[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]

Screech

Wonder Woman.

Batman.

Aquaman...

[music continues]

...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.

At the County Museum of Art

an exhibit of precious
stones of the world.

The main attraction of the exhibit

the 210-karat Star of Persia.

One of the most perfect
diamonds in the world.

Every precaution has been taken
to protect it from theft.

Uniformed guards are on constant alert

at each corner of the roped-off area.

Hey, where'd that red light come from?

Up there. On the wall.

[female 1] Look. Why, it disappeared.

[crowd chattering]

Hold it, folks.
It's still there.

No problem, everyone.
The Star of Persia is safe.

No harm done.

[alarm beeping]

Look at the TroubAlert. This
seems to be a really big one.

"The County Museum of Art."

They're having an exhibit
of the most precious

stones of the world.

It's my hunch that at this moment

they have fewer precious stones

than they had before the
TroubAlert was activated.

I suggest we investigate.

Batman and Robin, care to join me?

With pleasure, Superman.

I'm sure there is some
mistake, gentlemen.

Everything is alright
here at the museum.

The TroubAlert doesn't make mistakes.

Something's been stolen.

But nothing is missing, Batman.

We've checked every precious
stone in the place.

The TroubAlert reacted to something.

Was there any strange occurrence at all?

Well, for a few moments

we did have a peculiar red light

focusing on the Star of Persia.

But, well, as you can
see, it's still here

the most perfect of the
precious stones in the museum.

That stone on the cushion is
neither perfect nor precious.

It's an imitation.

Gentlemen, I'm sorry,

but the Star of Persia has been stolen.

Then this is what we know.

The actual Star of Persia's been stolen

and this relatively worthless zircon

has been put in its place.

Alright, Super Friends, any clues

as to who might have taken it?

The only clue we have is
that a mysterious shaft

of red light appeared in the museum.

Aha.

You mean, this has
happened before, colonel?

As a matter of fact, twice before.

That's right, just last week
on the cruise ship Lorelei

the 110-karat Mandalay Diamond

was stolen from the captain's safe.

[Wilcox] After the
appearance of a mysterious

shaft of red light.

And in Amsterdam, the
Holland Jewelry Company

reported the theft of its 120-karat

Pride of the Zuider Zee.

After the appearance of a mysterious

shaft of red light, no doubt.

Precisely, Wendy.

Well, then, like, there's no problem.

All we have to do is find
that shaft of light

and we find the diamonds.

Yeah.

[Wilcox] Super Friends, those diamonds

must be found.

I take it the government
suspects these thefts

go further than simple
robbery, Colonel Wilcox?

Our government, as well
as other governments.

You must find the reason
why only diamonds

of over 100 karats are being stolen.

The Star of Persia, the Mandalay Diamond

and the Pride of the Zuider Zee.

[Wilbur] Only two more diamonds
to complete the control panel

and we'll be ready to
test the instrument.

The star system Cygnus Magnum.
Isn't it beautiful?

Yes, beautiful, doctor.

[LeBon] And there is the
planet, Cygnus-Uno.

We will do what must be
done and then we will see

who has the last laugh.

[TroubAlert beeping]

[male narrator] And in the
Hall of the Justice League

the Super Friends have asked
the TroubAlert computer

for background information.

There are only four other
diamonds in the world

of more than 100 karats.

Where are they located, Wendy?

One is in the vault of
the Bank of London.

- Wonder Woman, cover that.
- Right.

The second one is in the tomb of

the Pharaoh Tutankhset in Cairo, Egypt.

Robin and I will check that area.

And the third is on the
yacht of multimillionaire

Howard Small in mid-Atlantic.

- Hmm. That's my area.
- And the last one, Wendy?

In a pendant worn around the
neck of Mrs. Jason Cadwalader

at this moment, conducting

a benefit circus for deprived children.

A circus? Oh, obviously that's
our area, right, Wonder Dog?

Yeah, right.

Kids, I believe I'll have
to take responsibility

for that area but I can use your help.

Wouldn't mind going to the circus myself

just for old times' sake.

I was a circus performer until
my parents were killed

and Batman took me in.

And you taught me a few
tricks on the trapeze.

But, we each have our assignments.

I suggest we get moving while
the diamonds are still there.

[male narrator] Wonder Woman,
in her transparent airplane

heads for London, England.

Batman and Robin take off for Egypt.

And Aquaman swims toward
the cruising area

of multimillionaire
Howard Small's yacht.

Superman, in the guise of Clark Kent

TV commentator for Galaxy Communications

arrives at the circus grounds

with Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog.

Well, there won't be any action
under the big top until

after Mrs. Cadwalader presents
the plaque to the ringmaster.

Would you kids like to
go on some rides first?

Hey, super. The roller
coaster looks like fun.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna throw some
baseballs and win some prizes.

Alright, you kids enjoy yourselves.

I'll see you inside later.

[dramatic music]

[Wendy screaming]

[Wendy laughing]

Missed again, young feller.

Step right up, ladies and
gentlemen. Win a kewpie doll.

Three throws to knock over the
bottles to win a kewpie doll.

- Three throws for 25 cents.
- One more time.

Now, don't forget the
red balloon, Wilbur.

The red balloon must be
focused on the big top.

Remember, the red balloon must be--

[Wilbur] Must be focused
on the big top. I know.

Too bad, young feller.
Missed again.

Guess by now you're out of quarters.

Yeah. One more time, mister.

Mrs. Cadwalader? Clark Kent
of Galaxy Communications

would like a few words with
you before the presentation.

Alright. Uh, but be brief, young man.

I was wondering about that 100
karat diamond you're wearing.

[Cadwalader] My 100-karat diamond.

Ah, yes, isn't it beautiful?

In the last two weeks there have been

a series of diamond robberies.

And my question is aren't you concerned

that your diamond might be stolen?

No, Mr. Kent, I'm not concerned.

In that elegantly dressed
group of people watching us

are three of the greatest
detectives in the world.

While they are on guard
it will be impossible

for anyone to steal my
beautiful diamond.

[Wilbur] That's it, doctor.
They're all in position.

Which makes us just about
ready for Mrs. Cadwalader.

And the board of directors
of our organization

therefore wishes to present this plaque.

- Activate balloons.
- Roger, doctor.

Zap

Activate hydraulic lift.

Roger, doctor.

Whirr

And so, ringmaster of the
Blinken and Bristol Circus

on behalf of the...

Time to become Superman again.

Why? Why, what's...

Wonder Dog, look.

[Wonder Dog whimpering]

The red beam.

It's coming from that circus wagon.

What's happening to my
beautiful 100-karat diamond?

It's being stolen.
Up, up and away.

Retract hydraulic lift.

Release the decoy balloons.

[male narrator] The decoy balloons

are catapulted from their moorings

and Superman takes off after them.

[trumpeting]

[male narrator] The elephants
panicked by the catapulting balloons

pull their stakes

and, stampeding through
the wild-animal compound

break open the gorilla cage.

[growling]

You were getting pretty
good there, young feller.

How about one more time?

I'll let the guy with
the fur coat go first.

And a kewpie doll for the gorilla.

[stammering] Gorilla?

[male narrator] Superman gathers in

the last of the decoy balloons

and heads for the Hall
of the Justice League

leaving the kids to enjoy the circus.

This is where that circus wagon

was sending out that red beam.

[Marvin] Wendy! Wendy!

- There's a big gorilla loose.
- Gorilla? What gorilla?

The gorilla that won the kewpie doll.

[gasps]

[Wendy] Oh, forget the gorilla.

Marvin, we have found the red beam.

Where is it?

Well, it was coming out
of this circus wagon.

- Where is the circus wagon?
- Well, it was here.

Well, how are we gonna find it again?

- Oh, Marvin, I don't know.
- Wendy, look.

Wonder Dog's making
like a roller coaster.

Hey, that's where we first
spotted the circus wagon.

Good thinking, Wonder Dog.

[instrumental music]

Wendy, I don't see it anywhere.

Marvin, there it is.
Over on that highway.

Faster, Wendy, or we'll lose them.

I can't go any faster.

[Marvin] Well, I guess we lost them.

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

Look at that, fresh tire tracks.

[Marvin] Yeah, leading
off on that side road.

[Wendy] Let's follow them.

Look. The circus wagon's
going into that building.

Gee, how do we get in?

Why don't we just ring the bell?

Wendy, these people have stolen

some of the most precious
gems in the world.

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

But the two men driving the circus wagon

looked like nice, kindly gentlemen.

[sighs]

But sometimes things
aren't what they seem.

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

[Marvin] That might not
even be a doorbell.

Huh? Really?

[door bell buzzes]

- Zonkers.
- There it is.

[LeBon] Somebody's at the door, Wilbur.

[Wilbur] Were you expecting
anyone, doctor?

[LeBon] Just go see who it is, Wilbur.

Hello? Welcome to Dr. LeBon's
galaxy observatory.

Twenty-five cents to look through
the one-inch telescope.

Fifty cents to look through
the three-inch one.

Uh, nobody here, Dr. LeBon.

Must be that pesky cat that
likes to hang around here.

Mew-woof

Hmm, that pesky cat is

beginning to sound like a pesky dog.

[Wendy whispering] Marvin, where are you?

Creak

[whispering] Wendy, come on.

Well, Wilbur, one more diamond

and my great dream will be a reality.

Letting loose all those decoy balloons

sure confused any would-be pursuers.

I guess so.

What's the matter with you?

[Wilbur] Well, it makes me sad to think

that we could outwit the
Super Friends so easily.

Wilbur, why should it make you sad?

You know what a great
admirer of Superman I am.

We'll be far more admired than Superman

when we accomplish our objective.

Think of the great benefits
we'll bring to Earth, Wilbur.

You're right, doctor.

The mineral and fuel resources

are becoming more and more depleted.

And we shall replenish those resources

by bringing them down from Cygnus-Uno.

- What's he talking about?
- I don't know.

But we better tell the Super Friends.

Come, Wilbur. It's time we took a
firsthand look at Cygnus-Uno.

They're, they're coming this way!

Let's go that way.

[LeBon] It won't be long now, Wilbur.

[Marvin grunting]

It's like we can't get out.

Oh, now what do we do?

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

After we check out Cygnus-Uno

we go after the last diamond

and our planet splitter will
be ready to do its job.

Wendy, they're getting
aboard this thing.

We've gotta hide.

- It's the galley.
- Who cares? Let's get in there.

Alright, Wilbur, raise the door.

[intense music]

[male narrator] And in the
Hall of the Justice League

Superman updates the situation

for the other Super Friends.

As you can see

there is a miniaturized
remote-control device

in each balloon.

- Holy projectors.
- Exactly, Robin.

These balloons projected
six decoy red beams.

Probably a trick designed
to create confusion

as to the source of the seventh beam.

- The real red beam.
- Yes.

Enough confusion to permit
the criminals to escape

with the Cadwalader diamond.

And, there are still three
100-karat diamonds left.

Aquaman, may I suggest that you
quickly get back to that area

where Howard Small's yacht is
cruising in the North Atlantic.

Of course, Superman.

And I think it's essential to get there

in a hurry.

If you'll cover the Bank of
London for me, Superman

I'll take Aquaman in
my transparent plane.

Thank you, Wonder Woman.

And Robin and I better
get back to Egypt.

Right, the Tutankhset
tomb could be next.

- Superman?
- Yes, Robin?

If the criminals use the same ruse

you know, seven different red beams

then we would need seven Super
Friends, one on each beam

to make sure that at least one of
us could track the real beam.

We have a simpler answer
to that problem.

We have?

It wouldn't surprise me if Superman

was thinking of attaching a microdot

homing device to each diamond.

Then all we'd have to do is
follow the microdot's signal

right to the criminal's lair.

Precisely what I had in mind.

- One more thing.
- Yes, Robin?

I haven't seen Marvin,
Wendy or Wonder Dog.

I left them at the circus.

No doubt, they're having
a lot of fun right now

on one of those wild rides.

[Wendy] Wow-wee. This is a
fantastic ride, Marvin.

[Wonder Dog groaning]

Come on, Wonder Dog. Take a
look at this beautiful view.

And stop eating.

Yeah, Wonder Dog, you're
putting on weight.

As soon as we get home,
you go on a diet.

[Wonder Dog grumbling]

Stop complaining.

Come on, look.
See the beautiful view?

When do we stop bouncing, doctor?

The planet Cygnus' gravitational
pull is causing the difficulty.

As soon as I make this adjustment

the bouncing will stop.

Marvin, staying in this
small compartment

is giving me claustrophobia.

[Wonder Dog grunts]

Wonder Dog, you don't even
know what clipso-phrobbia...

Uh, fripso-clobbia, uh...

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

Oh, forget it.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Wilbur, before we go into
orbit, how about lunch?

Sure, doctor. I'll see what's
in the galley on our monitor.

We have stowaways.

[LeBon] Bring them in here, Wilbur.

Which way do we go?

[Wilbur] How about this way?

[Marvin yells]

[Wonder Dog yelps]

[Wendy] Marvin, what are you doing

with that steak bone in your mouth?

But, why are two such nice
gentlemen as yourselves

going around stealing diamonds?

We're not stealing them, young lady

we're borrowing them.

We'll return them as soon as
we're finished with them.

Why steal them in the first place

if you're gonna return them?

[LeBon] My planet splitter

won't split that planet

without the special power

I derive from the diamonds.

But you don't have the right
to take what isn't yours

no matter what the reason.

The Super Friends won't stand for it

and neither will we

the junior Super Friends.

Yeah.

Are you friends of the Super Friends?

Sure, we're friends and associates.

Oh, Superman's my idol.
After Dr. LeBon, of course.

If Superman's your idol

then you'd better not break up a planet.

- He won't like it.
- Yeah.

Because that's what happened to
his planet a long time ago.

Oh, tell me about it, please.

I always wanted to know how
Superman came to Earth.

It's alright if they tell
me, isn't it, Dr. LeBon?

We've got a long trip home

they can tell you anything they want to.

Why should we tell you anything?

Tell them, Marvin.

Maybe they'll realize they'd better not

get Superman angry with them.

[Marvin] Well...

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

How did Superman acquire
his super-powers?

A long, long time ago

revolving around a huge
red sun... was a planet.

Its name, Krypton.

Krypton was inhabited by a
highly intelligent race.

And among its most important citizens

were the astro-scientist,
Jor-El, and his wife, Lara.

That just about finishes it, Jor-El.

[Jor-El] Just the outer shell, though.

But it's a beauty.

A worthless one unless Lara comes up

with the proper guidance system.

Still can't whip it?

A few more sessions with
the computer banks

and I'll get it.

I've only been working on it two weeks.

Didn't take you that long to
get me to propose marriage.

[chuckles] You were less of a problem.

- I'm worried, Jor-El.
- About what?

The science council.

They've forbidden the
construction of any spacecraft.

Lara, that law is five years old.

A different council is in control now.

- But--
- Lara...

I can convince the science council

that it's time we again explored space.

Look...

That is one of the star
systems we should explore.

[Lara] I thought Arcto was the star
system you were interested in.

Until I discovered this one.

Watch carefully as I bring one
of its planets into focus.

[Lara] I see it.

[Jor-El] The planet's
atmosphere and climate

closely resemble our own.

It could support life as we know
it with certain variations.

[Kal crying]

[rumbling]

[Jor-El] Quick, out of the building.

[man over PA] Attention. Attention.

The following scientists
report immediately

to the Hall of Wisdom.

Lo-Di, Jor-El, Mia.

Take Kal to the underground
zithium tube.

[Lara] Be careful, Jor-El.

[intense music]

Friends, it would now appear
that the shaking has stopped.

Forgive us for summoning you
from your laboratories.

Mia, Lo-Di.
We acted in panic.

- Since the danger is over--
- I disagree.

- You disagree?
- Yes, Ka-Do.

- Mia and Lo-Di disagree too.
- Mia and Lo-Di disagree?

Speak, Lo-Di. Tell Ka-Do of our
experiments and conclusions.

Well, three years ago
after the ground quakes

we experienced at that time--

We felt it our duty as
the leading scientists

of the planet Krypton to--

[Ka-Do] You have no duty but those

assigned to you by the science council.

Ka-Do, this is no time
for petty protocol.

Krypton is doomed.

Because of a few ground quakes?

Our experiments prove
that internal stresses

deep within our planet have
caused instability at the core.

Very soon Krypton will
explode like a giant bomb.

What do you propose to
do about it, Jor-El?

Build giant space arks

to carry our people to
another world, Earth.

Even now, it might be
too late, but if we--

How anyone with your intelligence

could suggest such a thing
is beyond my understanding.

Perhaps he doesn't remember
what happened 20 years ago

when another group of
scientists built space arks.

It was their plan to exile the
ruling council in space.

[Ka-Do] Is that your plan, Mia?

Ka-Do, I did not suggest
building space arks.

Nor did I, Ka-Do.

Jor-El, I'm afraid the
ruling council must decide

on whether to bring charges
of treason against you.

[theme music]

[Jor-El] They wouldn't listen to me.

[Lara] But, Mia and Lo-Di,
weren't they there?

Ka-Do intimidated them.

You might say he scared them to death.

They're afraid to do anything
to save themselves.

So they'll all die.

[Marvin] In the following days

Lara worked hard to perfect
the guidance system

while Jor-El got the rocket ship ready

for its long perilous
journey through space.

[Lara] Jor-El, it is
ready to be installed.

Jor-El, this rocket ship is too
small to carry the three of us.

[Jor-El] It's big enough
for you and Kal.

But can't we build a bigger one?

- There isn't time, Lara.
- We could get help.

No, we're lucky they haven't
found out about this one.

They would destroy it if they did know.

[man over PA] Attention. Attention.

Astro-scientist Jor-El

report to the science
council, immediately.

Jor-El, I'm afraid.

Let's not fear what we
have no knowledge of yet.

You install the guidance system

if I don't return within two
hours, don't wait for me.

Therefore, it is the decision
of the science council

that you be deposed as
astro-scientist of Krypton.

And you are hereby ordered to
cease all scientific activity.

I beg of you to listen.

We listened, and what
we heard was nonsense.

Your blindness is condemning billions.

It's been weeks since you
said Krypton was doomed.

Look about you, Jor-El.
Do you see doom?

[rumbling]

Jor-El, wait!
We were wrong, Jor-El. Help us.

It's too late.
There is no help for any of us!

- Where's Kal?
- Here, in the rocket ship.

I've checked all the instruments.

If only I'd had time to build
a full-size rocket ship.

At least our baby will be saved.

And you. There's room for you.

No. I can't go, Jor-El.

My place is at your side.

Please, Lara, get in.

No. Besides, without my weight

the ship has a better
chance of reaching Earth.

[Jor-El] Well, at least our
son will outlive his world.

Mwah. Goodbye, Kal, my son.
Mwah.

[mellow music]

[Jor-El] Ready, Lara?

Quickly, so I don't have time to think.

On that strange planet Earth,
Jor-El, will he be alright?

Yes, a Kryptonian on that
tiny planet will have

tremendous strength due to
the Earth's lesser gravity.

And the greater energy of its yellow sun

will give him other fantastic powers.

boom

[dramatic music]

[Kal crying]

[Martha] Jonathan, look.
What's that thing over there?

[Jonathan] By George, it
looks like a rocket ship,

right out of the funny papers.

- Listen.
- It's coming from that thing.

[Kal crying]

A baby crying, that's what it is.

The hatch must have
sprung open when it hit.

Hurry, Jonathan.
It may need help.

Ah, here he is. Unhurt.

Oh, he's a darling.

He's like the child we
always wanted, Jonathan.

[Jonathan] Now, Martha...

[Martha] Please, couldn't
we keep him, Jonathan?

[Jonathan] Well, there are
certain formalities.

[Jonathan] And, of course,
sir, we're aware

that anyone finding an abandoned child

is supposed to bring it
here to the orphanage.

Yes. Well, you've done the right thing.

Nurse, take the child to the dispensary.

Jonathan and I, well, we've decided

we'd like to adopt the baby.

Hmm. I see.

Well, you understand,
we must investigate

all applicants carefully, Mrs. Kent.

Of course.
How long will that take?

Not too long.

We'll let you know as soon as possible.

[Martha] Why couldn't we tell them
how we found the baby, Jonathan?

For the same reason we're going
to hide the rocket, Martha.

A million curious questions
from scientists, promoters.

And, I suppose, then they'd
never let us keep the baby.

Someone would find a way
to use him for profit.

[Jonathan] That's right, Martha.

So best we just keep the
story to ourselves.

I don't understand it.

I've broken four needles trying
to vaccinate the child.

[female 2] His skin is like steel.

I'm going to discuss
this with Dr. McCarthy.

Alright, young man.

Doctor!

How did he get up there?

I don't know.

[Brown] Alright, let's get him down.

[intercom beeping]

- Yes?
- Sir!

[nurse over intercom] Please come
to the dispensary. It's urgent.

Do something, nurse.

Well, I've called the director.

Forget the director, call the Army!

What are you doing, Dr. Brown?

I'm not doing it.
He's doing it.

[ringing]

[Martha] This is Mrs. Kent.

It's the orphanage.

Yes. Yes.

Why, we'll come right away.

You may have the child.

[Jonathan] You certainly did complete

your investigation of us quickly.

Well, in special cases
we move very fast.

Thank you so much.

[chuckles] Strong, isn't he?

[Jonathan] We'll be glad
to pay for the pen.

Never mind, just get him out of here.

I mean, uh, you'll want
to get the dear child

to his new home right away.

At last, we have a child, Jonathan.

What shall we name him?

Why not name him after
your family, Martha.

Well, that's quite a story.

Yes, Marvin.

Say, what did they name him?

[Marvin] Sorry, that is top-secret.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, in
London, at the Bank of England

Superman and the directors
of the bank watch

as a technician implants the
microdot homing device

on the diamond. And in Egypt,
a similar scene takes place.

Good. Now, please return
the diamond to the crypt.

Alright, Robin, we can begin to patrol.

Batman, it's sure hot.

Naturally, Robin. We're at the
edge of the Sahara desert.

[Robin] We should have
rented air-cooled camels.

[both laughing]

[male narrator] In the North Atlantic,
the yacht of Howard Small.

Having supervised the
placing of a microdot

on the Howard Small diamond

Aquaman protects the ocean-going vessel

from his own element.

And, nearby

Wonder Woman lends a vigilant eye

as she wings through clear skies.

But the skies above
London are not clear.

The usual cloudiness prevails.

And above those clouds...

- We are over London, Wilbur.
- I'm ready, Dr. LeBon.

The gyroscopes in the
balloons, they're all set?

All set, doctor.

[LeBon] Directional equipment in order?

[Wilbur] A-okay, sir.

Are you about to steal
another diamond, Dr. LeBon?

I prefer the word "borrow," Marvin.

You may prefer the word "borrow"

but there's one word that truthfully

describes what you're
about to do... steal.

Yeah.

You just watch your
language, Wonder Dog.

Dr. LeBon, I must protest.

Our presence here makes us
accessories to a crime.

That's right. That's a 3-14.

What's a 3-14?

I don't know, I always hear them

giving numbers on police shows.

I insist you land immediately

and take us to a bus depot.

Sorry, Wendy.
I just can't do that right now.

Release first balloon.

First balloon released.

[LeBon] Release second balloon.

[Wilbur] Second balloon released.

[LeBon] Release third balloon.

[Wilbur] Third balloon released.

Four, five, six.

[LeBon] Activate transfer.

Transfer activated.

All beams activated.

[indistinct chatter]

[Superman] Gentlemen, your
diamond is in the process

of being transferred out of your vault.

- Your diamond has been stolen.
- Impossible, Superman.

Here it is, right here.

If you look closely you'll notice

the microdot homing device

is not on that gem you're holding.

By George, you're right.
The microdot is gone.

Gone with the 100-karat diamond.
That gem is a cheap substitute.

My word, Superman is right.
This is a worthless zircon.

Are we just going to stand here
and let them get away with it?

May I use your communications room?

My pleasure, Superman.

- Calling Batman and Robin.
- Go ahead, Superman.

[Superman over radio]
Their target was the Bank of London.

They've stolen the diamond.

Then we go into action... at once.

There it is, Robin, on the
panel the homing beam.

[Robin] Holy high-pitched
noises, Batman.

That homing signal comes
through on our set so loud

it's a wonder we need any instruments.

Superman wouldn't, his super-hearing

would catch it without them.

Calling Wonder Woman.
Come in, Wonder Woman.

I read you. Go ahead, Superman.

[male narrator] On station above the sea

Wonder Woman receives the
latest on the diamond theft

then activates her homing
receiver to pick up the sound

of the microdot and swoops
down to pick up Aquaman.

I say, Superman.

If you delay any longer

won't those thieves get away?

I don't want to get too close to them.

You don't?

I want them to have a little head start

and that's just about enough.

Well, up, up, and away.

[male narrator] In Dr. LeBon's spaceship

Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder
Dog look on, as...

There it is, Dr. LeBon.

Oh, that looks like the
purest one of them all.

[Wilbur] It must be worth
a million dollars.

Or 10 years in jail.

You know, there are times when I find

young people very distressing.

In that case, you should be
glad to see the last of us.

You can set us down in any
city in the United States.

[LeBon] Sorry, I can't do that.

[Wonder Dog growling]

And there are times when I find
young dogs very depressing.

What you're gonna find depressing

is when Superman finds you.

We don't wanna get Superman mad at us.

Uh, maybe we should stop at
the nearest bus station

and let them off.

I can't do that.

Not until we split the planet.

After we split the planet,

I will personally deliver
them to their homes.

Please be patient,
Wendy, now that we have

all the diamonds we need,
it'll all be over very soon.

[microdot signal droning]

[male narrator] As the
craft speeds onward

the microdot transmits

its super high-frequency signal

unheard, except by
sophisticated instruments

and certain extraordinary ears.

[howling]

[Marvin] What's your
problem, Wonder Dog?

[male narrator] Yes, by
sensitive canine ears.

And even at great distance,

by the super-human ears of Superman

as he closes the distance
between himself

and his objective.

Departing their Egyptian stakeout

Batman and Robin approach

from another point of the compass.

That signal is coming
in stronger, Batman.

Keep a sharp look out, Robin.
We don't want them to spot us.

[male narrator] And from
their post in the Atlantic

Wonder Woman and Aquaman home
in on the microdot signal.

Better throttle back, Wonder Woman

we don't want to catch up with them.

Not until they lead us to the
rest of their diamonds.

[LeBon] Cygnus-Uno, the
culmination of my dreams.

- Are you ready yet, Wilbur?
- Another few seconds, doctor.

You are about to witness
an historic event

Wendy and Marvin.
And you too, Wonder Dog.

In a few moments I will direct

the powerful beam of my planet
splitter at Cygnus-Uno.

Watch closely and I'll
show you what will happen

in this simulated duplication.

With my secret formula concentrating

the full power of the diamonds

I will split Cygnus-Uno.

zap

And I will then use the same power

to pull half that planet into
orbit around the Earth.

Hey, that's not bad.
We'll have two moons.

But that new moon, half of Cygnus-Uno

contains more than enough
natural resources to replenish

all of those we on Earth
have so wastefully used up.

The world will be everlastingly
grateful to me.

Or awfully mad at you.

My dear young lady

why on earth would the
world be mad at me?

[Wendy] Because bringing that
other planet so close to Earth

will cause floods and avalanches.

Hey, that's right, if the
gravitational pull of the moon

causes high tides and things like that

bringing another moon close
to Earth is a terrible idea.

[LeBon] I am a scientist, I would
not have embarked on a project

without proper experimentation.

Wilbur and I have conducted
exhaustive tests

haven't we, Wilbur? Wilbur?

Now, where could Wilbur have gone?

Oh, no.

- There's Superman.
- Obviously, we have arrived.

You can turn off your
homing device, Robin.

Shall we go in?

Wonder Woman and Aquaman
are just arriving

we'll wait for them.

Well, I can't wait for Wilbur.

The moment has arrived, my friends.

And now we are ready.

Those doors are huge, Superman.
Won't we have to smash them?

No need to destroy when my X-ray eyes

can provide a better solution.

Yes, there's the lifting control.

Wait, Dr. LeBon.

I have been waiting for
this moment for years

and now you ask me to wait again.

Please, let the Super Friends
know what you're doing.

Why would I do something
as ridiculous as that?

If you really are doing
this to help people

then the Super Friends
will be on your side.

Sure, the Super Friends are
always on the side of people

who want to help people.

- Yeah.
- Thank you, but no thanks.

I've had nothing but obstruction

from all the so-called well-wishers.

The scientific community insisted

my project was doomed to failure.

The civic leaders laughed at me.

The businessmen refused
to finance my efforts.

But Super Friends don't laugh at people.

In a few moments nobody will ever laugh

at Dr. Luscius Leroy LeBon again.

So why do I need Super Friends?

Just in case something goes wrong.

Right.

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

Stand back, my friends.

The planet splitter is ready to fire.

Correction, Dr. LeBon.

[Marvin and Wendy] The Super Friends!

We'd like a word with you, sir.

Sorry, gentlemen, I don't have time.

Hurry. He's going to
split a planet in half.

Holy supernovas.
We've gotta stop him.

No need for that, Robin.

Dr. LeBon will get very little
power from his control panel.

[LeBon] Very little power? Ha! Watch.

Now you will see enormous power.

fizz

Uh? What has happened to my power?

My process for concentrating
power from diamonds

was foolproof.

Perhaps, but those are not diamonds.

They have to be.
I stole them myself.

Someone has replaced them with zircons.

Nobody could do that.

Nobody was at this control panel but me.

- And Wilbur.
- Wilbur?

Not my trusted assistant.
It couldn't be.

- Where is Wilbur, doctor?
- I don't know.

If Wilbur took the diamonds,
I doubt very much

if he's around here.

Well, it'll be simple to
find out where he is.

One of those diamonds carries
a microdot transmitter.

Robin, activate your homing receiver.

Right, Batman.

[beeping]

The needle points straight down.

He's trying to escape

through the subterranean
coal mine tunnels.

Let's go after him.

[Batman] You and Wendy
take Wonder Dog out

to the Batplane and wait.

I'll show you where he is.

Sorry, Dr. LeBon. You and I are
going to the police station

where you can explain
about the diamonds.

But-but Wilbur, he'll get away.

Not with the Super Friends after him.

[dramatic music]

Wilbur stealing diamonds.
It's hard to believe.

He seemed so nice.

Well, as Batman says

you can't always trust the obvious.

Look, the circus wagon.

Hey, I've never gotten a close
look at a circus wagon before.

[dramatic music]

Hey, this is fun, Wendy.

Marvin, just don't touch
any of the controls.

We don't want to start
this thing by accident.

I won't, but, uh, hey,
what's this thing?

- Hey!
- What was that?

I don't know, but I'd
better turn it off.

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

[Superman] I don't know who treed who

but Wonder Dog has the
lid on the situation.

[Marvin] Yeah, Wonder Dog does it again.

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

[Wendy] Well, Cygnus-Uno
is still in one piece.

I guess in spite of himself,
Wilbur did some good.

When he took the diamonds out
of the doctor's machine

he destroyed its power.

The planet splitter never
would have worked.

Dr. LeBon said he did
a lot of experiments

to prove that it would.

And he showed us reports
that Wilbur made out.

Yes, but Wilbur made out false reports.

The experiments had actually failed.

But Wilbur wanted those
diamonds so badly

he let Dr. LeBon think the
project could succeed.

And right now, thanks to Wonder Dog

Wilbur is making a
different kind of report.

A report to the authorities.

Yeah. Wonder Dog, I want you to know...

Hey, he was just here a minute ago.

Wendy, did you see him leave?

No, but I think I have a
good idea where he is.

Wonder Dog's been very restless
since we put him on a diet

so I put a microdot homing device

on his favorite steak bones.

[beeping]

[instrumental music]

[beeping]

Mmmh! Yum-yum-yum!

Wonder Dog, is that what
you call being on a diet?

[Marvin] You wanna get fat, Wonder Dog?

[Wonder Dog mumbling]

Alright, from now on, Wonder Dog

you're to stick to your diet.

- That's telling him, Wendy.
- Yeah.

Mm. Mm.

[Aquaman] This is Aquaman
for the Super Friends.

Next week, a mysterious red tide

puts us on the underwater trail

of strange visitors from another planet.

Visitors who want
something from our ocean

and are determined to get it.

It's a wild and watery chase

they lead us next week
on "Super Friends..."
