NARRATOR: Somewhere out in space live the Herculoids.

[theme music]

Zok, the laser-ray dragon!

Igoo, the giant rock ape!

Tundro, the tremendous!

Gloop and Gleep, the formless, fearless wonders.

With Zandor, their leader...

[screeching]

...and his wife Tara and son Dorno.

[boom]

They team up to protect their planet

from sinister invaders!

[boom]

[bam]

[dramatic music]

[boom]

All-strong. All-brave. All-heroes.

They're the Herculoids.

[theme music]

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

- You know the plan. - Yes, Krokar.

All is ready.

Destroy those who resist.

All others will be slaves.

Krokar, the monkey creatures come.

[chattering]

Prepare to attack.

Take your positions.

[chattering continues]

[dramatic music]

After them.

[squawking]

[intense music]

[clamoring]

[chattering]

Krokar, one got away.

I know. That's part of my plan.

Okay, Igoo. How about breakin' this coconut for me?

DORNO: Hey, not so hard.

[mumbling]

Okay, try it again. But easy.

[cracking]

Good boy, Igoo.

[growling]

Uh- oh. Wherever there's food, there's Tundro.

[growling]

Okay, Tundro, catch.

Nice catch, Tundro.

Here.

[chattering]

[growling]

[chattering continues]

[dramatic music]

[chattering continues]

Tara, it's one of the flying monkeys.

He seems frightened, Zandor.

[chattering]

Our friends, the flying monkeys are in trouble.

- I must help them, Tara. - How about me, dad? May I go?

ZANDOR: No, not now. I'll go on first.

If I need you, I'll send our monkey friend back.

But I can help.

Stay with your mother.

Be careful, Zandor.

Ha-ha! The winged one returns with Zandor.

Prepare to welcome him according to our plan.

BOTH: Yes, Krokar.

Keep a sharp look out, my friend.

Now.

[monkey chattering]

ZANDOR: Look out!

It's a trap.

[chattering]

KROKAR: Welcome, Zandor.

You are the first to meet your planet's new ruler.

- Meaning, who? - Meaning me, Krokar.

For a long time we have been planning this move.

But you had to be disposed of first.

Your friends, the flying monkeys will be our slaves.

[sniggering]

Dorno! Dorno!

What's this? A note from Dorno.

"Mother, Zandor left without his shield and energy rocks.

Zok and I are taking them to him."

Faster, Zok, faster.

If Zandor gets into any trouble he'll need these.

[screeching]

Look, Zok. A double Z.

Zandor's trouble sign.

Go back. Get Igoo and the others

and I'll follow Zandor's trail.

Hurry.

[screeching]

[dramatic music]

I've got to find him.

[monkeys chattering]

Your rule over this planet is finished.

Once you begin your voyage down the dark river,

you will vanish forever.

[squawking]

- Who is coming? Birdman 1 : Someone approaches.

Alert the guards. Capture the intruder.

[dramatic music]

Quiet. Here he comes.

Uh-oh, looks like some of Krokar's birdmen.

I better take cover.

Look! That's Zandor's son.

Pretend we didn't see him. We'll circle and capture him.

They've gone. I'm lucky they didn't see me.

[dramatic music]

I've gotta be more careful.

We will move behind those trees.

Krokar will be pleased when we capture this prize.

[music continues]

[intense music]

DORNO: Hey, let go of me.

So, now we have the son of the great Zandor.

We would keep him for a slave after you have been

put into the river out the bottomless pit.

[dramatic music]

[screeching]

Faster, Tundro. Faster.

[grunting]

KROKAR: Goodbye, Zandor.

With you gone there will be no one to stop me.

[sniggering]

DORNO: Zandor! Zandor!

[screeching]

Others come, Krokar. Mighty animals.

They're our friends, Krokar. You haven't a chance.

Better turn me loose so I can save Zandor.

Never. Attack them. Attack.

[intense music]

[bam bam bam]

[bam bam bam]

[growling]

[swish swish swish]

[thud]

[crash]

Good shot, Igoo.

[birdmen squawking]

Zok!

[squawking continues]

[screeching]

[zap]

[intense music]

I can't break these binds.

[grunting]

[birdman squawking]

Another one.

[boom]

[screeching]

[thud]

[bam]

[groaning]

Thanks, Gloop.

I've got to get loose before I reach the waterfall.

[grunting]

[intense music]

[splashing]

When Zandor disappears over the bottomless falls

the fighting will end, and I, Krokar, will rule.

Zok. Tundro.

[growling]

[screeching]

[Tundro growling]

No.

[Krokar screaming]

[splash]

[screeching]

[Zok screeching]

Zok, here. Here I am.

[dramatic music]

[screeching]

[music continues]

Help! Help!

[grunting]

[intense music]

The parrot men are all gone, Zandor.

Including Krokar.

[chattering]

I wish I knew what he was saying.

It's simple, he's thanking us for getting rid of Krokar.

And invites us to stay for a feast.

Oh, boy, that's a great idea. What are they having for dinner?

Oh, snails, grubs, ants.

I, uh, I'm not very hungry. Maybe we better go home.

Come on, Zok.

[laughs] Look at him go.

That's the first time I ever saw Dorno turn down a meal.

Come on, boy, get going.

[screeching]

[intense music]

There's something flying close to the ground.

Wait, look down there.

It's Zandor. He must not see us.

Turn on the invisibility screen.

[humming]

[intense music]

[theme music]

[dramatic music]

I was almost sure I saw a strange ship in this area.

Guess I was wrong. Let's go, Zok.

[Zok screeching]

STA-LAK: He's gone, return to visibility.

[zap]

Good, now, eject the decoy smoke.

Decoy smoke ejecting.

Is the decoy working?

- It is working. - Good.

Proceed over the clearing in Zandor's territory.

[intense music]

[whoosh]

Gloop, that ship looks as if it's in trouble.

[whoosh]

They're trying to land here.

[dramatic music]

Are... Are you alright?

Yes, we are lucky to have landed safely.

We, uh, could use some help.

Is Zandor here?

No, my husband and Dorno, my son, are away.

You're welcome to stay and wait for him.

He'll be glad to help.

In that case, we won't be needing any help.

Quickly, into the ship.

TARA: What's the meaning of this?

STA-LAK: With you as hostage, the riches of this planet

will soon be mine, get in!

Gloop, help!

[blabbering]

Destroy that creature, then we leave.

Destroy creature.

[zap]

[plop]

[zap zap]

[plop]

Quickly, we must leave.

[engine revving]

[whoosh]

[blabbering]

That thing's got us. Turn on the magno power.

You'll never get away with this.

Magoo power on.

[whoosh]

[boing]

[blabbering]

[dramatic music]

Zandor will find you wherever you go.

With you as hostage, I have nothing to fear.

We lose altitude, something is wrong with ship.

STA-LAK: That thing must have broken

one of the steerod controls.

Land for repairs.

[thud thud thud]

Let her go, Igoo.

[growling]

[blabbering]

Wow-wee!

[splash]

Boy, that was great, Iggy. The highest dive yet.

[blabbering]

[blabbering continues]

It's Gloop, something's wrong.

[blabbering]

Strangers, where?

[blabbering]

My mother's been taken prisoner?

I'll call Zandor.

[blowing horn]

Faster, Zok, Dorno's calling. It sounds like trouble.

[intense music]

If I know Zandor, he will be here soon.

So, hurry those repairs!

Zandor will get here before you can leave.

Do not worry, I am ready for him.

[screeching]

I found them at the base of the White cliffs.

Follow me and fast.

Right, Zandor.

[growling]

[blabbering]

When the rest of us are in position, Dorno

you and Tundro create a diversion.

ZANDOR: We'll do the rest. - We're ready.

Alright, let's go, and be careful.

- When can we leave? - Almost finished.

Prepare to place the hostage aboard.

[intense music]

That's us, Tundro, let's go!

[Tundro growling]

The ship will fly now.

What is that?

[growling]

It is Zandor's creature, use your stun rays.

[zap zap zap]

Down, Gleep, they're shooting at us.

[Gleep blabbers]

Ugh!

[sighs] Thanks, Gleep.

[blabbering]

Look, another one, stop him!

[zap zap zap]

[growling]

[boom]

[clang]

[growling]

Stop or the woman will be destroyed.

[Igoo growling]

[blabbering]

The hostage! She is gone.

[growling]

Use your rays!

[zap zap zap]

[clanging]

[clang]

[zap zap]

[boom boom]

I can still escape.

[engine spluttering]

It will not move!

I shall give it full power.

[growling]

No, Igoo, no!

[dramatic music]

Ah!

[splash]

[growling]

I am not finished yet, Zandor.

It's up to us, Zok, don't let 'em get away.

[Zok screeching]

Zandor's after the ship.

ZANDOR: We can't let him escape, Zok.

So, Zandor follows.

I have a special welcome for him.

[music continues]

ZANDOR: Careful, Zok, we can expect anything.

Ease in close and we might be able to take over the ship.

Closer, Zandor, closer.

Whirring]

Now, my mega blast will finish them.

Look out, Zok!

[hissing]

Good move, Zok. We'll have to try a different approach.

You were lucky that time, Zandor.

[music continues]

My plans may have been foiled

but I can still destroy Zandor.

[click]

[zap zap zap]

Now, Zok, now!

[zapping]

This energy rock should stop him.

[boom]

[music continues]

[boom]

[growling]

He's out of control.

[screeching]

[intense music]

[boom]

Why do people do such things, Zandor?

I don't know, Tara, but creatures like that

help us to realize that what we have

is worth protecting.
