[theme music]

[male narrator] In the great Hall of the Justice League

there are assembled the world's four greatest heroes

created from the cosmic legends of the universe

Superman...

[train horn blaring]

[metal screeching]

...Wonder Woman...

Zoom

...Batman...

Vroom

...Aquaman.

Beep-beep beep-beep

And those three junior Super Friends

Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog.

Their mission, to fight injustice

to right that which is wrong

and to serve all mankind.

[male narrator] Mystery Mountain, an exciting challenge

to adventurous young mountain climbers

like Marvin, Wendy and Wonder Dog.

Halfway up the slope, they stop for a picnic.

Wow, this looks like a good spot.

[grunting]

They are unaware that a mysterious occurrence

is about to launch them into one of the most

exciting days of their lives.

Okay, mountain climbers, dig in.

Mmm.

[Wendy] Marvin, there are some cans of soda in the cooler.

[Marvin] Sure.

Here you are, Wendy.

- Hey. - Huh?

Zonkers, for a second I couldn't get my arm down.

Those cans sailed right over the top of the mountain.

Come on, let's investigate.

On the mountaintop they discover a very strange object

a giant metallic U.

[Wendy] I know what it is. It's a magnet.

It can't be.

These metal cans don't stick to it.

Neither does my Super Friends wristband made of steel.

But if it's not a magnet, what made the cans fly up here?

[gasping]

Oh, wow.

No wonder they call this Mystery Mountain.

Let's report this to the Super Friends.

[narrator] In the Hall of the Justice League

the Super Friends listen attentively

to the report of their junior members.

It's 30 feet high and really weird-looking.

- What does it look like? - Well, uh...

- It looks like, uh, a U. - It looks like Batman?

No. It's shaped like a letter U.

Why don't we check it out, Batman?

Will do, Robin. Kids, come with us in the Bat-copter.

And show us this Mystery Mountain.

[helicopter whirring]

Huh? Where is it?

Gee, it was there a couple of hours ago, honest.

Are you sure this is the right mountain?

[Wendy] Absolutely. Land in the valley.

We'll show you where we started our climb.

[Batman] Good idea.

[whirring]

[zapping]

This is where we started out.

[Wonder Dog grunting]

[Batman] There's something up there, alright.

Robin and I will check it out.

Hey, Wendy, don't we wanna see it too?

Okay. Let's take the mountain trail.

[zapping]

Holy alphabet. There's the U.

[Batman] Let's head for it.

Something's pulling us.

We're in trouble, Robin.

[narrator] Atop Mystery Mountain

the giant U exerts a powerful magnetic force

on the helpless Bat-copter

pulling it toward the mountainside.

We're in double trouble, Batman. Look up there.

Great blazes.

[male narrator] In the sky, a huge meteor

attracted by the mighty magnet

plummets towards the helpless aircraft.

Swing away from the meteor's path. Quick, Batman.

I'm trying, Teen Wonder.

There's a little matter of a mountain in our path.

I've got this at vertical descent, full power

but it won't drop.

Missed us by inches.

[crashing]

[narrator] As the magnetic force suddenly cuts off

the Bat-copter's powerful motor sends it plummeting

toward the valley.

Holy downfalls. What happened?

No more magnetic force.

[Robin] Whoever turned off that magnet

kept us from crashing into the mountain.

[Batman] Now it's up to us

to keep from crashing into the valley.

Pull back.

Whew, they made it. That was close.

Well, let's keep climbing. I wanna see what's up there.

Wendy, Marvin, Wonder Dog, where are you?

Look, Robin, fresh footprints.

I think our young friends got curious

probably climbed the mountain.

To see what they could see?

They may see more than they can handle.

We'd better go after them.

[narrator] Atop the mountain, the trap doors open

and now a crane rises to retrieve

the treasure from the sky

a meteorite of solid gold.

The mystery unfolds.

Inside the mountaintop

the underground laboratory of the brilliant scientist

Simeon Shamon.

Carefully, he examines the meteorite

with his equally brilliant lab technician

Madame Lila Labonne.

It's gold, Madame Labonne, solid gold.

Your plan was brilliant.

Drawing the space cloud toward Earth

with your special gold-attracting magnet

then smelting the gold dust with intense heat

from the laser beam.

And then once again using the Shamon U

to bring the gold nugget down to our mountaintop.

Dr. Shamon, before we do any more sky mining

I really believe we should approach

this project more cautiously.

Cautiously, what harm can--

[Labonne] My studies show only 50 percent

of the space cloud is gold dust.

I don't know yet what the other particles are composed of.

Who cares about side effects?

Alright, men. Send up the laser gun.

[Marvin panting]

What's the big rush?

Can't we rest for a while?

[Wonder Dog grunting]

[panting]

Huh?

[yelping]

Only a couple of owls.

[Marvin] Those eyes are coming closer. Come on.

[Batman] Come on, kids. This is no time to play hide-and-seek.

[sighs] We thought you were a couple of owls.

Will you settle for a couple of bats?

Come on, let's get up to the top. And stick close to us.

The U is gone.

Holy Houdini, that thing keeps vanishing.

What do you make of it, Batman?

We saw the meteor land here.

It's my guess it bounced off and rolled down the other side

the steep side.

Maybe that meteorite can give us a clue

as to what's going on up here.

Excellent deduction, Robin. Kids, you wait here.

Robin and I are going to climb down the steep side

and look for it.

Why didn't they want us to go with them?

Marvin, you have to be an expert

to climb down that side in darkness.

Ha, ha. You're talking to Super-Marv.

I'm as sure-footed as a mountain goat. Ah!

[laughing]

How you doing, Super-Goat?

[imitating a goat]

Careful, Robin. This face is tricky.

- Uh-oh, what's that? - Quick, our Batlights.

[Robin] Holy Easter bunnies. It's just a rabbit.

Cute little thing. We interrupted its late snack.

Alright, after bouncing off the summit

the meteorite should've hit the mountainside

just about there near that ledge. Let's go.

- Can you still see them? - Nope.

Golly, they never let us do the exciting stuff.

W-What, w-what's that coming up?

I think that's trouble coming up. Let's hide.

Where?

[grunting]

[Wendy] What is it?

[Marvin] I think it's a laser gun.

[narrator] Far away in space

Shamon's laser beam strikes a portion of the space cloud

igniting it into a brilliant white-hot fireball.

The intense heat fuses the particles of gold

into another huge nugget.

And after this mighty fusion

a mysterious mist

slowly drifts downward into the atmosphere.

There, it becomes strangely affected by the Earth's oxygen

creating exotic gases unknown to Earth's scientists

and, like our air, appears invisible to the human eye.

Look, something else is coming up.

[Wendy] It's the U.

[whirring]

Hey, what...

[gasping]

The magnet's got his wristband.

Come on, Wonder Dog, he needs help.

Keep tugging, Wonder Dog. Hang in there, Marvin.

You mean, I've got a choice?

[crashing]

Why, it's another meteorite.

Yeah.

This one didn't bounce off.

Wow, look at the color of it.

Somebody painted it gold.

[Wendy] Marvin, this came from space.

Who'd be up there painting meteorites gold?

[gasping]

- It's a claw. - And it's moving this way.

And I'm moving that way.

It's gonna take the meteorite down through the trap doors.

- I wonder what's under there. - Me too.

And there's only one way to find out.

Come on.

Eh? What is this?

We have visitors.

- Uh, hi. - Who are you?

Sir, we were just, um, mountain climbing and--

Young lady, do you realize

you're trespassing on private property?

I'm sorry, but we just wanted to let you know

that your magnet almost caused a helicopter crash.

You see, Dr. Shamon?

As I said, we should be more careful.

We will be, Madame Labonne, after I get all the gold.

[Wendy] Well, that's all we wanted to tell you.

Now, if you'll just, um, show us the way out.

Getting out of here is a most complicated procedure.

We're very busy at the moment.

I can't spare anyone to accompany you.

Doctor, you can't keep these young people here all night.

- They've got to get home. - I didn't invite them.

They'll have to stay until after we've sky-mined

the remainder of the space gold.

Very well. But I still think we're going ahead too fast.

There could be dangerous consequences.

I'll worry about the consequences.

You keep the youngsters out of my way.

You mean, a little while ago

these two nuggets were just space dust?

That is right, Wendy. We call it sky mining.

Man, that's really neat.

Hold it, Robin. This ledge may be weak.

I'd better test it.

Seems strong enough.

I think it'll hold the two of us.

Batman, look, down there. Cables.

[Batman] Obviously, Robin, there's a cable-car terminal

beneath this ledge. Hmm, very interesting.

Why would anyone build a cable-car station

halfway up a cliff? Where could it lead?

[Batman] Good question, Robin.

I was about to voice the same query.

[narrator] Halfway up the steep mountain trail

a puff of mist floats down from the sky

and a tiny rabbit becomes its first victim.

[sniffing]

[rumbling]

Holy cottontails. It must be eight feet tall.

How'd it get so big?

That's something we'll investigate

after we've investigated a way to get off this ledge.

You're right, if that hair-raising hare

ever hopped on this slab of rock--

It would snap. It's too weak to hold that kind of weight.

Great blazes, it's coming toward us.

[Robin] The path's our only way back

and the rabbit's blocking it.

One more hippity-hop and he'll land on this ledge.

We gotta act fast, Batman.

Robin, use your Bat-a-rang.

Do as I do.

Good thinking, Batman.

From here, we can climb down to the valley.

It's our bat communicators.

[Superman over radio] This is Superman. Where are you?

At Mystery Mountain, which I can assure you is well-named.

Superman, we just saw a rabbit eight feet tall.

[Superman] Come to the Justice League Hall immediately.

That giant rabbit you saw is only one example

of the weird things happening all over the world.

[Superman] The Troub-Alert is going wild.

[Batman] Right, Man of Steel.

We'll be on our way as soon as we round up the kids.

[Wonder Woman] Superman, look what's happening here.

That elephant blew up like a balloon.

Great Scott!

[narrator] Far off in the African jungle

a puff of green mist has made an elephant grow

to twice his normal size.

And now a red mist descends on an unsuspecting giraffe.

Because the red and green mists

are not visible to the human eye

the Super Friends are completely baffled

by the strange phenomenon.

We must find the cause of these distortions.

[Wonder Woman] Aquaman, look what's happening underwater.

[Aquaman] Galloping guppies

that lobster must be 50 feet long.

[Wonder Woman] Those lights up ahead. isn't that the oceanography sea lab?

Yes, if that giant lobster reaches it

and uses that monster claw, great Neptune.

See you later, Super Friends.

I've gotta do some speed swimming.

Have any human beings been affected, Wonder Woman?

No. Apparently, human beings are immune.

- But look at this. - That's in southern California.

An orange grove.

[Wonder Woman] It's obviously affecting trees and plants too.

Great Aphrodite, look at that orange tree grow.

[Superman] It's the size of a redwood.

Uh-oh, and some of those branches

are over the farm buildings.

I'd better get there fast.

It's a good thing Wendy and Marvin know our Bat-code.

Climb down mountain.

Meet us at Bat-copter. Acknowledge.

[Robin] No answer. Maybe they didn't see it.

I'll keep flashing this message until they do.

We've got to get them off that mountain.

[narrator] But the caped crusader

flashes his message in vain

unaware that his young friends are inside that mountain.

Look how much gold dust is left in that space cloud.

Doctor, we're dealing with strange, unidentified matter.

For all we know, our first two sky-mining attempts

may already be causing serious problems in our atmosphere.

Serious problems for others, perhaps, but not for me.

When I have finished, I'll be the richest man in the world.

Doctor, you have no conscience.

I can no longer work for a man such as you.

Au revoir, Dr. Shamon.

Children, follow me.

You may be sure, Dr. Shamon

that I shall report your activities

to the proper authorities.

Oh, she'll report me to the authorities, will she?

Well, not until after I've collected all the space gold.

Oh, wow, a cable car. Groovy.

Step inside, s'il vous plait. You too, Wonder Animal.

[yelping]

Marvin, hold the brake on the cable car

while I start it.

Alright. Now you may release the brake.

Wild.

No harm will come to them.

They'll be bored and impatient for a few hours, but safe.

Then I'll let them continue across.

By that time, I'll have more gold than Fort Knox.

[laughing]

[Wonder Dog gasping]

Oh, no. This is no place to get out and walk.

Gee, I guess the motor must have conked out.

We're only halfway across.

It wasn't the motor.

The only thing that conked out is Dr. Shamon's integrity.

[Wendy] You think he deliberately stopped the car?

- I am absolutely positive. - Oh, great.

'Cause we came with some friends

and they're gonna wonder where we are.

Friends?

The dynamic duo

Batman and Robin.

You know the caped crusaders?

Sure. We know all the Super Friends.

The Super Friends, eh?

Those are the very people who should be told about Dr. Shamon.

That's easy, we'll introduce you to Batman and Robin

once we get out of here.

Why wait that long?

Mon dieu, the caped crusader.

Make that plural.

[Batman] Sky-mining, eh?

Well, my dear madame, it's unfortunate

Dr. Shamon didn't heed your advice.

We'll deal with him later.

Right now, Robin and I must return

to the Hall of Justice League, posthaste.

Right. We've received an emergency call.

How are we gonna get off this cable car?

- We can't climb down. - You can't, but I can.

Robin, you remain here while I fetch the Bat-copter.

Au revoir.

[narrator] With the skillful judgment of a super pilot

Batman maneuvers the copter alongside the cable car

and rescues his friends from the stranded sky vehicle.

We'd better make sky tracks, Batman.

We wouldn't wanna get caught again by Dr. Shamon's U.

[narrator] Faster than a speeding bullet

the Man of Steel streaks through the California sky

toward the now towering orange tree.

In the orange grove

a night breeze causes the branches to sway.

And high above the farm buildings

a gigantic orange snaps its stem.

Great Scott, that farmhouse.

Just in time.

Hm, I can't spend the night here waiting for oranges to drop.

Only one way to get them all down at the same time.

Hard to get a good grip, but...

Ah, here it comes.

Say, might as well bring Wonder Woman a little gift.

Heh, I mean a big gift.

Up, up and away.

[narrator] In the darkness of the ocean's depths

the gigantic lobster foraging for food

crawls closer and closer to the sea lab.

Look at those claws.

I'd hate to see our ocean home

crushed by that crustacean.

[narrator] With the speed of a barracuda

Aquaman streaks through the water

to try to prevent an undersea catastrophe.

Moving a 50-foot lobster's going to require

some very large muscles

and I don't mean clams.

[narrator] Aquaman's telepathic SOS reaches three powerful whales

who answer his call for aid.

But at that moment, a red mist floats down

from the surface above

and lands on one of the sea pachyderms.

Okay, big boys. I have a job for you.

Tow him toward the coral reef.

Thanks, you two.

By the beard of Poseidon, what's this?

You're a whale?

A miniaturized whale?

But how? You poor thing.

Hmm, a giant lobster and a 12-inch whale.

This must not be allowed to continue.

It could ruin the ecological balance of the sea.

Little fella, you're coming with me.

[Batman] Wonder Woman, this is Madame Labonne.

She may have a clue as to what's been going on.

Well, it seems something in the air

is affecting the growth mechanism of living things.

Not all creatures have been affected.

It is possible the mysterious element isn't everywhere.

We might learn something if we could examine

one of the plants or creatures that have been exposed.

Wonder Woman, your wish is my command.

Superman.

Wow, that's really a whale of an orange.

[Aquaman] Speaking of whales

here's one that's now something of a shrimp.

[Wendy] Oh, poor little whale.

It's only 12 inches long.

That can't be a real whale.

It's a whale.

Hmm, another victim of the unknown element.

If I could take those specimens into your lab and test them...

Certainly. I'm a trained scientist, I'll work with you.

I strongly suspect these are the aftereffects

of Dr. Shamon's sky-mining.

Good luck on your research.

Superman, over here, quick.

Under the water tank.

That elm tree, it's growing.

[Superman] Right, and if it doesn't stop

it'll topple the tank.

- Emergency? - Yes.

And I hope it's not a slippery elm.

Well, Batman, that just leaves us to deal with Dr. Shamon.

You know, we've never met Dr. Shamon.

I hope we can convince him.

Don't worry, crusaders.

I'm buddy-buddy with the doc. He'll listen to me.

I don't think so, Super-Marv

because we're not taking you with us.

Too risky. See you later.

Ah, pistachios.

Like I keep telling you, Wendy

grown-ups think kids can't do anything.

I'm gonna start a kids' lib movement.

[muttering]

Yeah, dog lib too, Wonder Dog.

Look, Wendy, are we gonna let them

do all the work and take all the glory?

Right, we may not be grown-up, but we can at least help.

Our bikes are parked downstairs.

Let's ride to Mystery Mountain.

Hmm, the dynamic duo coming up the mountain.

They're going to try to close down my sky-mining operation.

Quickly now, send up the U.

Now, we tilt the magnet

down toward the Batmobile.

Those dynamic dimwits.

They forget, a magnet does not only attract

but by reversing the polarity, I can make my magnet repel.

Holy horseshoes. It's the Shamon U. It's repelling us.

[Batman] A very astute deduction, Teen Wonder.

[Robin] The magnet's pushing us backwards.

How much farther, Wendy?

A mile, maybe three.

A mile, maybe three?

What happened to two?

I figure we're too close to be two miles away.

And if we're not that close

then we're too far to be two miles away.

Huh?

I guess you can't argue with that kind of logic.

Hold up, Wendy. I got a blowout.

M-Marvin, you may have had a blowout

but Wonder Dog's had a blowup.

[grunting]

Hey, that's terrific, I guess.

Wow, you're really a wonder, Wonder.

Say, you can be a great help in our work.

Speaking of work, we'd better get to Mystery Mountain.

The caped crusaders may be in trouble.

Hey, Wendy, this is cool.

I feel like a maharajah on an elephant.

Forward, Jumbo.

[Robin] I'd say it's at least 30 feet.

I'll try the Bat-line.

No good.

In this situation, our Bat-lines are useless.

Maybe not, Batman.

If I climb to these high branches

I can whip my Bat-line across

into one of the trees on the slope.

Good idea. I'll catch the loose end when it falls.

- Hey, what's... - Great blazes.

It's growing and taking Robin with it.

Hang on, Robin. I'll get you down.

These Batcups should do it.

Can't even see him. I'd better act fast.

Alright, Jumbo. This is where we get off.

[Wonder Dog grunting]

Thanks for the lift, Wonder.

Next time, how about some in-flight movies? Ha, ha.

Look. What's that?

It's a tree and it's growing fast

the way Wonder Dog did.

[Wendy] Somebody's up in it. Why, it's Robin.

He's in trouble. We've gotta get him out of that tree.

If we climb to the other side of the mountain

he can throw his Bat-line to us and slide down.

What're we waiting for? Let's climb.

Holy Jack and the Beanstalk.

I'm really getting up in the world.

Pretty soon, this tree will be as high as those cables.

The cables. Say, thanks, tree.

You're taking me just where I want to go.

Good boy, Robin.

While he tries the cable-car entrance

I'll try entering from the top.

[Shamon laughing] I believe that's the last

we'll see of the Batmobile.

They wouldn't dare drive up again.

And it's my guess they'll climb to the summit

to try to break through the trap doors, ha, ha.

If they try that, they'll have quite a surprise.

Those heavy steel doors are locked into place.

It's impossible to open them from outside.

Ah, but how about from inside?

I'll just cool it here until Batman reaches the summit.

Holy King Midas. The kids were right.

This is solid gold.

Nothing but grass.

Gotta hand it to Shamon. A perfect job of camouflage.

Ah, I can feel the seam between the two steel plates.

Let's see if I can break it open.

[clanking]

Mr. Jumping-Jack is wasting his time.

[laughing]

If only those characters would move away

from the trap-door controls.

That's it, Batman. Save your strength.

The poor crusaders. They got tired.

Aching feet, no doubt.

Well, if they try that again,

the laser gun will take care of them.

No use. Can't pry them open.

I need a crowbar.

A good stout tree branch should do the trick.

Hmm, they're not on the summit.

Well, if they come back, let's see how they'll handle this.

Uh-oh, that laser beam's drilling a hole

in the trap doors.

This is where it all started with those flying soda cans.

Yeah, zip, up they went. Hey, look.

[Wendy] I guess Dr. Shamon is still sky-mining.

Uh-oh, if we're gonna help Robin off the tree

we've got to cross that summit to get to the steep side.

Well, maybe the laser beam will be off

by the time we get up there.

Let's keep climbing.

He's stuck, I guess from here on

the trail's too narrow for Wonder Dog.

Uh-oh. Score one for your side, Shamon.

I don't dare go near that laser beam.

I just hope Robin's alright.

Sorry, Batman, no one gets in

without an invitation. Ha-ha-ha.

Well, he'll get an invitation from me.

What's that?

[Shamon] Stop him. He's going to open the trap doors.

The caped crusader.

Sorry if I'm early.

Thanks, chum. You alright?

Never better, Batman. I've been having a ball.

Two of them, as a matter of fact, and both solid gold.

Hmm. So those are the troublemakers.

Well, shall we have our little rap session

with the good doctor?

Do we need an appointment? Let's go.

Hurry, men. Into the secret tunnel.

Look for a switch or a button.

Maybe it's an electric eye beam.

That man is a diabolical genius.

If he gets away, he'll come back to haunt us another day.

Keep looking.

This leads out onto the mountainside.

Wendy, there's just no way to get Wonder Dog

over the mountain.

I wish there was a way to go through it.

[Wonder Dog yelping]

Funny, I've never seen those trees before.

Aah! It's the Yeti, the abominable mountain creature.

Back, men. Back, run!

Why, that was Dr. Shamon and his assistants.

And this must lead to the lab. Come on.

Wonder Dog, can you get through there?

[grunting]

I give up, Robin. I can't find the control.

Me neither, Batman.

I guess you've gotta know the magic words.

Magic words?

You know, like, "Open sesame."

Holy Ali Baba.

It wasn't sesame that opened it, Robin. It was Shamon.

Save us. Protect us, please.

Save you? From what?

You'll see, the abominable mountain creature.

A huge giant. It's coming after us.

It's coming through the tunnel?

Yes, yes. Save me, Batman.

And I promise you I won't do any more sky-mining.

That's a deal. Alright. How big is this creature?

Ten feet tall.

What'll we use, Batman? The laser gun?

Only as a last resort.

If this is a Yeti, it's a rare creature.

For the sake of science, I'd like to capture it alive.

How? It's 10 feet tall.

I'll fashion my Bat-line into a lasso.

You man the laser gun, just in case.

Right. I'll wait for your signal.

[snarling]

Robin, hold everything. It's Wonder Dog.

Sorry, Wonder Dog.

We thought you were an abominable creature.

[snarling]

[Robin] What I mean is, you grew some.

[Wonder Dog growling]

All clear, Dr. Shamon.

It's safe to come out now.

[Shamon] You mean some mysterious element in the air

is making things grow this size?

[Wendy] Yes. And it makes some things smaller.

[Batman] Madame Labonne's theory is that the mystery element

was created by your sky-mining process.

[Shamon] I'm sorry. I should've listened to her.

Very well, no more sky-mining.

I'll be satisfied with my two nuggets of gold.

What two nuggets, doctor?

W-What's happening to them?

Now we know it's not just animals and plants.

The mystery element also affects the stuff it came from

these gold nuggets.

Like I said before, what gold nuggets?

Oh, no, no!

[whimpering]

[narrator] Back at their home base the caped crusaders

and the kids check the SDI screen.

Batman, let's see if Superman's moved that growing tree

from under the water tank.

Sure.

That's a switch. He didn't uproot the tree.

He moved the tank.

[narrator] Suddenly, the door of the Justice League lab bursts open.

Madame Labonne and Wonder Woman rush to the others.

[Wonder Woman] We've isolated the mystery element.

It contains some unknown gas molecules

in very strange atomic structures.

We've named it Shamonite.

There are two types, Shamonite red and Shamonite green.

The green type makes things grow.

- What do you call it? - Shamonite, Wendy.

Because our tests prove this was created

by Dr. Shamon's experiments.

Well, you won't have to worry anymore about Dr. Shamon.

- He's closed up shop. - Yes, Robin.

But that cloud is still out there in space

but too near Earth.

For safety's sake, it had better be moved away.

I'll contact Superman.

[Labonne] Then Wonder Woman and I

will go back to our lab work.

We still must find a way to neutralize the Shamonite

that's already in our atmosphere.

It can still cause a lot of trouble.

Calling Superman.

Caped crusader calling the Man of Steel.

[narrator] Having received Batman's message

concerning the space cloud

the Man of Steel hurtles through the night

toward the lowlands of Holland.

From an abandoned windmill, Superman borrows

an entire set of vanes

and streaks into the sky with them.

Up, up into the stratosphere.

So this is Dr. Shamon's gold mine in the sky.

Just about in the center of it.

Here goes. Watch my dust.

That does it for the cloud with the golden lining.

[Batman] Well, that takes care of the cloud in space.

Now I only hope Madame Labonne and Wonder Woman

can solve the problem here on Earth.

Yeah, but before they do,

I wish some of that Shamonite would land on me.

Wow, I'd like to be big and strong like Wonder Dog.

Now, that's what I really call super.

Say, you know what, fellas?

There's something funny about this.

You saw the giant rabbit.

It was here at Mystery Mountain.

The lobster was here, near the East Coast.

By that time, it was dark on the West Coast too

where the orange tree grew.

And in Africa, where the giraffe got small

it wasn't morning yet there.

- So? - Don't you see?

All those freaky things happened only in places

where it was nighttime.

Great blazes, Wendy.

That's a remarkable observation.

She's right. Only in the night hemisphere.

No reports from China or Japan.

Maybe a very important clue.

Wendy, that was an example of super brainwork.

[Labonne] Gentlemen.

We have something.

There is a way to cancel out

the dangerous effects of Shamonite.

We find certain radiation can change its atomic structure.

And that radiation can be found in ordinary sunlight?

Yes. Who told you that?

A bright, young lady named Wendy.

We have also discovered that humans are not affected

because of our superior intellect.

Human brain vibrations are strong enough

to ward off the mist.

But we've got to do something about the Shamonite

that's still in the air. It must receive that sunlight.

Why don't we just sit tight until the sun rises?

That'll clear up everything.

It will, but we can't wait that long.

It will be several hours before the sun comes up.

Until then, the Shamonite floating around

may cause more trouble than we can handle.

We've got to find a way to bring sunlight

to the dark side of the Earth, immediately.

Holy topsy-turvy. That means turning night into day.

Oh, simple, all you have to do is, uh...

I mean, if you gather up all the, uh...

Listen, this problem requires a lot of thought.

Incredible as it may seem, Marvin.

- You're right about one thing. - I am?

Uh, what did I say?

You said this problem requires a lot of thought.

And that's absolutely correct.

Super Friends, to the think tank.

This is where we are.

Robin's light is in the present position of the sun.

The Earth is turning slowly in this direction.

Therefore, our problem is how to reflect this beam of sunlight

in such a way as to direct it to the dark side.

If Superman were to carry a huge reflector into space

just about here. Hmm.

Wendy, do you have a pocket mirror?

Sure, Batman. It's one of those magnifying mirrors.

[Batman] Perfect. Thank you.

At this point in space, Superman could catch the sunlight

and redirect it downward

toward Earth's dark side, like this.

As you can see, we can't light the entire dark side at once

but Superman can move the beam back and forth

until it clears the air of Shamonite.

- Is it agreed? - It's well worth a try.

I'll contact Superman immediately.

[narrator] Moments later, in the mountaintop laboratory

where Dr. Shamon is dismantling his sky-mining instruments

the doctor receives an unexpected visitor.

Superman. Now, look.

I'm not going to do any more sky-mining.

Excellent. Dr. Shamon, I've come to ask a favor of you.

Anything, anything.

I've caused trouble out there

and I want to help if I possibly can.

You have, and you can.

I'd like to borrow the reflecting mirror

in your telescope for just one hour.

Why, yes.

Thank you, Dr. Shamon.

Up, up and away.

[narrator] Reaching the designated position in space

the Man of Steel glances down

at the tiny blue sphere known as Earth.

Then up at the distant sun.

Good old Mother Earth.

Well, let's throw a little light on the subject.

Goodbye, Shamonite.

[narrator] Far below in the African jungle

the tiny giraffe begins growing back to normal height.

Beneath the ocean's surface

the giant lobster shrinks to its proper length

and swims happily away.

Throughout the night

Superman's reflected ray of sunshine

returns the animals and the plants to their natural state.

At the Hall of the Justice League

a group peers expectantly into the night.

[Wonder Dog grunting]

[Wendy] He's right. Here comes the daylight ray.

Zonkers, that's really something else.

Yeah, like an eclipse, but in reverse.

The daylight ray.

It's bringing him back to normal size.

[whimpering]

Poor Wonder, I guess he really enjoyed

being as big as an elephant.

No use fighting it, Wonder.

You're going back from pachyderm to pooch.

Pachyderm?

- The whale. - Huh?

- The whale? - Great blazes.

That tiny whale is in the center of the lab

not too close to the windows.

But if the daylight ray got to him...

Excuse me.

Batman, look, it's shrinking.

Never mind the orange. The whale.

Oh, my, it's been shielded by that clamshell

and did not receive the full effect of the daylight ray.

Yes, it's growing back rather slowly now.

But within the next 60 seconds...

In 60 seconds, it'll break the walls down.

Clear the way.

Stand back, everyone. Stand back.

In a few seconds, there'll be no room out there.

Robin, block off all traffic on this street.

[crowd chattering]

Captain, I'm afraid a tractor isn't the answer.

- If you tow it away-- - You'll hurt the poor thing.

Look, daddy, it's a bird.

- It's a plane. - No, it's Superman.

I'd say you have a whale of a problem here.

But don't worry, captain, I'll take care of it.

Alright, big boy. It's back to the deep blue for you.

[narrator] With muscles of steel

Superman lifts the gigantic whale

and transports it back to its home in the sea.

Madame Labonne, I prepared this dinner in your honor.

You were the one who really alerted the world

to the danger of Dr. Shamon's experiments.

[applause]

Please, I don't deserve applause.

I was merely doing my duty as a good citizen.

I have always felt it is wrong and dangerous

to upset the ecological balance of nature.

Mm. Terrific, Wendy. This fruit cup is out of sight.

Great Neptune.

Great Scott.

Great blazes.

Holy Shamonite.

Huh? What's wrong, fellas?

Hey, what's happening to me?

- Oh. - I'm growing.

Boy, this is fantastic.

Hey, Super Friends, wait till I'm giant size.

I'll show you fellas what super really means.

Oh, wow, look at me.

[all laughing]

How's the weather up there, Super-Marv?

Like Madame Labonne said

you can't fool around with Mother Nature.

Help!

[all laughing]
