[male narrator] It's the World's Greatest Super Friends.

Batman and Robin!

Superman!

Wonder Woman and Aquaman!

The Wonder Twins!

Banded together to protect the universe

from the forces of evil... the Super Friends!

[theme music]

[male narrator] Dedicated to truth, justice and peace for all mankind.

The World's Greatest Super Friends!

[dramatic music]

[male narrator] Light-years from Earth

in one of the billions of inhabited Solar Systems...

...a strange primitive planet is about to be threatened

with extinction.

[gurgling]

[dramatic music]

[growls]

[music continues]

Fire big enough now. We have big feast.

Poor Tonga.

Ogor! Look!

Oh, a fire in the sky!

[male narrator] As the monstrous and deadly meteor

speeds toward the helpless planet

a familiar face streaks through the nearby heaven.

Things look A-okay in this sector.

I'll make a fast pass through the country and Planetary System

and then head for home. Great Scott!

That planet is on a collision course

with that giant meteor.

Superman to Hall of Justice.

Proceeding with rescue mission at Planet Tarkab.

Fire. Strike any second.

Village doomed!

One super punch and I'll blast that meteor into cosmic dust.

[male narrator] But unbeknownst to Superman, the meteor's

nuclear core reacts to his powerful punch

exploding with thermonuclear force

knocking the man of steel unconscious.

And hurling him into deep space.

Later, trillions of miles across the galaxy

the gravity of another strange planet

attracts Superman's unconscious body.

Thou has finally brought peace to thy kingdom, Arthur VII.

Yes, Sir James, Camelon is safe, so long

as the rebel forces remain without a leader.

Look, sire, a falling star from the heavens.

Boom

Wha-what happened? Where am I?

Thou art in Camelon.

And by thy strange looks

I presume, thou art one of the king's spies.

King? What king?

He claims no knowledge of Arthur VII?

Huh, he must be a spy.

Tell us, man, what is thy name?

Why, I'm, I'm... I don't remember who I am.

Ha ha, this strange one forgets easily, Logan.

He won't soon forget how we treat the king's men.

Leader William, my laser lance?

Here, Logan.

We'll soon see whether thou can jolts

like the knights of the Round Table.

But I have no weapon. I'm defenseless.

It is true. Thou dost have a disadvantage.

Ha ha ha.

Prepare for thy doom, stranger.

Logan!

[horse neighing]

Uh, sorry, if I frightened you.

- I, I don't know what happened. - I beg forgiveness, sire.

I knew not who thou wast.

But, who, who am I?

Thou art one, our Legend had said, would come to help us

overthrow the king.

[Logan] Thou art the Black Knight of Camelon.

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

I don't understand Superman's long overdue.

[Batman] He reported in from Planet Tarkab, hours ago.

You and I had better check it out, Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman, what do you say

Jane and I come along for the ride?

Sorry, Zan, it's far too dangerous.

Oh, come on, how are we

ever gonna learn to be superheroes like you

if everything is always too dangerous?

She's right, Wonder Woman.

Alright, but try not to get in the way.

[male narrator] Later, as the invisible jet arrives at Planet Tarkab...

This planet appears to be barren.

And there's no sign of Superman anywhere.

[grunts]

We better keep moving.

[gasps] Supers, look!

Ogor stop strangers.

[grunts]

Nice catch, Wonder Woman.

Thud

- He's getting away. - He won't get far.

[dramatic music]

With my magic lasso tied around him

he's forced to tell the truth.

- Have you seen Superman? - Me not know Superman.

Only see great God in sky

save village from ball of fire.

That's Superman, alright.

Something must have happened when he stopped that meteor.

It's the Justice League radiation detector.

According to it's direction finder

the source of the radiation is coming from somewhere in space.

That radiation may lead us to Superman.

Let's get back to the invisible jet.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Camelon...

Alright, men, the time has come.

We shall overthrow Arthur VII.

And I shall become King of Camelon.

Charge!

The rebels are advancing on Camelon, sire.

I do not recognize the one who leads them.

Secure the castle! Take arms!

Slam

Take the castle!

[dramatic music]

[clamoring]

[indistinct chatter]

Spider catapult!

[male narrator] As the Black Knight continues his siege

on the kingdom of Camelon...

...Wonder Woman and Aquaman follow the strange

radioactive trail through space.

That meteor must have been highly radioactive.

Superman's left a trail trillions of miles long.

[Wonder Woman] And it's headed straight for that planet up ahead.

Super Friends, this is Arthur VII of Camelon.

Our peaceful kingdom is being attacked

by a ruthless Black Knight. Help us.

We've got to get to Camelon before the kingdom is destroyed.

[Wonder Woman] Hang on.

[zapping]

[dramatic music]

You're finished, Black Knight. Lay down your laser lance.

Arthur's Space knights don't scare me.

A gentle breeze should take care of you.

Boom

[dramatic music]

[whirling]

[screaming]

Looks like, you fellows have been demoted.

Hey. Nice going, Gleek.

[dramatic music]

Splash

I always did like rocking the boat.

Those intruders are thwarting our attack.

I've got to stop 'em.

Thud

[Jayna] Oh, no! We're trapped.

No one sneaks up on the Black Knight.

I will fix that, no good knight.

[whirling]

At last, I've conquered the castle.

- Superman! - I am no mere Superman.

I am the king of Camelon.

Take these prisoners to the dungeon.

[Aquaman] Your Black Knight isn't who you think he is.

As soon as he realizes it, your reign of terror will be over.

Silence, strangers.

Speaking out against the new king

is punishable by death.

But then again, thou accounts to only thy works.

Ha ha ha!

J-J-Jumpin' comet trails! I can't reach you, Jayna.

[gibbering]

Very soon, my friends, thou shalt know the wrath

of the Black Knight.

[thinking] Our only chance is if I can activate

my Justice League emergency beeper.

[beeping]

So, thou thought, thou could trick me with thy magic rope?

[male narrator] But unknown to the evil Logan

Wonder Woman's magic lasso hit its mark...

[beeping]

...sending its emergency signal through deep space

...to the distant Hall of Justice.

[beeping]

Holy life and death, Batman.

It's a priority one emergency.

Wonder Woman and the others must be in terrible danger.

We'll home in on the signal with the bat rocket.

Let's go.

[dramatic music]

[male narrator] Later, on the outskirts of Camelon...

[beeping]

The signal is getting stronger, Robin.

[Robin] It must be coming from that castle.

My bat laser projectors should get us by these guards.

Good evening, gentleman, I am Sir Batman.

And I've come to break entry into your castle.

Thou wont'st get passed this porthole.

He's disappeared.

We better inform the Black Knight.

What? And get flogged for telling those tales.

Okay, thou art right. We'd better keep quiet.

This way.

[dramatic music]

Hail to the new king!

[all] Hail! Hail! Hail!

Double identities, it's Superman.

Come on, Batman, we've gotta save him.

Hold it, Robin. Let's listen.

I shall rule Camelon with strength and with power.

There will be peace throughout the kingdom.

But, sire, if thou art to maintain control

of thy kingdom, thou must tax the people heavily.

Then tax them I shall, until

they all bow down in honor of their new king.

[Batman] Great Gotham!

Superman thinks he's the Black Knight of Camelon.

We'd better find the others and take care of Superman later.

[intense music]

That guard is blocking the entrance to the dungeon, Batman.

The bat magnet will take care of him.

Thwip

I'll take those.

Batman, over here!

It's Arthur VII.

My friends are in great danger. Hurry!

We'll have you free in a minute.

- Batman! - Ah, we are glad to see you.

Look out behind you!

So, another strange one comes to Camelon.

This time, I'll not bother putting thee in the dungeon.

If it's sword play you want, it's sword play you'll get.

Thou swingest a fine laser, stranger

but thou art up against the finest swordsman in Camelon.

Well, in that case, I'll just have to take

that title away from you.

Thou wilt not be so lucky the next time we meet.

Logan goes to tell the Black Knight.

We haven't much time.

But how can we possibly stop Superman?

He's far too strong for us.

We'll have to think of something.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, as the Black Knight's army

enters a nearby village...

The village is just ahead, sire.

Good, Camelon's royal treasury

will soon be overflowing with tax moneys.

It is tax time.

What have you to give in honor of your new king?

Take these, it is all the money we own.

Only three zarthings.

It's an insult to his majesty.

This cow will do well enough.

But it's our last cow.

Without it, there'll be no milk for us.

Which thou rather see? The king without milk?

Cluck cluck

The house of Johnson pays a chair and two chickens.

And what have thou to pay to the king?

I have nothing.

In that case, thy house is confiscated.

Confiscated? Such high taxes are criminal.

Something must be done and soon.

Superman has got to be stopped.

And the only way to stop him is to change him back to himself.

But how? We don't know what happened to him.

That's right, Zan, but maybe one of his men does.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

Good work, Batman.

What did thou want of me?

We want to know how the Black Knight arrived in Camelon.

I, I know'st nothing of such an event.

Oh, we'll soon find out just how much you know.

My magic lasso will compel you to tell the truth.

[Wonder Woman] Now, tell us how did the Black Knight arrive in Camelon?

We found him at the edge of the forest, he lay unconscious.

[Batman] That's more like it. Lead the way.

Holy craters, Superman must have been traveling

thousands of miles per hour to make a depth like that.

The radioactive meteor that superman stopped

must have blown him through space till he landed here.

[Batman] Then it's the strange radioactivity

of these meteor particles

that caused Superman to lose his memory.

What canst thou stop him, Batman?

I am not certain, Your Majesty.

Given enough time, I may be able to reverse the effects.

[Black Knight] You'll have more than enough time

in the dungeon of Camelon.

It's the Black Knight.

[chuckles]

I said thou would'st not be so lucky the next time we met.

Charge!

Great Neptune!

Looks like I caught you in a little squeeze play.

We better think of something fast, Wonder Brother

or we'll wind up a couple of Wonder shish kebabs.

Wonder Twin powers, activate.

Form of a triceratops.

Going up.

Shape of an ice slick.

[screech]

[Jayna] That was slick, Zan, real slick.

Thy reign is over, Arthur VII.

Did somebody say rain?

In that case you better take this umbrella.

[grunting] Let. Let me out.

[screams] Let me out, let me out.

[dramatic music]

Well, now, it looks like I've found a damsel in distress.

I don't need saving, Logan. But you do.

We'll see about that.

[zapping]

I guess it's goodnight for your Knighthood.

If I can just get enough of these radioactive

meteor particles into the tip of this laser lance...

You there, put down you arms and surrender

or I shall destroy you.

Where's your honor, Black Knight?

Haven't I at least the right to face you in the joust?

If that is the way you wish to meet your end, it shall be done.

[dramatic music]

[neighs]

When the tip on my laser lance strikes Superman's lance

the chain reaction will cause an explosion

that may jar Superman back to himself.

if it doesn't destroy me first.

[intense music]

Boom

[horse neighs]

Wha... Wh-where am I?

Batman, what am I doing in this armor?

To tell you the truth, Superman

I've been meaning to ask you that, myself.

[male narrator] Later, within the kingdom of Camelon...

Logan and his men have been taken care of, Your Majesty.

I am in your debt, Super Friends.

A wealth of my kingdom is at your disposal.

Thank you, Arthur. But I think we're even.

After all the trouble I've caused you.

Speaking of trouble, have you seen Gleek lately?

Oh, no, he's found the laser crossbow.

boing

[Jayna] Nice shot, Gleek.

That's what I call a real bulls eye.

I mean, monkey's eye.
