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 blaring]

[male narrator] ... 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.

[male narrator] King Plasto.

A king without a kingdom.

But with a grandiose scheme to start his own country.

As he and his jester Styro drive down a country road

they pass a research station, the GREPS building.

Government Research and Experiment Project for Space.

What's this? His Majesty tampering with a road sign?

Strange goings on.

From a pocket of his royal robe

King Plasto removes an egg-shaped container

and flings it in the air.

A perfect duplicate.

Made of my secret formula, FRERP.

The most versatile, most fabulous plastic ever invented.

Your Majesty, what does FRERP mean?

Ha, ha. Fiber reinforced epoxy resin plastic.

Anyone can make ordinary FRERP

but I have added a secret ingredient.

When I start my own country, Styro

everything in it will be made of FRERP.

Your highness.

Ah, the delivery truck loaded with raw plastic.

Drive this in behind the building.

Your dispatcher was right.

He said a road sign would direct us to the GREPS building.

Ah, the raw plastic powder.

We've been waiting for this shipment.

Start unloading it, men.

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

A light-hearted mood prevails.

Within the hour, the Superfriends will report

to the Haunted Hills golf course

for a charity event.

A televised exhibition of their golfing skills.

Jeepers, it's gonna be fun caddying for you.

I hope the TroubAlert doesn't spoil our day.

All's quiet, so far, Wendy.

There's your receipt.

Good job, men.

You got this shipment through safely.

Not like the other shipments that, uh, disappeared.

Any clue to what happened to them?

No, sir. It's still a mystery.

That's why they sent me along this time.

There you are, Styro.

Now, load that raw plastic into our truck.

[male narrator] In the Hall of the Justice League

the Superfriends start to leave for the golf course.

[beeping]

Their departure is delayed by the TroubAlert signal.

This is Mr. Rosecope, chief of the GREPS research station.

That shipment of plastic we're expecting

is now 20 minutes late.

Sir, if it doesn't arrive in an hour

contact us at the Haunted Hills golf course.

All loaded, sire.

Will we leave the building here?

Absolutely not, Styro.

King Plasto leaves no clues behind.

[laughing]

Those men will swear they delivered it

right to the GREPS building.

[male narrator] At the real GREPS building

Mr. Mike Rosecope, chief of the research project

impatiently awaits a truckload of raw plastic

which is long overdue.

Meanwhile, at the Haunted Hills golf course

the Superfriends begin their televised exhibition

demonstrating fantastic golf shots.

Wonder Woman calls this her ricochet drive.

Please keep your eye on the ball, folks.

[Batman] Now we have deliberately placed this ball behind a boulder

so Superman can demonstrate for you

his fantastic drill shot.

Folks, you've heard of a hole in one.

You've just witnessed a two in one hole.

[male narrator] As the Superfriends continue their dazzling display

of golf tricks, they are unaware

that in the nearby woods

two figures peer intently from the undergrowth.

Can you see them, your royal majesticness?

[Plasto] Mm, from here, I see Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

Not the others.

It said in the newspapers that they'd all be here.

[chuckles] We shall wait and make certain.

[Aquaman] And now the Caped Crusaders

will demonstrate their acrobatic shot.

I advise you not to try this yourself

unless you are a professional acrobat.

Ready, Teen Wonder?

Here goes. Alley-oop.

Good shot, Batman. It's heading straight toward the green.

I'm afraid it won't make it, Robin

that sudden gust of wind is hooking it toward the lake.

Water's my territory, Wendy.

A club, please.

[Wendy] And now, folks, Aquaman will show you

how he hits a ball from deep water.

Hey, there little fella. Don't crab my act.

[Marvin] Zonkers, it's going right for the cup.

There they are.

All of them, your nobleness.

- And they're coming this way. - Ha!

Yes. We mustn't let them see us, Styro.

Open the secret door.

Six inches. So near, and yet so far.

Too far for me.

Since you're the strongest of us all, Superman

I think you should take a crack at it.

I'll do my best.

[Superman] Great Scott, I keep forgetting how strong I am.

I'll get the ball.

Come on, Wonder.

Well, we might as well move on to the next tee.

It should be somewhere around here.

Hey, look.

[Marvin] Yeah. Maybe it flew in that window.

Come on.

Nobody here. Let's look inside.

Pretty dark. The ball's probably on the floor someplace.

You find it yet?

[sniffing]

[Marvin] Keep looking, Wonder.

[male narrator] While inside, Marvin and Wonder Dog

search for the ball, outside, it suddenly becomes apparent

that the shack is not on a hill

it's on King Plasto's truck.

[Marvin] I don't think the ball's in here, Wonder.

Zonkers, we're flying through the air, Wonder Dog.

We're caught in a tornado.

[Wonder Dog yelps]

Hey, the shack stopped flying, right in the middle of the air.

Styro, did you take the shack down?

Oops. Sorry, your royalness, I forgot it. I'll get it now.

Zonkers, we're on a truck.

What's a shack doing on top of a truck?

[gasps]

Huh? It's gone.

Well, maybe it fell off the other side.

- I know there was a shack here. - Yeah.

Here's the shack, your greatness.

Good, now we may continue.

Something's weird about this.

Let's get down and see who's driving.

[grunts]

Oh, come on.

We can climb down this tree.

[grunts]

Wow, a tunnel.

Hanging on this branch must have opened

that hidden entrance.

Zonkers, this is wild.

We better let the Superfriends know.

[male narrator] As Marvin and Wonder Dog rush back to the golf course

King Plasto drives through the tunnels

of his secret headquarters.

Mm, within minutes this plastic powder

will be converted into FRERP.

[laughs] What are we going to make this time, your kingship?

The things we'll need to hijack another load of raw plastic.

Styro, I have to furnish an entire kingdom.

Buildings, cars, trucks, furniture.

Everything. Large and small.

I need all the raw plastic I can get my hands on.

That's the last sack, King Plasto.

Good. Let's go to the arena.

[male narrator] King Plasto drives his van into a vast underground chamber.

The FRERP arena.

We won't need that truck on our next job.

We'll simply compress it.

First, the van.

[male narrator] As King Plasto activates the control console

powerful rams reduce the FRERP van

to the size of a goose egg.

And one compressed truck emerges for storage.

Now, bring me a model tug boat.

Sire, are you going to make this of solid FRERP

or an inflatable FRERP?

Solid, of course.

The inflatable FRERP is only for objects that remain stationary.

Things that are run by machines have to be made of solid FRERP.

Step number one...

...the FRERP.

My beloved FRERP.

Now, place it in the pantograph box.

Oh, your gloriousness.

I wish I could understand how all of this works.

These photoelectric beams activate the molding rods.

[male narrator] While ramrods shape the outside of the tugboat

laser beams sculpt the inside of the craft.

The interior, engine parts, nuts, bolts

cabins, bunks, everything.

Special pantograph lights paint the tugboat in natural colors.

Not a replica, the vessel is a real tugboat

made of fantastic FRERP.

Beautiful. Now, we put it into an egg.

For this next plastic heist

we'll have to make two more things.

A GREPS truck and a warehouse.

♪ His Majesty needs plastic ♪

♪ For all the FRERP he's making ♪

♪ There's no point in buying it ♪

♪ When it's there just for the taking ♪

♪ With a hey and a ho and a hey and a ho ♪

[both laughing]

Brilliant, Styro.

My sentiments exactly.

[laughing]

[male narrator] At the Haunted Hills golf course

Marvin and Wonder Dog finally emerge from the forest.

The exhibition is over. Come on, Wonder.

We've gotta catch them before they leave.

It was our pleasure, Mr. Bannard.

We're always happy to help out a worthy charity.

Hey, Superfriends. Guess what?

You found the ball, Marvin?

Eh, what ball?

The ball Superman hit into the woods.

Oh, I forgot about that.

Then what were you doing all this time?

Well, we were in the woods, and we saw this hack on the shill.

I mean, this hick on the shall. I mean--

Marvin, take a deep breath

and tell us about the shack on the hill.

It wasn't on the hill.

But that's what you were trying to say.

I know I was trying to say that.

But it wasn't, was it, Wonder Dog?

[grunts]

What are you trying to tell us, Marvin?

- Well, you won't believe this. - Try us.

Well, this old shack was on top of a truck. And we were in it.

And when we stepped out of the shack, the shack wasn't there.

You were right, Marvin. I don't believe it.

Robin, I think the lad is suffering from shack-shock.

What happened next, Marvin?

Well, there was this cliff, and the truck went right into it.

- It crashed? - No, it didn't crash.

The cliff opened up like magic.

You mean, the driver said, "Open sesame," and it opened?

The driver didn't say anything.

It was the tree limb.

A tree limb said, "Open sesame?"

No, no, no. Well, zonkers, you people are awfully confused.

We're confused? Holy mishmash.

Alright, hold on.

Perhaps Marvin has something important. Now, let's try to--

[beeping]

It's our Batcommunicators.

That code signal is a TroubAlert emergency.

[Marvin] Anyway, this cliff, it opened up, see--

Later, Marvin, we've got to get

to the Hall of Justice League fast.

[male narrator] In the Hall of the Justice League

an emergency meeting has been called

by the man from GREPS.

Then your shipment of plastic never arrived, Mr. Rosecope?

No, Batman, it did not.

That's why Miss Lean and I are here.

These missing shipments have created a crisis

in our research program.

In what way?

For years, the space scientists at GREPS

have been trying to develop a new type of plastic.

Stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum.

And resistant to extreme temperatures.

Why, that could replace many natural resources

which we've been using up too fast.

Yes, and our scientists were making excellent progress too.

Then, unfortunately, about a year ago

someone not only stole the formula

but also the research notes and diagrams.

Oh, wow.

That means you had to start all over again from scratch.

Yes, and now our work is delayed again

by these mysterious disappearances of raw plastic.

We've had to order a large shipment from abroad.

The freighter docks this afternoon.

But these thefts always occur

when the plastic is en route to us.

Our research people claim

they've never received the shipments.

But the drivers have always obtained receipts?

Yes. All signed with the same signature.

Hmm. "Roy La Post."

Roy La Post.

He's not an employee of GREPS?

[Lean] We've never heard of Roy La Post.

As chief of the GREPS project

I've come to ask if you'll investigate it?

We'll certainly look into it, Mr. Rosecope.

Oh, thank you. That's marvelous.

I'm sure you'll solve the mystery.

[male narrator] But while Mike Rosecope expresses his gratitude

no one notices that Polly Lean is twisting

an ornament on her brooch.

In it, a tiny microphone which can transmit

the conversation to her partner, King Plasto.

He has cleverly planted her in the GREPS organization

to steal secrets and notify him of plastic shipments.

[laughs] Styro, when this is finished

it'll look just like a warehouse on a pier.

[laughing]

Zap zap zap

Finished.

Now, to eggulate it.

[beeping]

It's Princess Polly transmitting through her brooch.

[Superman on radio] You have proof the plastic was delivered to the station.

[Batman on radio] But you have proof the GREPS station didn't receive it.

[Aquaman on radio] I'm sure we can crack this mystery

if we put our minds to it.

All we need is a little more time.

Aquaman needs time to think, eh? Ha-ha-ha.

That's exactly what he won't have

when we send him and Superman on a wild-goose chase.

Here, put this in his bomb bay.

Your elegantness, the second goose is ready for the FRERP.

That's the one that will keep Superman busy.

Put this one in it.

Off you go, my fine-feathered friends of FRERP.

[Plasto laughs] That'll keep the Superfriends

out of our hair for a while.

[male narrator] In the sky, the two mechanical FRERP geese separate.

As one heads toward the sea

the other turns toward a nearby city.

As it approaches a busy traffic circle

during the height of the rush hour

a remote control radio signal

opens its bomb bay doors

releasing a FRERP egg.

In the traffic circle

the FRERP egg expands into an enormous flying saucer.

Frightened by what they believe to be an invasion

from outer space, the motorists, unable to proceed

and unable to back up

create a monumental traffic jam.

Back in the Hall of the Justice League

the Superfriends continue questioning their guests.

You say the formula for the new plastic was stolen a year ago?

That's right.

[buzzing]

"Emergency at the city line traffic circle."

[Batman] Bring it in on the SDI screen.

[Robin] Holy space creatures. We've been invaded by Martians.

[Superman] Hmm, how come this saucer didn't show up on our space monitor?

Excuse me, please. There's an emergency I must take care of.

Whoosh

[male narrator] Moments later, the second mechanical goose

drops its FRERP egg into the sea

where it expands into a giant, inflated, killer whale.

As to the truck drivers who deliver the plastic

are they trustworthy?

They've all been carefully screened.

No criminal records.

What's more, a bonded security guard rides with them.

[buzzing]

"Killer whale gone berserk in the Pacific Ocean."

[Wonder Dog barking]

Yes, Wonder, I see it, but I don't understand it.

Zonkers, that whale's gone berserk.

It's scaring the daylights out of all the other fish.

Whales don't attack dolphins.

Pardon the pun, but there's something fishy about this.

I'd better look into it.

May we keep these receipts for a while?

I'd like to analyze the signature.

[Rosecope] Why, certainly.

Robin, put that receipt in the analyzer.

You see, kids, this machine will check the name Roy La Post

against all the evildoers in our crime file.

[Wendy] Wow, that's super fantastic.

[Robin] Batman, nothing came through.

Jeepers, what do we do, give up?

Not at all. We know the criminal exists.

Somewhere there's a plastic thief

who's been signing Roy La Post on all those receipts.

Maybe that name contains a clue to the criminal's real identity.

A very perspicacious suggestion, Wendy.

Robin, to the anagram board.

First, we'll place these magnetized letters

in their original order.

La Post, hmm, sounds French.

May I try one?

How about postal?

I've got it. I've got it.

A criminal who steals plastic by mail.

Marvin, that is absolutely, unquestionably incorrect.

Now, let's consider this.

[Robin] "Stop Al."

How about this, Batman?

His name is Al

and he's challenging us to stop him if we can.

A possibility, Robin. It's worth checking out.

We'll program the crime computer to cough up a card

on every criminal whose first name is Al.

Right.

Kids, would you mind putting the letters back, please?

Whew. All that mental exercise wore me out.

Yeah.

[Marvin] Well, that's it. Here they are, Wendy.

[Wonder Dog grunts]

Hey, Wonder.

[Wonder Dog moans]

Now I gotta pick them all up.

- Zonkers, hey, look at this. - What is it?

Look how the letters landed.

Yeah.

P-L-A-S-T-O. Plasto. So what?

That's it, that's the name on the truck.

I even recognize it upside down.

"Plasto." This was on the truck?

Yeah.

[Marvin] King Plasto. That's the name I couldn't remember.

It was on the truck that went into the secret tunnel.

King Plasto, eh.

Hmm. Let me try something.

[Robin] "Roy Plasto?"

No, Batman, that wasn't on the truck.

It was King Plasto.

Yeah.

Ah, but let me show you something.

The name Roy is obviously derived

from the French word R-O-I.

[Wendy] 'Roi, that's the French word for king.'

But we'd pronounce it Roy.

Precisely, La Roy Post, is King Plasto.

Holy humble pie.

I think we owe Marvin an apology.

And he didn't dream all that after all.

My apologies, Super-Marv.

Now, if you'll kindly lead us to that cliff

in the Haunted Hills forest, perhaps we'll find his majesty

King Plasto, alias Roy La Post.

[male narrator] In the sky, Superman approaches the city traffic circle

where the flying saucer has caused

that impossible traffic jam.

Great Scott, what a tie-up.

Before I do anything else

I'm going to get that saucer out of there.

That's plastic. Better slam on my brakes.

Catch the brass ring, and get a free ride.

Sure enough, inflated.

Someone's idea of a practical joke.

Hmm. Perhaps it wasn't intended as a joke.

It certainly managed to paralyze traffic.

First, I'll get rid of this.

[crowd cheering]

[theme music]

[Marvin] That's the cliff that opened up.

- Right, Wonder? - Yeah.

Let's take a closer look.

Far as I can see, Batman, it's just one piece of solid rock.

But there has to be a seam somewhere.

There. Look.

[barking]

[Batman] By George, I think he's got it.

Batman, let's push it open.

No good. Twenty men couldn't move this.

It weighs several tons.

Hey, you don't have to go to all that trouble.

- The tree branch will open it. - Tree branch?

Yeah, that one, hanging over the road. It opens it.

Here, I'll show you.

You see, when we climbed off the truck, it bent the branch down

and then the cliff just opened up. Give me a boost.

- Is it opening? - Afraid not, Marvin.

Guess I'm not heavy enough alone.

Put Wonder Dog up here too.

Huh?

Yeah, I don't understand it either.

If there's a tunnel inside, there may be an entrance

at the top of the cliff. We'll have a look.

Wait here, kids.

Hey, watch out for that rock.

Oh, too late.

[Wonder Dog barking]

Marvin, that rock.

That's what opened it.

Batman, wait. We found it!

Dynamic Duo, it's open. Come back!

No use. They can't hear us, Marvin.

Hey, Wendy, let's take a look inside.

"Entrance control."

That's how they close it after they get in.

And open it to come out.

Marvin, let's do some detective work.

I doubt if we'll find an entrance topside.

I don't think we should waste

the entire afternoon looking for it.

[Robin] Afternoon.

Batman, didn't Rosecope say

he's expecting a boat load of raw plastic this afternoon?

Yes, and we ought to be at the docks

to make sure Plasto doesn't intercept it.

[Robin] I'll get the info from the Justice League computer.

Caped Crusaders calling the Justice League computer.

Information requested.

Name the transatlantic freighter arriving today

carrying a cargo of raw plastic.

Please furnish time and place of arrival.

[male narrator] Robin's call to the Justice League computer

activates the complex machine by remote control.

Within seconds it ferrets out the desired information

from its memory bank and transmits it

to the distant Batmobile.

"Plastic is aboard S.S. Dragon.

Due to dock at Pier 40 at--"

Holy deadline. We've got less than a half hour.

[Batman] With light traffic, we can make it.

- How about the kids, Batman? - They know their way home.

[Batman] We're off to the waterfront.

[Wendy] Marvin, look.

"Storage room."

Nobody in there. Let's go in.

Eggs, Wendy.

Hundreds and hundreds of eggs.

So that's Plasto's racket, eh?

He's running an underground chicken farm.

Marvin, these aren't real eggs.

They're plastic.

Aha! He's running a plastic chicken farm.

Hmm. They all have markings on them.

Yeah. This one says, "KPS."

Mine says, "RG."

Let's crack one open and see what's inside.

Better not. It might be dangerous.

We'll take a couple back and show them to the Superfriends.

- Here. - Hey, look.

[Wendy] No, Wonder Dog. Leave it there.

Thattaboy. Come on, let's go.

clatter

[grunts]

Wendy, this tunnel goes on forever.

Yeah, if we're gonna explore it

it means an awful lot of walking.

[barking]

[Marvin] A golf cart.

Zonkers, this wasn't here when we came in.

I guess we were too excited to notice it.

Anyway, now we won't have to do all that walking.

We'll borrow this.

"FRERP arena."

I wonder what FRERP means?

[Marvin] Zonkers, this is like the Astrodome.

[Wonder Dog] Yeah.

Look up there.

It's a catwalk.

[grunting]

[snarling]

[Wendy] No, Wonder Dog. No cats.

The catwalk is that narrow balcony.

[Marvin] Look, it has a press box.

Marvin, I don't think that's a press box.

It's a control room of some kind.

Wow.

I don't know what his royal highness is up to

but I think we'd better report this to the Dynamic Duo.

Yeah. Hang on.

[male narrator] At the traffic circle, thanks to Superman

the situation is back to normal.

Meanwhile, far away

Aquaman streaks through the ocean's depths

to investigate the huge angry whale

which is causing panic on the surface

as well as underwater.

Great Neptune, that fishing boat.

First, I'll get this out of the danger zone.

Now, for a little chat with Moby Dick.

[male narrator] Using his ability to communicate telepathically

with sea creatures, Aquaman talks to the whale.

Alright, big fella, what's this all about?

You don't belong in these waters.

Listen, you overgrown sea pachyderm, I'm talking to you.

Hmm, I don't think he's receiving me.

I gotta get him out of here.

By the beard of Poseidon, this isn't a real whale.

It's plastic. Inflated plastic.

Alright, windbag, I know how to

take the breeze out of your sails.

[male narrator] Aquaman sends out a telepathic call for aid to a swordfish.

Okay, musketeer, he's all yours, do your thing.

Pop

I'll bet minnows to marlins this has something to do

with those disappearing shipments of plastic.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, at the city waterfront

Batman and Robin are on Pier 40

awaiting the arrival of the freighter Sea Dragon.

[Batman] That tug, it's bringing a freighter in

but it's not docking it here.

Then it's not the Sea Dragon.

But it is the Sea Dragon, Robin.

[Robin] Holy goof ups.

The tug's taking it upriver.

Robin, I think King Plasto has given us the royal hoodwink.

We'll catch up with him in the Batmobile.

[Robin] Waterfront Street is a dead end.

We'll have to detour around on River Road through city traffic.

Batman, I hope we're in time.

[male narrator] At that very moment, on an old abandoned wharf

a strangely-garbed man looks down river.

[chuckling]

Here comes his majesty, dragging the Dragon.

Time for me to go into my act.

[male narrator] As the tug brings the Sea Dragon

alongside the phony GREPS wharf

we discover that the only man aboard the tug

is King Plasto in disguise.

It was a breeze, Styro.

I met the freighter at sea.

[laughs] I told the captain that the harbor master

made a last minute pier change for security reasons.

[both laughing]

What a brilliant con job, your royalness.

Now, I'll just signal the crew to load the truck.

[male narrator] At the captain's command

the freighter's crew unloads the cargo of plastic

into the just-created phony GREPS truck.

[Robin] King Plasto's using every trick in the book, Batman.

I can't figure that new pier, Robin.

I thought I knew this waterfront like the palm of my hand.

[Robin] Watch it, Batman, there's a truck coming.

Holy coincidence. Look.

It's the GREPS truck coming from the waterfront.

[whistles]

Well, at least we know now the plastic's in safe hands.

Except for one thing, Robin.

Did you notice that the driver was wearing

a royal robe and a crown?

- King Plasto. - King Plasto.

[Batman] Hang on.

Vroom

♪ King Plasto is a genius he's made another haul ♪

♪ He has a brain just like a fox ♪

♪ He always fools them all ♪

♪ With a hey and a ho and a hey nonny oh ♪♪

[both laughing]

Odds bodkins.

Apparently, we haven't fooled all of them.

The Batmobile is chasing us.

Uh-oh. I await your command, your brilliantness.

The next side street runs uphill.

When I make the turn, throw this out.

Holy armored force. Where'd that come from?

What concerns me at the moment is where it's heading.

Directly at us.

Crash

There's nobody in it.

Strange, this isn't steel. It's plastic.

Where'd a big thing like this come from?

It wasn't on the truck. How?

We'll never learn the answers to your questions, Robin

until we catch up with his lowness, King Plasto.

Come on.

- There he is. - Stubborn chaps, aren't they?

- You may do the honors, Styro. - Ha-ha.

♪ With a hey and a ho and a hey nonny oh ♪♪

- The jester threw out an egg. - An egg?

[Batman] Robin, that's the Eiffel Tower.

Or a reasonable facsimile.

Holy omelet.

All that came out of that little egg.

We'll just have to leave it. It's not blocking traffic.

[Robin] Right, Batman. Let's keep after them.

Careful, Batman. Another egg.

Oh, no. This stops us cold.

He's heading east. Isn't that Haunted Hills forest?

Yes, but we'll have to give up the chase temporarily

and do something about this instant factory.

Let's take a closer look.

[Styro] Can you see the rock, your magnificentness?

Yes, faithful jester.

Just wanna make sure the wheel goes over it.

[male narrator] As the truck bounces over the rock

Plasto is unaware that an egg

has bounced from his pocket.

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

Wonder Woman has returned with Mr. Rosecope

and Miss Lean after a fruitless interrogation

of the GREPS personnel.

Obviously, the culprit is someone

who doesn't work for GREPS.

Uh, t-that's my theory too.

Hmm. That's a beautiful brooch, Miss Lean. May I?

[Marvin] Hi, everyone.

Boy, did we ever discover something.

Are the Crusaders here?

They never came back for us.

Oh, they called in.

They got sidetracked chasing King Plasto.

We found Plasto's HQ.

Uh, HQ means headquarters, Wendy.

Yes, Super-Marv, I know that.

We brought these back.

For you to examine in the lab.

Eggs. Plastic eggs.

The Dynamic Duo reported some weird encounters

with Plasto's eggs.

Follow me, everyone.

Hmm. The letters KPS on this one.

Perhaps, if we break it open, we'll find out what "KPS" means.

Um, I don't think that's wise.

I-I mean, it might be dangerous.

Uh, we're dealing with the unknown.

My dear, Miss Lean, the unknown will remain unknown

unless we make it our business to understand it.

However, just to play it safe, I suggest you all stand back.

Alright, KPS, let's see what you're made of.

Great Aphrodite, it's inflating.

[Marvin] Zonkers, it's a statue.

[Rosecope] "King Plasto. Founder of Frerpland."

Frerpland?

FRERP is the acronym for "fiber reinforced epoxy resin plastic."

[gasps] My word.

This is our secret formula.

And "KPS" obviously meant "King Plasto's Statue."

I wonder what RG will be.

I'd better open this one on the floor too. Stand back, everyone.

Whatever an RG is, I hope it's not bigger than this room.

[Wendy] Aww, isn't that cute?

"RG" for "Robot Goose."

And it too is made of FRERP.

But this one isn't inflated.

There are two types.

This is solid FRERP. Polly, come have a look at...

Where's Miss Lean?

Jeepers, she was here a minute ago.

[Rosecope] Oh, poor Miss Lean. She's a bit timid.

These weird events must have frightened her away.

[beeping]

Hmm, Polly's brooch is transmitting.

[Rosecope on radio] I guess Miss Lean is scurrying home.

I'll call her later and assure her

there's nothing to worry about.

Styro, something's happened.

Polly's not there.

But she was clever enough to leave her brooch. Shh.

Look, Mr. Rosecope, obviously, this is used as a carrier bird.

[computer buzzing]

Uh-oh. There's the TroubAlert.

It's three stories high

and it's blocking traffic in all directions.

Can't you deflate it?

No, Wonder Woman, this plastic is solid like the tank.

And it's very strong. Can't even scratch it.

We'll work on it, Batman.

Meanwhile, Superman's on his way in

I'm sure he'll be able to move it.

Good idea. Robin and I are taking off.

We're going into Haunted Hills forest to find King Plasto.

Out.

Mr. Rosecope, we must develop a FRERP solvent and fast.

We'll work together.

Marvin, our bikes are downstairs

let's go to the forest.

The Crusaders may need help.

You're right. They don't know how to open that cliff. Come on.

[beeping]

[Rosecope on radio] Wonder Woman, the chemical base should be C2-H5-0H.

[Wonder Woman on radio] That's ethyl alcohol.

And, to that, we'll add amyl acetate, CH3-C5-H11

commonly known as banana oil.

Gadzooks, they're trying to develop a solvent for FRERP.

Have no fear, your superiorness

Mr. Rosecope isn't brilliant enough to--

No, but Wonder Woman is.

We've got to do something to get her out of that lab.

Quick, bring the goose eggs, all of them.

Y-yes. Yes, your loftiness.

I'll cause disruptions, panics, emergencies.

Enough to demand the full attention of the Superfriends

including Wonder Woman.

[male narrator] The petulant potentate of plastic

purposely plans to panic the public

by perpetrating a perverse ploy

peppering the peaceful populace

with pernicious plastic pranks.

A FRERP goose drops its egg on River Valley.

Great Scott. Where'd that come from?

The water's rising.

It's going to flood the power plant.

[male narrator] Figuring the dam can be used to good advantage elsewhere

the Man of Steel does not smash it.

Instead he burrows downward to its foundation.

Seconds later.

I'll be back for you later.

[male narrator] Elsewhere, King Plasto's geese fly over the city

dropping their fantastic FRERP eggs.

Meanwhile, in the Justice League lab

Wonder Woman adds the final ingredient

to make FRERP solvent.

Superman returns just in time

for Wonder Woman's triumphant announcement.

This spray solvent is fast-acting and very powerful.

A short spritz will dissolve even the largest FRERP object.

I'll show you.

It returns it to its original state, raw plastic powder.

Good work, Wonder Woman.

The TroubAlert is going wild.

Eggs are dropping all over the city.

With this spray, I've got my work cut out for me.

Superman, I'll notify my people

to send out equipment to pick up the raw plastic.

Zounds, I've never known a woman with such a resolve to dissolve.

[Styro] Your Highness, look.

[Plasto] Why, Princess Polly.

Your Majesty, I've come to warn you.

The Superfriends know about this place.

All we need is time enough to gather

all our precious FRERP eggs

load them into a FRERP plane and then we can fly off

to my private island, where, overnight

we will set up our new kingdom, Frerpland.

Frerpland, our perfect world.

Yes, princess, perfect.

Not like this terrible mixed-up world we've been living in.

Styro, help me dismantle the control console.

[male narrator] The Man of Steel wastes no time.

Busily, he streaks back and forth

across the city and countryside.

Meanwhile, in Haunted Hills forest

the Dynamic Duo approach the cliff.

[Robin] There it is, Batman.

Somehow, Robin, we must find a way to open it.

[male narrator] As the Batmobile approaches

the Crusaders fail to notice a FRERP egg in the roadway

an egg which earlier bounced out of King Plasto's pocket.

Holy levitation.

Great blazes, we're on a Ferris wheel.

[Batman] Freeze, Robin, the slightest movement

could affect the delicate balance.

Holy cliffhangers.

[Marvin] Zonkers, we must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

No, Marvin, that's the cliff.

Jeepers, who'd build a Ferris wheel in a forest?

Marvin, look up there.

[Marvin] Zonkers, it's the Batmobile.

[Robin] Batman, the kids are down there.

Yes, Robin, but what can they do?

As I said, the slightest movement...

Right.

Wendy, I don't understand your plan.

You will. Drop it.

[Wendy] Come on, run.

"RC." Let's hope this means what I think it means.

Follow me.

Okay, keep your fingers crossed, and let fly.

- Marvin just tossed an egg. - An egg?

[Batman] What are they trying to do? Serve us breakfast?

[Robin] Holy roller coasters. Now I get it.

[Batman] Hang on.

- Wow. - Hooray.

What a ride.

King Plasto's FRERP birds

must fly out through an opening in the cliff top.

- We'll look for it. - They made it.

Great, we won't wait for them.

We've got to see if Plasto's inside.

- Come on. - Yeah.

[snarling]

In case we run into trouble we'll use Plasto's trick.

We'll scramble a few of these.

That's my motto, Wendy.

Fight fire with fire, fight eggs with eggs.

Let's go, troops.

[male narrator] As the intrepid teenagers

ride into the vast arena

they are unaware that high above them

in the control room, is their quarry.

Your Majesty, intruders.

Friends of the Superfriends.

Gadzooks, pesky kids.

We'll have to keep them here until we're ready to depart.

Marvin, I don't think there's a soul here.

Yeah, too bad, I'd love to show them what it means

to deal with Super-Marv.

That's easy to say, when there's nobody here.

Oh, yeah? Well, if Plasto showed up

right now, know what I'd do?

First, I'd...

...go the other way.

Marvin, that was Miss Lean.

She's working with them.

[barks]

A golf cart, eh?

We shall see if it can outrace this.

They're coming after us.

Let's get out of here.

I think it's time to hatch some eggs.

[mimics chicken clucking]

[Plasto] Odds bodkins, it's my city hall.

They went thataway.

Clatter

whoosh whoosh whoosh

- Great blazes, it's the kids. - And Wonder Dog.

[Batman] King Plasto, stop where you are.

Gadzooks, it's the Dynamic Duo.

Just hold it right there, Mr. Roy La Post.

We're coming down.

Yea, verily, you certainly are coming down.

[Plasto laughing]

[Robin] Holy waterbeds.

King Plasto, Polly Lean, give yourselves up.

Sire, it's Wonder Woman.

Never. I'll never give up.

Your reign has ended, King Plasto.

It's time to abdicate.

Oh, no. Superman.

He's right, Roy, we're finished.

Never, Polly Ethel, never.

We'll hide.

Now, Wonder Woman.

Hiss hiss

Oh, how ironic.

Caught in our own jail.

[Styro] Oh, I hope they go easy on us.

Don't snivel, you fool.

Fool? You got us into this, Plasto.

I am your king.

Now, address me properly.

Okay, your immense greediness.

You're the one who got us into this mess

with all the big talk about starting a new country

your perfect world. Ha!

There's an old adage, Plasto.

"No man is an island."

You can't make a perfect world for yourself

at the expense of others.

[male narrator] In the Hall of the Justice League

the Superfriends enjoy another of Wendy's

fabulous victory dinners.

Well, all our FRERP eggs have been delivered safely to GREPS.

And our scientists will analyze them.

Oh, I forgot.

While I was biking through the forest, I found another egg.

This one has "RE" on it.

Easy with that, Wendy. Don't drop it.

Yes, RE might be a code for something

too big to fit in this room.

Like rampaging elephants.

They'd be wonderful guests for the evening.

Or maybe a railroad engine, right here on our banquet table.

You know, um, I've become an expert on FRERP eggs.

Let me see that thing, Wendy.

Thought you'd never ask, Super-Marv.

Hey.

[Batman] Robin, get it.

Zonkers, where did it...

Splat

Wendy, I think "RE" stands for "Real Egg."

And, furthermore

the handwriting on that egg looked very familiar.

Why, Marvin, whatever gives you that idea?

Why, two things, Wendy.

The twinkle in your eye

and the egg on my face.

[laughter]

[Superman] This is Superman.

Next on Superfriends, "The Mysterious Moles."

Join us on a journey to Bottomless Cave.

You'll encounter trees that can walk

face a monster machine that can bore through mountains

and view glittering diamonds and an underground volcano.

Next week on "Superfriends."
