Original subtitles

[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 honking]

Wonder Woman.

Batman.

Aquaman.

And those three junior Superfriends

Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog.

Their mission, to fight injustice

to right that which is wrong and to serve all mankind.

[traffic bustling]

Whoo. Look at all the overheated cars, Wendy.

At least it's always cool at the Gotham City Museum.

- I'll race you inside. - Not in this heat, Marvin.

[growls]

What's the matter, Wonder Dog?

[grunting]

Marvin, what is it?

I- I don't know.

[male narrator] At Justice League headquarters

the TroubAlert flashes wildly

warning the on-duty members of the Justice League

of impending danger.

The Gotham City Museum is under attack.

The museum is being attacked? By whom?

It says here, "Attacked by a giant plant."

Batman and Robin are in that area.

[beeping]

Batman here. What's that, Aquaman?

We'll take care of it right away.

[male narrator] While Batman and Robin race to the scene

the Gotham City Museum is being engulfed

by an enormous undulating ivy plant.

Holy hothouse. Batman, look at that.

[male narrator] Will Robin and Batman be able to save

the Gotham City Museum's valuable art treasures?

Batman, the museum is going to be destroyed.

Let's go.

Can you give me a hand, Batman?

[male narrator] Batman and Robin, realizing their strength

is no match for the giant ivy

turned the wildly growing plant's own strength

against itself. A case of sheer mind over matter.

Robin, this ivy plant should have been transplanted long ago.

What could've caused this Ivy League monster

to freak out like that?

- I don't know. - They did it, Marvin.

You shouldn't have stopped me, Wendy. I could've helped them.

The best way you could help them was by staying out of their way.

Now, come on. Let's go talk to them.

[male narrator] As Marvin, Wendy and Wonder Dog

leave to join their Superfriends

a strange figure is seen standing nearby.

A man oddly dressed for the sudden

scorching heat of this day.

The world-famous Justice League

Hall of Fame and photo exhibit.

Here, displayed as a lesson for those who would do wrong

are the mementos and weapons of the world's

most clever criminals.

All of whom were unsuccessful in their attempts

to defeat the members of the Justice League of America.

Wendy, look.

It's a photo of the giant plant at the museum

that came from the SDI screen.

Someday, you'll be hanging pictures of me

and Wonder Dog up there.

[chuckles] Why?

Are you two planning on turning into giant plants?

Oh, go ahead and laugh.

Someday, Wonder Dog and I are going to be

famous superheroes.

- Aren't we, Wonder Dog? - Yeah!

If you don't spend more time on your homework

the only thing super you'll be is super stupid.

[alarm ringing]

Uh-oh. Something's wrong.

I'll say. And it's sure getting awfully hot in here.

- Do you see anything? - No, there doesn't seem...

Holy smokes, Wendy.

[Wendy] The wax figures are melting.

[Marvin] The air conditioning's overheated.

We better get the costumes out before they're ruined.

Come on, we haven't a second to waste.

I never thought I'd see the day I'd be saving Superman.

[grunting]

[male narrator] Meanwhile, in the Hall of the Justice League

the Superfriends are also busy.

[beeping]

Great Scott.

- Holy confusion. - It's unbelievable.

If those crumbling glaciers aren't stopped

whole continents will be swamped.

- Great Hera. - What is it, Wonder Woman?

That's Dairy Land.

[Robin] Dairy Land? It looks like a desert.

Dairy Land used to be the lushest

greenest farmland in America.

The heat wave has dried up all the water.

Those people will need help.

- Water for the animals. - I'll handle this one.

Batman, where's everybody going?

This terrible heat wave

is causing problems all over the world.

You better believe it, even the air conditioner

in the Justice League Hall of Fame broke down.

Why has it suddenly become so hot?

I don't know, Wendy. Something strange is going on.

Something very strange and unnatural.

[instrumental music]

Thanks, friends. I'll get off here.

[male narrator] Rising waters from the melting glaciers

threaten to destroy the buildings and ships

of this important Pacific island.

Aquaman uses mental telepathy,

calling his ocean friends for help.

Responding to Aquaman's signal

the great beasts rush to protect the stricken island

forming a living breakwater against the ocean's fury.

It works. The island is saved.

Well done, my ocean friends.

[male narrator] Dairy Land, in the heart of America

has also fallen victim

to the incredible searing heat wave.

Its clear blue lakes have dried to parched mud.

Its cornfields lie barren and wasted

reduced to desert sand.

But help is on its way

as Wonder Woman nears the scene in her transparent plane.

Wonder Woman, am I glad to see you.

We certainly need your help.

The heat, it's fused the valves shut on our water tower.

Can't get it open.

Stand back, please.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

It's bone dry.

The water has plumb evaporated.

I'll get water somewhere.

Meanwhile, to your homes. Remain calm and quiet.

You must preserve your body moisture until I get back.

[male narrator] Using her telepathic powers

Wonder Woman summons her transparent plane.

Meanwhile, at the top of the world

the intense heat whittles away at the melting North Pole.

High above the polar cap

Superman, with his telescopic vision

spots a group of Eskimos fleeing their village

which lies in the path of an impending avalanche.

[clamoring]

[crashing]

[male narrator] The Man of Steel quickly dives

to rescue the frail Eskimo dwellings.

[splashing]

[rumbling]

[Wonder Woman] Superman.

Superman, Dairy Land needs water desperately.

Coming right up, Wonder Woman.

[male narrator] Superman, realizing that millions of gallons

of fresh water lie frozen in the Arctic glacier

smashes the polar cliff into gigantic ice cubes.

Would you like them gift wrapped and delivered?

No, thanks. I can handle it.

They're all yours. See you back at headquarters.

Up, up and away.

First time I ever played cowgirl to a bunch of ice cubes.

Let's go, gift of Hera.

It's going to take all your strength

to haul this icy payload.

[male narrator] Concentrating on the task at hand

Wonder Woman uses her telepathic powers

to command her transparent plane to do her bidding.

[instrumental music]

Now, what is that?

[thudding]

[indistinct chatter]

Thank you, Athena. I arrived in time.

- Thank you, ma'am. - Thank you, Wonder Woman.

[indistinct chatter]

[male narrator] Meanwhile, back at the Justice League Hall of Fame.

There. That's the last of it.

Marvin, you've been wearing Robin's mask all morning.

Now stop messing around and give me a hand.

Alright, alright.

[sighs]

Let's get these things packed away

before something else happens to them.

What's the rush, I mean, what else

could possibly happen to them?

Hey, maybe the heat wave is over.

- Why do you say that? - Because it's raining.

Raining? Inside this building?

- What happened? - The heat!

It must have set off the automatic fire sprinklers.

[Marvin] Stand back. I've been waiting for this moment.

Now you're really gonna see something.

My super automatic auto jack.

- But, Marvin, we only have to-- - Silence, girl.

The super genius you see before you

is going to have himself raised to the ceiling.

All I have to do is turn off the sprinkler heads.

Wonder Dog, if you please.

Up, up and away.

You see, Wendy? There's nothing to worry about.

All I have to do is plug up the sprinklers.

Hey!

Marvin, all you had to do

was turn the water off here at this valve.

Well, why didn't you tell me about that before?

I tried to, but you wouldn't listen.

[laughing]

[computer beeping]

There's a CDQ on the SDI screen.

- Someone wants us. - It's Colonel Wilcox.

Good morning, everyone.

I need to see you as soon as possible

at the city observatory on Mount Whitmore.

We are facing a possible catastrophe.

No doubt that catastrophe has to do with the strange heat wave?

It's even worse than that.

I'll explain everything when you arrive, but hurry.

Holy mysteries, what do you suppose can be worse

than what's been happening?

I don't know, but we'd better get over there right away.

[male narrator] The Superfriends proceed to the city observatory

where they are about to hear some shocking news.

I'd like you to meet Professor Von Knowalot.

Professor, these are the members

of the Justice League of America.

I am pleased to meet all of you.

Excuse me one moment.

Oh, gentlemen, Miss Wonder Woman

we have to work fast.

As you probably know, the Earth has been experiencing

a strange and catastrophic heat wave.

The world's top scientists, like Professor Knowalot

have been working around the clock to discover the cause

of this mysterious atmospheric condition.

Colonel Wilcox, you said we were facing something worse

than just a terrible heat wave.

Yes, Superman. Our Earth is being moved out of its orbit.

Howling hurricanes, Colonel Wilcox.

[Wilcox] I'm afraid the force being exerted on our planet

is a billion times more powerful than a hurricane.

And we don't have a clue as to its cause.

[Wilcox] Not yet.

In that case, Colonel Wilcox

I would assume that temperatures

will keep rising at an alarming rate.

Unless we find a way to stop the drift of the Earth.

- Exactly. - How do we do that?

We don't know yet, but we better find out fast

because time is running out.

Hmm. Hmm.

What're you doing to those Photostats from the SDI screen?

Wendy, look at this. This guy here.

Kind of odd to be wearing all those hot clothes

in a heat wave, wouldn't you say?

Look. He's in this photo too.

Here he is again. That one.

Marvin, that man was present at all the heat-wave calamities.

What does it mean?

I bet somehow he's responsible.

Come on, we've got to tell the Superfriends.

You see, here is a model of our solar system.

The sun.

The planet Mercury.

Venus.

Third from the sun is our own Earth.

And then, of course, Mars and the rest of the planets.

As you know, all the planets revolve around the sun

staying in their precise orbits

because of a delicate balance.

A balance between the sun's gravitational pull

of the planets and the centrifugal force

trying to pull the planets away

as they speed around the sun.

If this delicate balance between

the Earth and the sun was upset

we might fly away from our own solar system.

Or fall closer to the sun, professor?

Aha! Precisely, Superman.

The Earth is getting warmer

because it is actually getting closer to the sun.

Holy cosmic crisis.

[instrumental music]

Excuse me, Superman, can I see you a second?

In just a moment, Wendy.

The professor is explaining something very important.

Now, let me show you something.

This is where the Earth was 24 hours ago.

And this is where it is right now.

How is that possible, Professor Von Knowalot?

We don't know.

But somehow we've got to find out. Soon.

Yes, by tomorrow at this time

the Earth's temperature will be nearly 115 degrees.

And what about the day after tomorrow?

[Von Knowalot] If the Earth keeps moving closer to the sun at this rate.

[Robin] Holy smokes.

We'd better think of something. And fast...

That's why I asked you here.

Aren't there any clues to the cause, Professor Von Knowalot?

Nothing so far, Wendy.

But we've been setting up some experiments.

I'll show you our computer room.

[male narrator] In another room of the observatory.

[grunts]

[yelping]

- What's the matter with him? - He wants us to come with him.

Maybe he saw something.

A little mouse maybe, Wonder Dog?

[grumbles]

[Marvin] A big mouse?

- A fat mouse? - A cold fat mouse?

[Wendy] Oh! The man in the photo.

[grunting]

Wendy, here in the observatory?

Come on, let's go find him.

Marvin, we'd better go tell the Superfriends.

[Marvin] But we don't have time.

Marvin, we'll just get into trouble again.

Now, I promised Batman we'd stay out of trouble.

Oh, come on, we won't go far.

Just see if we can catch up to him.

I don't like this.

Your ideas are always getting us into messes

I have to get us out of.

[grunts]

- I don't see anything. - Let me see.

There he is. Over there.

Yeah, the temperature must be nearly 90 in here

and look how he's dressed.

Let's go tell the Superfriends.

We can't take the time. We might lose him.

What about magnetism?

Magnetism, of course. That could be our answer.

Professor Von Knowalot, has there been any

significant increase in magnetism lately?

Magnetism is very high on our list of possible causes.

I am running a check on it

with this computerized data collector.

[whirring]

- This is remarkable. - What is it?

A strange new wave of magnetism

is indeed drawing the Earth toward the sun.

- How can we stop it, professor? - I don't know yet.

We'd better hurry, professor.

The way the temperature's rising, there isn't much time.

[instrumental music]

There he goes.

- He's gone. - That door.

[Wendy] Wow.

Some sort of botanical garden

with an old-fashioned fire engine.

Yeah. Well, I guess he got away.

[male narrator] Having lost sight of the strange,

warmly dressed man

Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog

return to find the Superfriends

with Professor Von Knowalot and Colonel Wilcox

in the observatory's Pendulum Room.

The group studies a magnetism display.

We must reverse the magnetic pull of the Earth.

But how?

If we could send a coil of copper wire

whirling about the Earth at tremendous speed

it could create a counter-magnetic force.

But we don't even have planes that can move that fast.

- So speed is important, eh? - Aha, very important.

We know just the man for the job.

- Flash. - Right, Flash.

The fastest man on earth.

Then we must find him immediately.

There's not a moment to lose. Where's he?

I believe he's on a call for help in India.

I'll find him. Be right back.

[communicator beeping]

Greetings, Kolbar. How is your assignment going?

As we planned, Lupis.

I have just come from the observatory.

The Earth keeps getting closer to the sun.

Good. The time is about right.

We will be seeing you soon.

Take care of yourself and keep warm.

You're our only hope.

Don't worry about me. Over and out.

[Wendy] We lost him here.

Almost like he disappeared in thin air.

Hmm. It certainly seems suspicious.

There must be some connection.

Perhaps. Show me the photographs.

- Show her the photos, Wendy. - Me? I thought you had them.

I don't have them. Wonder Dog?

[grunts]

We must've dropped them inside.

Come on, Marvin. What are you waiting for?

There's something strange out here.

- What? - I don't know.

But it seems like something is missing.

Not a bad likeness, I think.

[male narrator] In India, the intense heat wave

has created a thermo-geophysical shockwave.

The resulting earthquake is dangerously shaking

the Indian sacred shrine, the Taj Mahal.

To the rescue comes the world's

fastest human being, the Flash.

Hurry, Flash.

That's what I do best, Mr. Singh.

I fear we are too late. All is lost.

On the contrary, Mr. Singh.

There you are, Mr. Singh.

I almost would not have believed it

if I had not seen it with my own eyes.

- Flash, we need your help. - What's the problem, Superman?

You've doubtless noticed that the Earth's temperature

has been rising at an alarming rate.

Mr. Singh certainly has.

Alas, yes. We almost lost our beloved Taj Mahal.

The intense heat created a shockwave.

And the resulting earthquake

really shook that beautiful structure.

Unless we stop the rising temperatures, Flash

we'll have more serious problems than that.

Whenever you're ready, Superman.

Up, up and away.

Right behind you, Superman.

Amazing.

Okay, professor, what do you want me to do?

The professor has suggested we create

a magnetic field around the Earth

with a force equal to that coming from the sun.

It would counteract the sun's pull.

That's correct, thus, like two magnets

situated with facing identical polarities

they will be repelled from each other.

The Earth will return to its original orbit.

So, Flash, with you carrying a coil of copper wire

and speeding around the Earth.

I'll generate the magnetic force we need.

I'm ready.

Here you are, speedy.

Well, I'm off. I'll have this wrapped up in a flash.

[male narrator] Racing around the Earth as only he can

the Flash continues to increase his velocity

till he's but a mere blur to the naked eye.

Circling the globe at unbelievable speed

the repelling force begins.

[theme music]

[male narrator] Meanwhile, on a small volcanic island in the Pacific

where Kolbar has established his laboratory.

- Kolbar? - I'm here, Lupis.

Progress report.

Everything is going according to plan.

You have had no problems, then?

- No interference? Good. - None.

Then I will prepare our people for the journey to Earth.

You can tell them they can start the journey in three days.

By that time, the temperature will be hot enough

for us to live in comfort once more.

What is the temperature now, Kolbar?

The mean temperature on Earth today is...

What is wrong, Kolbar?

The temperature is dropping. I can't understand why.

Say, the temperature appears to be dropping.

Yes, three degrees in the last few minutes.

A few more times around the Earth

and Flash will have the job done.

There it goes. Down another degree.

What is happening now, Kolbar?

The temperature is still dropping.

And you cannot find the cause?

I'm searching, Lupis. I'm searching.

[Von Knowalot] I believe Mr. Flash has done it.

He is really something, that Flash.

Did I hear someone call my name? Sorry I took so long.

But I had to stop for a red light.

Great job, Flash.

It worked. We're moving away from the sun.

Well done, Flash, you have the personal thanks

of the entire department.

You had better do something quickly, Kolbar.

- Time is running out. - What shall I do?

I've got the solar robot running at full magnetic power now.

Then switch to the quadratronic nth-degree charge.

- And hurry. - Are you sure, Lupis?

- That could be dangerous. - We have no choice.

We must.

[whirring]

Marvin, there's something wrong with your motor scooter.

Holy hotfoot, Wendy.

The road is so hot, it's practically cooking the tires.

Marvin, what's wrong?

The tires are getting stuck to the blacktop.

What will we do?

I guess we'll have to-- Wendy, look.

[Wendy] It's just an old fire engine

like the one at the observatory.

[Marvin] It's the same one.

That's what was missing when we came back

to the garden with Wonder Woman. That's how he got away.

- Where do you suppose he is? - I don't know.

I'll watch the fire engine while you call the Justice League.

Uh-oh! Here he comes.

[male narrator] Seeing Kolbar come out of the weather bureau office

Marvin realizes they must not let him get away again.

Using a piece of paper he finds

on the front seat of the fire engine

Marvin scribbles a hasty note

and entrusts it to Wonder Dog.

[Marvin] Here, Wonder Dog, I'm counting on you

to take this note back to the Justice League.

Don't let me down, old buddy.

[grunts]

They'll feel more at ease knowing

I've got the situation under control.

Wanna bet? Here he comes.

[Marvin] We can't let him get away.

Well, we can't chase after this thing on foot.

Then there's only one thing to do.

Wait a minute, Marvin. I'm not going to climb in there.

I haven't got time to argue, Wendy. Alley-oop.

[instrumental music]

[revving]

Marvin, when this is all over, are you ever gonna get it.

[whizzing]

[panting]

Here, Wonder Dog. I'm counting on you.

[grunting]

[instrumental music]

[grunting]

Wonder Dog, I'm counting on you.

[groans]

[male narrator] And at a distant tropical island

Kolbar's ingenious craft approaches for a landing.

[instrumental music]

- Did you see that? - Yes.

- Where do you think we are? - I don't know.

But let's get out of this thing before he comes back.

Jumping Jupiter, we're on an island.

Look, Marvin, a volcano.

[Marvin] I hope it's not too active.

- It must be. - Why do you say that?

Well, it's probably the only place

that strange man can keep warm.

In a hot active volcano.

Come on, there must be some kind of cave behind these rocks.

See if you can move them.

Won't budge.

Let's look for another way.

[sniffing]

[snarling]

Yes, there is no doubt.

The Earth is again moving on a direct path toward the sun.

Another few trips around the world? It worked before.

I'm afraid it won't work this time, Mr. Flash.

You see, some strange new force

is pulling the Earth toward the sun.

This time, it is not magnetism.

It is some totally unknown kind of power

unlike anything we have here on Earth.

Have you been able to trace the source of the new power?

Yes, Miss Wonder Woman.

It's coming from the far side of the sun.

Then perhaps I'd better take a look.

[male narrator] As Superman speeds toward the sun

for his rendezvous with a powerful as yet unknown foe...

...Marvin and Wendy search for a way

into the mountain hideout.

Like, this is the end of the trail, Wendy.

Do you think that volcano is gonna blow its top?

[Wendy] Well, a lot of volcanoes just keep bubbling away

for hundreds of years without erupting.

Well, let's hope this one's one of them.

Good hoping, Marvin.

And while we're hoping, I hope Wonder Dog's

gotten through with our message.

He will, unless he stops for a pizza

or runs into a garage door.

- That's it. - What's it?

What you said, garage door.

Marvin, I think the heat's getting to you.

No. That rock slid closed just like a garage door.

So it slid closed, Marvin.

But just like the electric-eye door

we have on our garage back home.

My father presses a button in his car and--

You mean, there may be a button in his spaceship

that he pressed to open the mountain.

Like, it's time we checked out that spaceship.

[male narrator] And at that very moment,

inside the vast volcanic hideaway.

Everything is under control. Lupis, we are again on schedule.

Very good, Kolbar.

I knew the quadratronic solar robot would do a good job.

Is it not ironic, Lupis, we, who are capable of creating

such wondrous mechanisms have fallen prey

to a simple calamity of our own making?

But we have learned our lesson, Kolbar.

With this second chance

we shall plan our way of living with greater care.

[beeping]

The solar robot has detected

some kind of disturbance in its vicinity.

Stand by, Lupis. I'll get right back to you.

[male narrator] In outer space, that robot senses a visitor.

[beeping]

Superman. Unbowed, the Man of Steel continues.

And a second fiery challenge hurtles toward him.

[grunting]

And yet another threat from this infernal machine.

The force is devastating but not deadly

as our friend quickly recovers to continue his mission.

[zapping]

Now, with all his mighty strength

Superman literally flings the robot

on a scorching path toward the heat of the sun.

[sizzling]

[crashing]

[crackling]

One of these buttons has to open that door.

[Wendy] But which one? There are so many.

[Marvin] Maybe there's an owner's manual.

Marvin, you did it. They're opening.

- I did? - Hurry!

Before they close again.

Boy, it's sure dark and deep.

Well, superhero

you're the one who got us into this one.

- What do we do now? - Let's see.

We could stay outside and hope to get spotted from the air

or try the tunnel to see what the guy's up to.

Would you believe we try the tunnel?

I sure wish one of our Superfriends were here.

- Well, I'm here. - I know.

Exactly why I wish one of our Superfriends were here.

- Look, I got us into this and-- - Sure.

And now who's gonna get us out?

Very funny. Come on.

Marvin, there's a light up ahead.

[electricity crackling]

What is happening, Kolbar?

Our solar robot, it's malfunctioning.

Then clear the malfunction. Fix it.

I'm trying, Lupis. I'm trying.

You must succeed.

Our entire plan is at stake.

I know. I know.

Do you know what will happen if you fail?

Do I know what will happen?

Why do you think I've been freezing my bones off here

on this icy planet?

Of course I know what will happen.

Then you will not fail.

I have failed.

[sobbing]

Wow, some setup. What's that?

- It's him. - Let's get out of here.

Wait, something's wrong. He's crying.

[male narrator] Returning to Justice League headquarters

Superman tells of his encounter with the solar robot.

It was some kind of remotely controlled solar robot.

Holy hemisphere.

The planet Earth will now settle back

into its natural orbit.

Thanks to you, Superman.

But someone put that solar robot on the far side of the sun.

Now, who?

Could it be that strange man

Marvin and Wendy told us about?

The oddly dressed fellow in all the photos.

Say, speaking of Wendy and Marvin, where are they?

Mm, I haven't seen them since this morning.

[Wonder Dog whimpering]

That sounds like Wonder Dog.

- It's a message from Marvin. - What does he say?

"We found the man in the overcoat and are following him.

- Will report later." - Where could they be?

There's something written on the back of the note, Robin.

It's some sort of time schedule.

Let me see it. Hmm.

It could be airport, train

or steamship departures and arrivals.

Let's run it through the data-processing machine.

[whirring]

All negative. Well, that's not it.

I have an idea. Let me try something.

The spectral analyzer will tell us

if there's anything unusual

about the kind of paper the note's on.

It's just paper.

But there is some unusual dust on it.

What kind of dust?

It's a volcanic dust.

- Volcanic ash. - Yes, it is.

Then whoever wrote that schedule was on a volcanic island.

Exactly, Robin.

But there are volcanic islands all over the world.

There's something more.

Along with the volcanic ash

some ocean coral particles.

That means the Pacific Ocean.

- That's where coral grows. - Hmm.

A volcano in the Pacific.

Let me see that schedule again. Of course.

These times are all three hours and 10 minutes apart.

There's a volcanic island south of Bora Bora

the natives call Malaba.

What's that have to do with the time schedule?

Malaba is the only active volcano in the world

that erupts every three hours and 10 minutes.

So that's his hideout, Malaba.

We'd better not waste any more time.

Come on, Wonder Dog, we're going for a ride.

[grunts]

I'm a failure, a complete and utter failure.

Why did you want to move the Earth

closer to the sun anyway, Mr. Kolbar?

My planet, Solar Terrarium, is freezing up.

It's so cold that we have decided to move.

We were hoping to come to Earth to live.

You see, we need a constant temperature

of 140 degrees to live comfortably.

But Earthlings can't live in 140-degree temperature.

- We'd roast. - We meant you no harm.

But we had no choice.

And now I guess there's no hope for us.

My last report was that Solar Terrarium

has dropped to a bone-chilling 85 degrees.

Why is your planet getting so cold?

When our industry was just getting into full swing

about the way your planet is today

our wisest men warned us

against exhausting our resources

and ruining our planet.

But the people laughed at them.

There was more than enough land and water.

We thought we'd never have to worry.

Then black clouds of smoke

began to build up around our world.

They blocked the rays of our sun from getting through.

Our planet began to cool off, but still we did not worry.

Our resources were still plentiful.

The more fuel we burned to heat our cities

the darker it became and the colder it got.

Finally, it has reached a point

where all the fuel on our planet cannot keep us warm.

Coal, oil, natural gas, wood?

We've used all our resources.

And soon, because we've waited too long to mend our ways

we shall all freeze up like your Popsicles.

[male narrator] At that moment, only a few yards away

a familiar group has arrived at Malaba.

Where could they be? The spaceship's empty.

We'd better find out soon.

That potboiler looks like it's about to go off right on time.

Wonder Dog. He's trying to tell us something.

- They must be in there. - There's not a moment to lose.

That volcano is about to blow.

[instrumental music]

Excuse me, Wonder Dog. Allow me.

[male narrator] Sending super-ultrasonic vibrations

into the heavy rock

the Flash instantly fractures the stone doors.

They fall into rubble.

Let's go, Wonder Dog. We'll be late for the party.

Hop aboard the Malaba Express.

And without my equipment, I can't contact my people

much less get my spaceship to fly.

Say, let me take a look at it. Maybe I can fix it.

Oh, Marvin, you can't even change a light bulb.

If only Superman were here.

Did someone call?

- Superman. - Superman.

[Marvin] Aquaman.

- Flash. - And Wonder Dog.

You did it, Wonder Dog.

You got my message to the Justice League.

- Tell me, are you two alright? - We're fine.

Oh, this is our new friend, Kolbar.

He's from the planet Solar Terrarium.

Kolbar, these are our friends

from the Justice League of America.

Wendy, I know your friends well.

I have marveled at their feats of strength, courage and wisdom.

Kolbar here is in big trouble. I was about to give him a hand

but since you're here, maybe you'd like to help out.

Sure thing, Marvin. What did you have in mind?

[male narrator] Using Malaba's molten lava

Superman forges a giant glass bubble

to transport his friends swiftly through space

on a direct course for

the planet of Solar Terrarium.

Twelve o'clock midnight.

No, Marvin, it's not midnight. It's 12:00 noon.

Where is everybody?

In their homes, trying to keep warm.

Come on, Aquaman, Flash, we've got some work to do.

[male narrator] The job, a giant cleanup.

Aquaman handles the waterways.

Superman tackles the air.

[Superman inhaling deeply]

The Flash gives Aquaman a timely assist

with a helpful tornado.

Working together, Superman, Aquaman and the Flash

quickly clean up the planet of Solar Terrarium.

The dirt, dust, smoke and trash go spinning into space.

Up, up into the Solar Terrarium sun,

finally vaporizing in its intense heat.

As if a new day had dawned

the people returned to the streets.

The sun, it is shining.

Wow. Feel that warmth?

[chuckling] Warmth is right.

You're already beginning to sunburn, Marvin.

Look at that.

We better get off this planet

before we're all well-done. Heh.

Today is indeed a happy day.

The people will hold a grand outdoor carnival in your honor.

Thanks for the offer, Kolbar

but I'm afraid we must be getting back.

If we stay, my friends will be cooked to a crisp.

Well, we have learned much from all of you.

From now on, we will use all of our resources more wisely.

One other thing, Superfriends.

May we apologize for our misguided attempt

to change Earth for our use?

You have our promise

it will not happen again.

- Goodbye, Kolbar. - Yeah, so long.

Goodbye, my friends.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Things sure are clear up here

when you don't have to see them through a haze.

It is beautiful.

But the only way it will stay beautiful

is if each of us feels it's partly his job.

When you think about it, humans, you, me, everybody

we're the only creatures able to upset the balance of nature.

And the only ones able to maintain it.

Like Kolbar and his people discovered.

You can't just move out.

I guess we'd better take good care of our planet.

[Wendy] Marvin, you said it. It's the only home we have.
