Jonny Quest, brought to you by...

Now, I shall try again.

I'm so close to success, it must work.

Next, to increase my power units.

More on A-force. More on B-force.

Molecular energy has formed.

It has started, and it can be harnessed.

What have I created?

I must call for help.

Doctor Quest.

Doctor Quest!

Oh, sorry, Race. What is it?

It's a frantic ham radio message from Cave Island.

Well, that would be Isaiah Norman.

I wonder what he wants.

Is he the one who's been experimenting

with molecular energy?

Yes, Race. I hope he's alright.

Dr. Quest here.

Benton, this is Isaiah Norman.

- I desperately need your help. - Yes, Isaiah, what is it?

You know of my experiments in attempting to harness energy

and my theory of controlling it.

Yes, I do.

Well, I'm afraid my efforts have resulted in the creation

of something too terrible to contemplate.

- But, Isaiah... - No! Believe me, Benton.

It is monstrous beyond imagination.

And what is worse, uncontrollable.

- Can you come at once? - Of course, Isaiah.

Something must be done to stop this thing.

No. No!

It's come back.

Isaiah. Isaiah!

What do you think it is, doctor?

I don't know, Race, but we've got to move fast.

Come on, boys.

Let's get all the emergency equipment aboard the plane.

- The new plane? - Yes.

We'll leave in two hours.

Boy, this plane has some take off, Hadji.

More like you're ridin' an elevator.

Stand by for engine switchover.

Standing by.

Engage main engines.

How we doin', doctor?

Pretty good, Race, pretty good.

We'll be at Cave Island, just about dawn.

Do you really think, uh, experimenting with

molecular energy could be dangerous?

Frankly, Race, I don't know.

I hear Bandit's taking a nap.

That's for sure. He's been dog napping ever since we left.

You boys better get some sleep, too.

Almost daylight. Ought to be about there.

I think I see it.

Oh, where are we?

Just coming into Cave Island.

Huh? Already?

Already? You slept the whole trip.

What, me? Asleep?

I hardly closed my eyes.

Me, too. Where's the island?

Just oil to “N hit thou. Do you n; h?

That's the western tip of the island.

We should find Dr. Norman's laboratory at the other end.

There she is.

Okay, check your safety belts. Let's go on down there.

Gosh, it's so quiet.

Gee, Jonny, look at those buildings.

Well, yeah. It looks like they've been bombed.

- And where is Dr. Norman? - I don't know, Race.

Let's take a look at his laboratory.

- What do you think, Race? - I don't know.

Never saw anything like it in my life.

You're right, Race, and no sign of Dr. Norman.

You boys stay here.

I don't like the look of things.

Here's something over here that might give us a clue.

I think it's Dr. Norman's notebook.

Yes. Yes, it is.

What do you make of it, doctor?

(Jonnfl Hey, dad! Dad!

- What is it, Jonny? - Can you look at this, dad?

Here's a real clue. Look.

- What do you think that is? - I don't know.

I never saw anything like it before.

And that's mot. Of 'om.

They lead to that broken fence over there.

Whatever made those prints

must have unbelievable strength.

He'd have to, to rip that fence apart.

And from the look of those insulators

that fence was heavily charged with electricity.

Boy, what could take a charge like that?

I'm not sure.

I think we'd better follow this trail

and find out what we're dealing with.

So do I. Break out the rocket belts

while I have a look at Dr. Norman's notebook.

Dad?

Dr. Quest. We're ready to go.

Oh, Race, you and the boys scout on ahead.

I wanna give these notes of Dr. Norman's more study.

With luck and a couple of hours' study,

I might be able to piece together what happened here.

Right, doctor. Ready, boys?

Yes, sir.

Okay, boys.

Now, let's see if we can track this thing down.

- Oh, Race. - Yes, sir.

- Whatever it is, be careful. - Right, doctor.

Stay, Bandit. Stay.

Easy, boy. They'll be back soon.

Well, whatever it is, it's easy to follow.

Yeah. Look at those footprints.

It sure makes a wreck of everything.

Hey, wait.

What is it, Hadji?

Look. That village over there.

It's wrecked, too.

Como on. Let's spud It up.

We seem to be in the trail of a two-legged tornado.

What is that strange sound?

Well, maybe it's our friend, the two-legged tornado.

Let's get outta here.

I don't want any friends like that.

Come on, boys, let's get upstairs.

It'll be safer.

Going up.

Can't figure that sound.

It's getting louder.

There's another village.

But look. Of! To tho right. What's that?

It's moving.

That must be it.

It's heading for the beach.

We'll be able to see it now.

It's coming out of the jungle.

Oh, gosh! I can 't so-anything.

It's invisible.

I see the footprints, but no body.

Let's go. We've got to warn the villagers.

Ram. There's nobody hora.

Everyone's gone.

Hello!

He"o, anybody?

It's deserted.

Hello!

Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey, something's wrong.

Race! Jonny!

My rocket belt. It won't work.

Oh, Race, the thing, it's almost on him.

Help!

Hold it, Hadji, we'll get ya.

- Got a good grip on him, Jonny? - Yup.

Once around the park, fellas.

Quiet. Now, let's get back to the lab, and fast.

How far away is it now?

At the rate it's moving, it'd take an hour and a half

or two hours to get here.

Well, it's more serious than I thought.

I finished reading Dr. Norman's notes

and I think I know what we're dealing with.

- We'll have to destroy it. - But what is it?

Dr. Norman was experimenting with energy and mass.

To make it brief, it got away from him.

He found he had made a massive energy that somehow came alive.

It feeds on more energy, and it lives only to feed.

I'm afraid it consumed Norman before he could stop it.

It eats people?

No, Jonny, it consumes them.

It eats energy.

Sunlight, electricity, the energy in a living body.

Anything it can get.

- Gosh. - What will happen now?

Unless it's stopped, it will continue

to grow and grow and grow.

How can it be stopped?

There's only one way I can think of, Race.

How?

First, we have to think of a way to make it visible.

Then, we can lay a trap with some equipment

I can try to put together.

- But how to see it? - We'll paint it.

- Huh? - We'll paint It, dad.

Jenny, you may have a thought there.

- Race? - Yes?

There's a paint shack in the back.

Pick up some plastic bags we have in the plane

and load them with the brightest paint.

We'll go on a little bombing mission before we set our trap.

And you boys get those rocket belts checked out.

- Yes, sir. - Okay, dad.

- Oh, and Hadji. - Yes, sir.

- Especially you. - Yes, sir.

This monster sure makes a mess of things, doesn't it, Race?

You can say that again.

- Um, dad? - Yes, Jonny?

Wait till you see what it did to the villages.

Yes, I know, son.

That's why we've got to find it, and destroy it.

That's the village where we rescued Hadji.

Horrible, isn't it?

Then over there is where it came out of the forest.

And just below us is where it went back in again.

I see, Jonny. Okay, let's follow it.

Look, there it goes, towards the ledge.

Looks as though it's heading back to the laboratory alright.

But why, dad?

So, when the sun goes down,

it'll be able to maintain its energy with electricity.

Let's have a look at that thing.

You boys stay up here.

Race and I will have a try at it.

I mixed this paint with a phosphorescent dye.

Let's hope it works.

It stopped, doctor.

Here goes.

Right behind you.

Something's taking shape.

Yes, try it again but higher.

Great guns! Look at that.

Yuck. What a monster.

It's a terrible looking thing.

If it means anything, at least, we can see what we're fighting.

- It's moving. - Yes, towards the laboratory.

Come on, boys, back to the lab.

We have a trap to set, and no time to lose.

Alrlght. Than. Say. It better b-. Protty blg trap.

Yeah, that's a pretty big monster.

- Dr. Quest. - Yes?

- Is this all of it? - Yes, Race, that's it.

Take it away. I'll be with you in a minute.

I just have time to hook up the main cable to the generator.

Jonny'. Had“!

Jonny'. Had“!

- You finished? - Yes, Race.

We're back here.

Let's go, boys.

Give me a hand getting these lights hooked up.

Okay.

(Jonnfl Are we about finished?

As soon as this stuff gets connected.

And your dad gets here.

I was right. It's headed for the lab.

I better get down to the cave.

Boy, that looks terrific.

- If it works. - It's got to work.

After all, I'm going to be the bait.

You the bait, dad? I don't understand.

Someone has to lure that monster down here and into the cave.

And that will be me.

Now, let's head back to the generator shack

and I'll explain the strategy.

You see? I've rigged up a system of lights

that I hope will do the trick.

And the equipment in the cave?

If I can attract this thing into position,

my plan is to reverse

the process by which it was created.

I think I follow you, doctor.

And I think I'll just keep my fingers crossed, dad.

(Dr. Ques“ Me, too, Jenny.

It's coming.

Now look, Race.

The minute that monster gets in view

throw the switch marked number one.

Like this.

When it sees that light, the monster should head for it.

The light is food for it.

- See it, Hadji? - Yes.

And when it gets there, I turn it off.

Right. Then, turn number two on.

That'll light the light by the entrance to the cave.

He'll see it from light one, and he'll head down the path.

And you'll turn that one off.

Yes, and then I'll attract the monster into the cave

with a flashlight.

When I give the signal on the viewer

hit the main switch and hit it fast.

- You got that? - Got it.

Good. I've got to go.

- Good luck. - Be careful, dad.

I will, Jonny.

Band“. Com. Back hut.

Don't go out than. Jenny.

(Jonnfl But Bandit's following dad.

Back, Bandit. Go back.

Stay, Bandit. Stay!

Bandit! Bandit, come back here.

Jonny, I told you not to go out there.

I've got to, Race. Bandit's scared to death.

Jonny!

Jenny's got Bandit, Race, and here he comes.

Good boy.

And here comes the monster.

Wow. It's bigger than I thought.

It's coming towards the shack.

Steady, everybody.

Now!

- The light's on, Race. - The monster sees it.

It's just about there, Race.

Here goes.

Has it seen number two light, yet?

No, Race. It just stands there, screaming.

Now, it's turning that way.

It's near the path, down by the cliff.

I better alert your dad.

Dr. Quest. Dr. Quest. Race here.

Yes, Race?

The thing's on it's way toward the cave.

Yes, Race, I hear it.

I'm ready for it.

It's heading for the cave entrance light.

Well, that did it.

Race, do you hear me?

- Yes, doctor. - It's seen the flashlight.

It's coming this way.

Ready with that switch?

Steady...

It's moving into position.

Here, monster.

That's a nice little monster.

He's there, Race.

Hold it. Hold it.

Now!

You're okay, doctor?

Yes, Race, the monster's finished.

It's gone.

- Yipee! - Alright!

Oh, man, I'm glad that's over.

Everything packed. Ready for take off.

Good. For once, I'm really glad to leave.

By the way, where are the boys?

Over in the house, I think. I'll get 'em.

Hi, Bandit.

Okay, fellas, let's roll.

In a second, Race.

We're training Bandit to not to be afraid of monsters.

I don't think it's gonna work.

Well, here goes the big test.

Here, Band“. Here, boy.

Here, Bandit.

Awooga!

Hey...

. "gy- Hay, watch It.

Ha ha ha.

I told you it wouldn't work.

Uh, take it easy. Take it easy. Down.

Go, Bandit, go!

- Please, Bandit. - Take it easy, Bandit.

Okay. Okay, you win.

Come on, monsters. The plane is waiting. Let's go.

I'll make a full report on Dr. Norman's experiment

when we get back.

His loss will be a serious setback

in his field, won't it, doctor?

Yes. But if there 's any consolation

what we learn from every setback

helps science to move forward.
