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.

They team up to protect their planet from sinister invaders.

[explosion]

[explosion]

All strong, all brave, all heroes!

They're "The Herculoids"!

[intense music]

[intense music]

[zapping]

[explosion]

Hey, what's all that for? Who are you?

I am Otan. We are from the future.

All of you from the past must be eliminated.

[explosion]

[growling]

[zapping]

[explosion]

[growling]

[zapping]

Your creatures are powerful.

Three of my warriors have been sent back to the future.

The Herculoids will send all of you back to the future, Otan.

Good. Then we must overcome the Herculoids.

First, take the boy!

[whooshing]

[intense music]

[gibbering]

[gibbering]

[explosion]

Good going, Gleep!

[gibbering]

[intense music]

[drum music]

ZANDOR: Those explosions came from somewhere around here, Zok.

[screeching]

There's Dorno. He's in trouble!

[screeching]

Others come. We must return to the future.

Zandor!

[screeching]

[bleeping]

They've taken Dorno.

[Zok screeches]

They vanished in the rays from this machine.

Zandor, this looks like some sort of time transfer device.

It is, Tara. You stay here.

I'm taking the Herculoids into time, to rescue Dorno.

Hurry, Zandor!

Alright, stand by.

[device bleeping]

[gibbering]

We're on Amzot, five thousand years into the future.

Dorno might be in that building. Come on.

[intense music]

Your friends have found their way into the future.

And we will see to it that they will never find their way

back to the past!

[whirring]

We're in for a fight, Herculoids.

[whirring]

[growling]

[zapping]

[gibbering]

[explosion]

[screeching]

[screeching]

[explosion]

More of them.

[growling]

[growling]

[crashing]

That takes care of the tanks. Now let's find Dorno.

The only thing you will find is your destruction!

Once on the ramp, my wall of fire rays will finish them!

I've got to warn Zandor.

Stop the boy!

Zandor! Zandor, go back!

It's a trap! It's a trap!

It's Dorno.

We've got to find a way to get past those doors.

[whooshing]

A wall of rays! And there's no escape.

[gibbering]

[fire crackling]

Inside the building, quick!

They're in the building. They must be stopped!

[intense music]

Uh-oh, looks like we've got company.

[growling]

[growling]

[thudding]

More of them, up there!

[explosion]

They've turned invisible.

[zapping]

[gibbering]

[thud]

Gloop's got them!

Zandor!

Surrender, or the boy will perish!

Surrender and we all perish.

Operation Whirlwind, Gleep.

[gibbering]

[whooshing]

[whirring]

[thudding]

[screeching]

Zok!

[zapping]

[screeching]

Great, a drawbridge!

Let's go, Zok!

Stop them!

[zapping]

[Zok screeching]

[crashing]

[growling]

Good, Dorno's free.

Back to the time transfer device.

Get close. It's going to activate.

[device bleeping]

TARA: Dorno, you're alright!

You brought him back, Zandor!

Yes, Tara.

But now we must destroy this evil machine.

Tundro! Zok!

[screeching]

[rumbling]

[explosion]

Zandor, it's gone!

It must've returned to the future.

Where I hope Oton and his people now realize

that you cannot change the past.

[growling]

[growling]

[Zok screeching]

[music intensifies]

[intense music]

[wind howling]

[oars splashing]

Good, the Rock Village sleeps.

Soon, we will have their gold.

Apply the torches.

[bows twanging]

[whooshing]

Gotron!

Light the beacon!

DORNO: Look at that light over the hill.

What is it, Zandor?

It's the Rock villagers' beacon, Tara.

Gotron is attacking from the sea.

[intense music]

[fire crackling]

Is this all the gold you have?

Yes, Gotron.

You lie!

You will either lead me to the secret cave

where you mine your gold

or you will all be taken as slaves.

Put him back with the others, so they will learn their fate!

You have one hour to give me your answer, Corsack.

ZANDOR: I will give you his answer!

Zandor!

His answer is no!

We were expecting you, Zandor.

And this time, we are ready for you.

[percussive music]

Take him!

[gibbering]

[gibbering]

And we were ready for you, Gotron!

Igoo! Tundro!

[footsteps pounding]

[growling]

[all screaming]

[splashing]

[growling]

[crashing]

[growling]

[clamoring]

[all screaming]

[splashing]

[screeching]

To the longboat!

[indistinct chatter]

[screeching]

[music continues]

[screeching]

To the caves!

[indistinct chatter]

[screeching]

[explosion]

[bows twanging]

[screeching]

[explosion]

[growling]

The caves are endless and many.

It will be hard to dislodge Gotron

and his followers from them.

Nevertheless, they must be driven from the caves.

Igoo!

[intense music]

DORNO: They're gone!

Yes, and if cornered, they'll be dangerous.

You and Gleep stay with Tara.

Zok will guard the cliffs.

[screeching]

The rest of us will follow them.

[intense music]

[growling]

Yes, Igoo, they're all around us.

Gotron, there's no escape!

You mean for you!

[rumbling]

[growling]

Thanks, Igoo.

[growling]

[crashing]

[lava gurgling]

Tundro and I will cross first.

You keep your eyes open.

Go, Tundro!

[crashing]

[gibbering]

Good, Gloop. See if you can bring Igoo over.

[whooshing]

[explosion]

[explosion]

ZANDOR: Can you make it?

[Gloop gibbering]

Now hold your positions until they are close.

And then, strike!

Look, they approach.

A perfect place for an ambush.

[explosion]

Try the other side, Tundro.

[explosion]

Looks like the woods are full of them.

Alright, Igoo, it's your move.

[growling]

[crashing]

Look, an opening!

The secret storehouse of gold!

Quickly, gather our raiders, and into the gold cave!

- The hole is blocked? - Yes, Gotron.

And we have found a way to the sea.

Good. Signal the ship..

...and load it with this gold

while we hold off Zandor and his Herculoids.

Looks like they've holed up behind this boulder.

[growling]

See if we can get through, Igoo.

[growling]

[smashing]

Hurry with that gold!

[gold clinking]

Tundro!

[growling]

[smashing]

[growling]

[gold clinking]

[pounding]

[whirring]

[rumbling]

GOTRON: Come! We're through here!

[growling]

[indistinct chatter]

So, Gotron found the gold cave.

But where is he?

GOTRON: Zandor!

[instrumental music]

We have the gold, and we'll be back for more!

That ship's so loaded it can barely move.

[music continues]

[laughing]

Gotron, you forgot one sack!

Zok!

[screeching]

Deliver this.

One more bag of gold may be more than he can carry.

[screeching]

What trick is this?

That's the sack that broke the back of Gotron's gold ship.

The ship's sinking.

ZANDOR: Their greed finished them, Dorno.

The survivors escaped.

And you, Corsack, will have to stay alert.

As long as there's greed, Gotron will return.

We leave for home now.
