Leave him to me, Superman.

Darn, anti-gravity belt.

Gotcha.

Well, if it isn't Captain Mystery.

Alias Sidney Wanamaker.

Hey! How did you know my secret identity?

You're not as mysterious as you might think.

Holy pilferage, Batman

this looks just like the anti gravity belt

we've been working on.

Oh, oh, you see, I sort of borrowed the design

from the Super Friends' computer.

So that's how you know where we're going to be.

Gee, don't be mad, I've always wanted to be a Super Friend.

Besides I tapped into your computer by accident.

Being a Super Friend involves great dangers.

We must ask you for your own sake, Sidney

to hang up your cape.

If that's the way you guys feel, I guess I have no choice.

Thanks for the lift home, Firestorm.

It was on my way.

So this is the disk with the Super Friends'

secret computer code.

Don't worry, I promise to destroy it.

Not before I get my hands on it.

[laughter]

Hmm, great geometry notes.

So that's how you solve that problem.

- What? - Oh, never mind.

I better be going.

Oh, I've got a long night of studying ahead.

[sighs] I promised the Super Friends I'd destroyed this disk.

[Luthor] Not so fast, Captain Mystery.

[Sidney] Lex Luthor.

I've been trying to break

the Super Friends' codes for years.

Now, you save me the trouble.

Help!

Zap

[Luthor] Save your breath

by the time my soundproof energy aura wears off

I'll be long gone.

And thanks to you

so will the Super Friends.

[laughter]

Yeah, I did it.

I pass my geometry test.

Congratulations.

[alarm beeping]

It's a priority code alerts.

"Supertanker sinking fast

with 500,000 gallons of crude aboard."

Holy oil spill, we've got to keep that ship afloat.

[grunts] I'm free.

Got to warn the Super Friends about Luthor.

Oh, my gosh, they're responding to a priority code S-O-S.

It could be a trap.

[male narrator] Meanwhile on the sinking supertanker.

Hey, Superman, where's the crew?

My X-ray vision shows there's no one below.

[Luthor] There is now.

[all screaming]

[Luthor laughing]

That noise, I can't think.

Can't concentrate.

Superman, it's up to you.

No use, these walls are lined with Kryptonite.

[Luthor] Pardon the accommodations, Super Friends

but you won't be staying long.

You're going down with the ship.

[laughing]

Alright, Luthor, what have you done with the Super Friends?

Well, if it isn't Captain Mystery.

Don't you know when to quit?

Zap

Got to jam Luthor's copter computer.

Oops, that's my garage door opener.

[instrumental music]

Trapdoor's opened.

Hera, help me.

Must start the Whirly-Bat by remote control.

[whirring]

[Luthor] Getting tired, Captain Mystery?

Now, this has to be my frequency jammer.

Oh, no.

Zap

[screaming]

So long, Captain Mystery

you'll be joining your friends

in Davy Jones locker.

Not quite, Luthor.

Super Friends!

Zap

What?

Splash

I don't understand.

My trap was foolproof.

But not klutz-proof.

Are you alright, Captain Mystery?

Uh, yeah, but I see what you mean

about being a Super Friend.

I think I'll just stick to my computers.

That's where my talent lies.

- Want a lift home? - No thanks.

I should have just enough power to get back.

[crackles]

[screaming]

Splash

[coughs] On second thought maybe I'll take that lift after all.
