NARRATOR: Somewhere out in space live the Herculoids.

With Zandor, their leader.

Igoo, the giant rock ape.

Zok, the laser-ray dragon.

Dorno.

Gloop and Gleep, the formless, fearless wonders.

Tundro, the tremendous.

They team up to protect their planet from sinister invaders.

All strong. All brave. All heroes.

They're The Herculoids.

Hurry, we must get him to safety.

[growling]

[groaning]

DORNO: He's coming around, Zandor.

What happened?

Our village, it was attacked

by terrible creatures.

Terrible creatures, on Gravite island?

MALE #1: Yes, they appeared from nowhere.

And are driving our people from the island.

You must help us, Zandor.

We will help you.

Dorno, call for Tara and the rest of the Herculoids.

We're going to Gravite Island.

[growling]

[intense music]

The island is strangely quiet, Zandor.

Too quiet, Dorno.

We better split up and scout around.

Tara, you fly overhead on Zok.

ZANDOR: If you see anything, have Zok give the signal.

Yes, Zandor.

The rest of us will head for the village.

LOTAK: So, the villagers seek help from Zandor and the Herculoids.

Then I must prepare for them.

[whirr]

[zap zap]

[growling]

[growling continues]

[growling]

What was that?

I'm not sure, Dorno.

But we better keep a sharp lookout.

[growls]

[babbling]

[instrumental music]

There's the village.

DORNO: Looks like it's deserted, Zandor.

[growling]

Gravite creatures.

Zandor, they're all around us.

Look out!

[thud thud]

[growling]

[thwap thwap]

[pow pow pow]

[screeching]

I hear it, Zok. It's Tundro's energy rocks.

Coming from the village. Hurry.

[screeching]

They're closing in on us, Zandor.

The Herculoids are too powerful.

I must stop them.

Creatures, take Zandor.

[growls]

There they are, Zok.

And they've got Zandor.

[dramatic music]

Be careful not to hit Zandor, Zok.

[zap]

They've taken Zandor into that gravite pit.

But how?

[babbling]

[music continues]

[babbling]

What'd you find out, Gloop?

[babbling]

Gloop says there's a tunnel underneath the gravite pit.

Then we must follow.

I should have known it was you who was behind this, Lotak.

Yes, Zandor. This island is rich in gravite.

Enough for me to create an army of creatures.

Your plans will fail, Lotak.

[Lotak laughs]

As long as you're my prisoner, your Herculoids

will not dare interfere.

We should be getting near the end of the tunnel soon.

Yes, and I hope we don't run into any of those creatures.

[intense music]

[growls]

[babbling]

[growls]

[thump]

That was awful close.

Yes, but we've got to find Zandor.

There he is, Tara.

Gloop, it's up to you.

[babbling]

Gloop, one of those buttons will free me.

[snap]

Zandor. He is free. Get him.

[growling]

Tundro, your energy rock.

[growls]

[thwap thwap]

You have not won yet, Zandor.

You have lost, Lotak.

Not yet, Zandor.

[zap]

[boom]

Thank you, Zandor.

You and your Herculoids have made our island safe once more.

Yes, your people can return and live in peace.

Farewell.

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

Look, Your Majesty. Those are our latest war machines.

MALAK: Excellent!

Come. Let us send them against the sea people.

Activate them.

Good. Move them out at once.

[thumping footsteps]

Zok, I can't believe what I'm seeing.

[screeching]

[thumping footsteps]

[zap zap]

[screeching]

Your new weapon should be invincible, Your Majesty.

That rider was swiftly eliminated.

[dramatic music]

Are you alright, Dorno?

Yes, Tara.

Lucky those branches broke my fall.

[babbling]

It's okay, Gloop.

[babbling]

I'm alright.

[Tundro growling]

You say they were made of metal, Dorno?

Yes, Zandor.

They sure look like it.

And they were headed toward the home of the sea people?

[screeching]

The Herculoids had better intercept them

at the green gorge.

[babbling]

[growling]

[growling]

[screeching]

[thumping footsteps]

What is that ahead?

It is Zandor, Your Majesty.

The leader of the Herculoids.

He is in the path of your machines.

Stop.

[thumping footsteps]

I warn you, Zandor.

Do not attempt to stop us.

That's the voice of Malak. The dwarf king.

MALAK: Yes. We were about to test our new attack force

on the sea people.

It will be just as well to test them on the Herculoids.

[growling]

[growling]

[babbling]

As you see, Malak, the Herculoids are already here.

Then let the battle begin.

I have so programmed the machines

they will react, Your Majesty.

[zap]

Look, that ray is undermining the cliff.

Zandor!

Now, to blast the communication contact on the last one.

[thwap]

[boom]

Something has gone wrong, Your Majesty.

The units are losing their scanning patterns.

I can't bring in an image.

We've lost contact.

Two of our units are destroyed, Your Majesty.

Activate the return mechanism.

[click]

[creak creak]

Look, Zandor, it's going back.

Good. Maybe we can surprise Malak.

I've tuned in the Lookout Scanner

to search for the machines.

Look, Your Majesty.

One returns.

MALAK: Come. Prepare for it's entrance.

[thumping footsteps]

The Herculoids must have destroyed

two of them, Your Majesty.

Yes, but will they be able to destroy an army of them.

I would like to see the Herculoids

try to face such a mighty force.

That's why we are here.

Bring on your army.

[babbling]

It is Zandor, Your Majesty.

Zandor, welcome to your doom.

Press that button, quickly.

Let's get out, Gloop.

And fast.

[babbling]

[rumbling]

[babbling]

[boom boom]

What an explosion.

I hope Zandor and Gloop are alright.

Come on, we've got to get inside.

Zok.

Hey, let me go. Oh!

Come on, you big hunk of tin. Let me loose.

Crush him.

Okay, Zok. This mixed up machine is asking for it.

[screeching]

[zap]

[pow]

Dorno!

[babbling]

[babbling]

Thanks, Gleep.

Good catch.

Uh-oh! He's not out of action yet.

But this shot might do it.

Look. Igoo's found an easy way to travel.
