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.

[screeches]

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.

[theme music]

First, I must find Zandor and the Herculoids.

[rumbling]

Dorno, see if you could see Zandor up ahead.

Okay. Let's go, Gloop.

[babbling]

No sign of him, Gloop.

Let's go down again.

[babbling]

We didn't see Zandor, Igoo or Zok.

Then we'll meet them at the lake.

What's that?

[intense music]

It's Sta-Lak. He's come back.

I thought he crashed.

No, I survived to repay you all.

Look!

[whirring]

[crashing]

[roaring]

What an awful looking thing.

There's another one.

[buzzing]

[explosion]

Now, look above you.

[screeching]

[screeching]

[babbling]

[roaring]

[babbling]

Now, to make sure they bring Zandor to the Black Caverns.

I'll prevent them from following.

[intense music]

[laughs]

Good. My trap is set.

And what do you expect to accomplish?

STA-LAK: The destruction of the Herculoids.

We know Sta-Lak's expecting us.

So, let's not keep him waiting.

Igoo, we need an entrance.

[roaring]

[pounding]

Hah! The Herculoids have arrived.

[crashing]

[roaring]

Alright, Sta-Lak, where are Dorno and Tara?

- Here, Zandor. - Yeah, and we're alright.

Yes, they are alright up to now, Zandor.

But if I press this button, they will be disintegrated.

ZANDOR: Meaning what?

A challenge!

Your Herculoids against my duplex.

Winner take this planet.

[roaring]

[roaring]

[screeching]

[babbling]

There's your answer. We accept your challenge.

Good! Let the battle begin.

[zapping]

But the last one has hidden powers.

[zapping]

[thudding]

I'm not finished yet.

I still have more powers.

We'll cut that short.

Look, Tara, Sta-Lak has another way out.

Yes, a way out and someday a way back.

And don't ever forget that I will be back.

[babbling]

[instrumental music]

Beat ya home, Zandor.

Alright, Dorno.

After this, I'm glad we still have a home to go to.

There always will be, Tara.

As long as we have the Herculoids to protect it.

[babbling]

[growling]

[screeching]

[dramatic music]

Skull Peak in front of us now, captain.

We're on course. Fly straight through the right eye.

[creaking]

We're over the buried chest, captain.

Good! After we retrieve the chest, I have an old score

to settle with Zandor and the Herculoids.

Release the flares.

Look.

A distress flare. We'd better have a look.

[theme music]

It's an unfamiliar distress signal.

We may all be needed. Follow us quickly as you can.

Let's go, Zok.

[screeching]

Get me down, Gloop.

[babbling]

Come on, Gleep.

[babbling]

We'll lead the way.

We're right behind you.

DORNO: Let's go, Igoo.

[growling]

Captain, Zandor comes.

Good! Secure the chest.

[screeching]

[screeching]

[intense music]

I don't believe it. The Sky Pirates.

They must have come back for that treasure.

Come on, Zok. We've got to alert the Herculoids.

[screeching]

He's seen us.

Quickly, get that chest back on the ship.

We will proceed with phase two of my plan.

[guffaws]

The Sky Pirates are just ahead of us.

So, we'll have to move in cautiously.

Igoo, Tundro, you'll come with me.

[growling]

The rest of you, wait here.

ZANDOR: Stay right where you are.

We have no place here for Sky Pirates.

PIRATE CAPTAIN: The solution is simple, Zandor.

We will make a place by eliminating you

and the Herculoids.

Look up, Zandor.

You see, Zandor, what you were looking at

was merely a reflected image. Watch.

[laughing]

They're gone. Very clever.

What do you do next?

I'll immobilize you until we capture the rest.

[whirring]

Incredible ray. None of us can move.

[growling]

[growling]

That blue ray has stopped them in their tracks.

We've got to get up to that ship.

Yeah, that side hatch is open.

Come on, Gloop. It's up to you.

[babbling]

Good! We have them.

DORNO: Not yet, you don't. Release that ray.

Ah, as I expected.

Zandor's son, Dorno and Tara.

What do you mean?

[chuckles]

You found the hatches open. I left them that way on purpose.

Drop that gun.

Soon, I will have you all.

You two will become slaves.

The others will be immobilized forever.

Prepare to take off.

[babbling]

[rumbling]

- What's that? - We don't know.

We're not moving.

I don't think you're gonna take off anywhere.

The repel-ray. Quickly.

[babbling]

Eject attack units.

We've gotta break these shields.

[screeching]

If Zok uses his mega beam

it will reverse this immobilizing shield

that's holding us.

[zapping]

That did it, Zok. Now, free Tundro and Igoo.

[screeching]

[growling]

[roaring]

Not all of you are free, Zandor.

Look on the ridge behind me.

- Reflected images. PIRATE CAPTAIN:\ Correct, Zandor.

But which is the real couple?

And if you and the Herculoids do not surrender

my dissect ray will destroy the real ones.

[babbling]

Herculoids, it's our move.

You're too late, Zandor.

My attack units will finish you all.

I still have my escape missile.

Look, an escape hatch.

[babbling]

[explosion]

[explosions]

[babbling]

[buzzing]

Our Sky Pirates' missile

must've triggered his reflection mechanism.

Gosh! He vanished.

And this time, I hope for good.
