Original subtitles

With ability to summon and command

all creatures of the deep.

Aquaman, who with his teenage ally, Aqualad

guards and defends all that lives in the seas

against the forces of evil.

Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas.

[theme music]

(male narrator) To play a practical joke on Aquaman

Aqualad and Mera using parts of sunken ships

have build a weird undersea craft.

[laughs]

It looks real, doesn't it, Aqualad?

Sure does, Mera. Now, watch what happens.

[instrumental music]

Remember, Tusky, you make the sound effect.

Swell.

(Aqualad) 'Aquaman, help!'

'Strange sub attacking Mera and me'

'using powerful reverse force ray.'

'Can't hold on much longer.'

'Hurry.'

Hang on, Tadpole. I'm on my way.

(male narrator) Unknown to the young pranksters

a huge electronic eye has discovered their presence.

Through the giant eye

Stickmen from the Planet Stygia

observe the depths of Earth's oceans.

Their mission, to capture Aquaman

and bring him back to Stygia as a water slave.

All hands standby for action.

Remember, Aquaman must be taken alive.

Aqualad, Mera, check in.

They must be in real trouble.

[neighs]

Here he comes.

Now. Make the sound effect, Tusky.

[Tusky burbling]

(Aquaman) 'That's just a flashlight beam.'

And this must be a practical joke.

Some joke.

Well, two can play it.

Great waves! The joke backfired.

That rock's heading for the fake sub.

Mera, watch out.

Aquaman, are you alright?

I guess it was a pretty stupid joke.

Sorry, Aquaman.

- I just thought-- - No, you didn't think.

Remember the boy who cried wolf?

Aquaman is in range.

Hit him with the immobilizer at once.

I'll go fetch Storm.

- Aqualad. - Stay back, Mera.

(Stickman #1) 'We hit wrong one.'

Now, Aquaman is in the clear. Get him. Quick!

- 'Got him, sir.' - Quickly.

Have the magnetic force beam pull him into the ship.

Hurry, hurry.

Ha ha. Good. We've got him now.

Our mission is accomplished.

(male narrator) Although immobilized, the Sea King's active brain

transmits a telepathic call for help to his fish allies.

Something struck the eye.

Aquaman is free.

Stabilize it at once.

We must not let him get away on pain of death.

Come on, Tadpole. Help me tie this down.

The screen, it's blank.

They've destroyed our eye. Blast off.

We must repair it.

That'll hold 'em.

whoosh

splash

thud

We're on the bottom.

All hands, man the torpopedo guns.

Prepare for attack.

'Fire torpopedos. All barrels.'

pew pew pew

Holy hackfish! Look!

Clear out, Aqualad. Jump.

[dramatic music]

Careful, everyone.

Those bubbles contain torper gas.

Destroy the guns.

pew pew pew

clang clang

Tadpole, get Mera out of here. Quickly!

Mera.

clang clang

(Stickman #2) 'All our guns destroyed, commander.'

Everyone, into the water.

Destroy the Earth creatures with your force guns.

pew pew pew

(Stickman #3) 'Aquaman, must be taken alive.'

Leapin' lionfish. Force rays.

Stand back.

pew pew

Get the girl.

pew pew

This will teach you not to horse around.

Look, Aquaman. They're regrouping.

Heavens! What do we do now?

We'll fool them with your phony reverse force ray.

Take your positions. Hurry.

Hold it! Don't fire.

(Stickman #3) 'You are wise to surrender, Aquaman.'

'Go quietly with my men.'

'They will not attack you with their force rays.'

No. It is you who must go quietly.

Or we will destroy your ship with our reverse force ray.

[laughing]

(Stickman #3) 'Ridiculous.'

'You are bluffing, Aquaman.'

I am? Just watch.

creak

bam bam

Stickmen, Stickmen, hear this.

'Return to ship at once.'

'We must blast off'

'before the ship is pebbled to a pulp.'

[clapping]

It worked. It worked.

Yeah. There they go.

whoosh

- Think they'll ever come back? - No.

Not while we possess this, uh, fearsome weapon of ours.

(Aqualad) 'The reverse force ray.'

[all laughing]

slam

[instrumental music]

(male narrator) In just a moment, we will return

with another exciting adventure.

Featuring a guest star from the galaxy

of super superhero.

[instrumental music]

By authority of the mystic Guardians of the Universe

on the far distant Planet Oa

Hal Jordan, test pilot becomes the Green Lantern.

A cosmic crusader whose magical power-ring

and his bidding accomplishes the impossible.

In his continuing fight against interplanetary evil.

Green Lantern, Guardian of the Galaxies.

(male narrator) Rocketing a highly advanced jet craft

through trial maneuvers, test pilot Hal Jordan

secretly the Green Lantern, is in radio contact

with his Venutian friend and mechanic Kairo

at ground control.

All tests affirmative, Kairo.

Cutting in to landing pattern now.

Check, boss.

Runway four is clear for landing.

Meet you there.

Hey! What..

[dramatic music]

Kairo.

It's not like him to disappear without a word.

(male narrator) Far out in space, Green Lantern's young companion

is now a prisoner..

...of Orc, a fugitive interplanetary raider.

Look, buster, you gonna tell me why you're holding me?

Silence. There it comes now.

What's that?

It is an asteroid from a parallel dimension

'which once a year appears in this dimension'

'for precisely one hour'

'and on which the Guardians of the Universe'

'confine for life the worst criminals'

'in the cosmos.'

- Why are you going to do it? - To free those criminals.

Who will then work for me.

But, but what about..

You, little man, are my insurance

against the Green Lantern.

[laughs]

(male narrator) Now, after a fruitless search for the missing Kairo

an anxious Hal Jordan returns to his dormitory quarters.

[beeping]

Power Lantern's signal

from the Guardians of the Universe.

[dramatic music]

Make haste, Green Lantern.

You must stop the criminal Orc from raiding

the interdimensional prison asteroid.

Great meteors!

Could that have something to do with Kairo's disappearance?

Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power

Green Lantern's light!

[dramatic music]

Hurry, time is slipping away.

Have you taken care of the boy Kairo?

I have left him in Creature Valley, sir.

Excellent.

By the time Green Lantern arrives to rescue him

'this world will vanish back into limbo'

'together with them.'

Blast off.

(male narrator) Arriving over the dark side of the asteroid

Green Lantern's searching for Kairo

illuminates the terrain with his power beam.

Must find Kairo fast.

Only a short time left before this world dissolves

back into its own dimension.

Boss, boss. Here I am.

[dramatic music]

Am I ever glad you made the scene

before this place goes poof.

Only minutes left to bring those criminals back.

[growling]

slam

Kairo.

[growling]

Great comets! Now it's coming for me.

Got to try something else.

Only two or three minutes still remain, Orc.

[laughs]

At this rate, Green lantern

will never get off the asteroid

before it vanishes.

Great Guardians!

[zapping]

Must get away.

Squeezing breath out of me.

Jumpin' jumpin' jackals! Green Lantern!

[dramatic music]

bam

Nice work, Kairo. Hop aboard.

Any moment now this asteroid is due to vanish.

Yikes!

Look out, boss.

Behind you.

This calls for...a beam tunnel.

[zapping]

[growling]

It's begun.

The return of this world to its own dimension.

Green Lantern, help!

Have you free in a second, Kairo.

Nice shot, boss.

[dramatic music]

Gee, boss. Those criminals still on the loose.

Yes, and in about one minute, that prison asteroid

will be gone.

This capsule will protect you.

I'll pick up the jet trail from their exhaust.

Look, Orc! Green Lantern coming at us.

Blast him. Destroy him.

This oughta knock out his canon fast.

[dramatic music]

Only a split second remains now.

Okay, Kairo.

Not a second too soon for me, boss.

Green Lantern reporting to Guardians.

Mission accomplished.

Well done, Hal Jordan.

Once again you have earned the sacred trust

we bestowed upon you

'in the powers of the Green Lantern.'

(male narrator) Coming up next..

More action packed adventures

with Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas.

Featuring Aqualad and Tusky the Walrus.

[neighs]

(male narrator) In the seas beyond Atlantis

Aqualad and his pet walrus Tusky

pass some ancient mysterious wrecks.

[laughing]

bam

rumble

[gasps]

What's up, Tusky?

Relax, Tusky. It's only an old, crusty jug.

Let's see what's inside it.

whoosh

Holy houndfish. Who-who are you?

I, young master, am Snork the Great.

'An undersea genie.'

[theme music]

A genie? What do you do?

Why, I grant to whoever releases me from the jug

three fantastic wishes.

Command me, master. I am your servant.

Well, let's see.

I, uh, I wish for a robot.

A powerful robot that'll do anything I want.

boom

Leaping lionfish! It's real.

Aye, master. Command him.

Okay.

Those wrecks

'clean them up at once.'

[rumbling]

Wow!

Hey, take it easy, robot.

Where's Imp?

Imp? Aqualad must be in trouble.

Let's go, Storm.

Snork, Snork? Where is that genie?

Snork, where are you?

[dramatic music]

Stop.

I don't want that coral destroyed.

bam

[yelps]

Great waves! Aqualad's trapped under all that debris.

Easy now.

Careful.

Watch him, Tusky, I've gotta take care of that robot.

Mumbling mantis. What happened?

Where in the Seven Seas that thing came from?

[beeping]

bam bam

splat splat splat

You, genie, make the robot disappear.

I'm sorry, master.

I can only make them appear.

Oh, but you have two more wishes, sire.

Okay.

I wish for a powerful robot smasher.

Now, hurry.

boing

poof

clang clang clang

Tell me, Aqualad, have you any idea

where that robot came from?

Well, uh..

It's this way, Aquaman.

I, uh, made a wish granted me by a genie I released

'from an old jug.'

A genie, huh?

Well, I want you to find this genie

and put him back in the jug where he belongs, at once.

Okay, Snork, the game's over.

Back into the jug. Come on.

But, master, you still have

one more magnificent wish.

No, thanks. Those wishes brought me nothing but trouble.

Hmph! Is it my fault you had to ask for a crazy robot

nobody could control?

Control? Hmm. Yeah.

If only, just once, I had the power to control fish

like Aquaman does.

Your wish is my command.

[rumbling]

Murmurin' moonfish!

I've got the power to command fish.

(male narrator) Now, his telepathic waves from Aqualad's brain

radiate down a dark stringent hole in the sea floor.

They call from its depths

a horde of huge mutant creatures.

Yikes! Those weird creatures.

I didn't want them. Go back. Go back!

I command you.

Snork, my power. My telepathic power.

It's gone.

Of course, master.

You only asked to have it once and once only.

What do I do?

Aquaman! Am I in trouble?

There, those weird fish.

Mutants, Tadpole.

Long ago placed into the Dungeon Depth

for safekeeping.

Now, we need help to put them back there again.

(male narrator) At once, normal fighting fish, come and answer

to Aquaman's royal summons.

And barrel into the ugly mutants.

Keep shoving them back, troops.

Alright, they're safely back now.

It's all my fault, Aquaman.

I let that genie talk me into making a third wish and--

Okay, Aqualad. I saw it all happen.

But I'm glad you confessed.

Now, I'll fix that genie once and for all.

(male narrator) Now a giant puffer fish answers Aquaman's commands.

Hey, hey. No, wait.

[genie mumbling]

Leapin' lampreys!

Well, guess that's the last of that mischievous genie.

Now, let's head for home, Tadpole.

Your wish is my command, master.
