Igoo, the giant rock ape.

Tundro the tremendous.

Gloop and Gleep, the formless, fearless wonders.

With Zandor, their leader.

And his wife Tara and son Dorno.

They team up to protect their planet

from sinister invaders.

Igoo's alarm! Enemy approaching.

Everyone to your places. Hurry! They're coming.

Clearing ahead.

That's it, Dorno. That's the last of them.

We hope.

Unless it's just the beginning.

Scout crafts. Calling, scout crafts.

Something's gone wrong.

[dramatic music]

You, in there!

Who calls?

I am Zandor. Your ships have all been destroyed.

There are many more where we come from.

ZANDOR: Then many more will be destroyed.

Then I will make this bargain.

Defeat our fighter Ogron and we will leave.

It is agreed.

Fight well, Ogron.

I have never been defeated.

[dramatic music]

Here he comes!

[screeching]

[swoosh]

Looks like we've got a battle on our hands, Zok.

[screeching]

[zapping]

[zapping]

I can't hold it off with the shield, Zok. Dive!

[screeching]

[swoosh]

[dramatic music]

The slicing blades, use them.

Look out, Zandor!

Good. The multiple rays.

He's still after us. Into the mists. Fast!

[dramatic music]

[Zok screeching]

[zapping]

Those rays have got to be destroyed.

Zok, try and knock them out.

[zapping]

Ah!

They vaporized my rays.

The black pool, Zandor! The black pool!

The black pool?

It's dangerous, but it's our only chance.

Go for the sting of Ogron's needle.

[dramatic music]

Now I move in for the kill.

[bubbling]

He's following us, Zok. Use everything you've got.

[screeching]

[zapping]

[splashing]

You fool, after him!

He has defeated Ogron.

He must pay for that.

Elevate the nucla-ray.

Zandor is safe!

No one can beat Zandor.

[screeching]

Tara, look down there.

DORNO: They're gonna fire on Zandor.

[zapping]

TARA: Look out, Zandor!

They're hit!

[babbling]

They broke their word.

Take off! Quickly!

[upbeat music]

They're getting away.

[babbling]

Oh no! Turn, turn, turn!

[explosion]

Right on target, Igoo.

[splashing]

[bubbling]

The enemy's gone.

Yes, thanks to the Herculoids.

I don't think they'll be back in a hurry.

[intense music]

[beeping]

Monaray, Monaray, report your position.

We are locked on target, Brotak.

Good, your mission must not fail.

No, master.

The land creatures Zandor and Tara will soon be our prisoners.

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

[whirring]

Zandor, what's that sound?

I don't know, Tara.

Gloop, take me up for a better look.

[babbling]

Okay, Gloop, up we go.

TARA: Zandor, what are they?

It's the Bubblemen, Tara. Quick, take cover!

[dramatic music]

Tundro, use your energy rocks.

[growling]

[zapping]

[explosion]

[growling]

Listen, it's Igoo. There must be trouble.

Hurry, Zok.

[screeching]

[intense music]

Something approaches. We must hurry.

BROTAK: Get the one called Tara.

[zapping]

[zapping]

[buzzing]

[intense music]

Look, it's Zandor and Tara.

They've been captured by the Bubblemen.

[screeching]

We've got to follow them.

[screeching]

[zapping]

[whirring]

Look! There they are.

[bubbling]

They've taken Zandor and Tara into their undersea lab.

We've got to find a way to get in.

[ominous music]

[buzzing]

Zandor, what is this place?

It's the Bubblemen's undersea laboratory, Tara.

It's controlled by Brotak.

So, Zandor, we have you land creatures at last.

What do you want with us, Brotak?

What would any scientist want with guinea pigs?

Prepare them for the experiment.

[dramatic music]

I don't see anything.

But this is the spot where the shaft was.

The whirlpool must be the key to its entrance.

[screeching]

Try your laser beam.

[zapping]

[whirring]

It worked, Zog.

There's the shaft. Let's go, Gleep.

[babbling]

Down we go, Gleep.

[babbling]

Now, Zandor, we will see what you land creatures can stand.

Well, we made it this far, Gleep.

Now to find Zandor and Tara.

A guard. Take care of him, Gleep.

[babbling]

[thudding]

He won't bother us for a while.

Come on, Gleep. This way.

Let the experiments begin.

Oh no, you don't.

[explosion]

Zandor people. Get them.

[zapping]

Hurry, Dorno! Hurry!

Stop them. They're escaping.

[dramatic music]

[zapping]

They're getting away. Sound the alarm.

[alarm blaring]

[dramatic music]

[zapping]

[screeching]

[zapping]

[thudding]

[zapping]

Hang on! We're going to crash.

[babbling]

There they are. After them.

We're trapped.

Look! It's Igoo and Tundro.

[explosions]

Look!

We'll have to make our stand here.

[dramatic music]

[thudding]

You will not escape me, Zandor. I will return with others.

[screeching]

[zapping]

[explosion]

Is that the end of Brotak, Zandor?

I don't know, Dorno. Only time will tell.
