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

Batman and Robin!

Superman!

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!"

[theme music]

[instrumental music]

Ah, it sure is nice...

Hm, hm, to take a vacation

from the superhero business, Jayna.

You said it, Zan.

There's nothing like roasting hot dogs under the stars.

[chattering]

[Jayna] Sorry, Gleek, roasting bananas is great, too.

[chattering]

I think I've had enough to eat.

What say we get some shut eye?

Good idea, sis, we've got a long day

of hiking and fishing ahead of us.

See you in the morning, Gleek.

[chattering]

[snoring]

[dramatic music]

Aaah!

Uh-oh.

Crash

Hey, what's going on?

Gleek! I told you to be careful if you slept over the tent.

Yi-ee!

That wasn't Gleek.

I-it looked like some sort of troll.

There's dozens of them. And they look awful scared of something.

Zan, look.

[clamoring]

Come on, Jayna, we've got to find out what's wrong.

Hey, wait a minute. We want to help.

No, must run. Must get away.

What's going on? What are you running from?

Mal Havok.

- What does he mean "Mal Havok"? - I don't know, Jayna.

But there's only one way to find out, come on.

[dramatic music]

Z-Zan!

[growling]

[chattering]

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

There, the process is started, Superman.

This plutonium bombardment I've developed

should make my cape impenetrable

to any radiation or energy force.

[Wonder Woman] It looks good, Batman.

But let's hope it stands up under fire.

[chattering]

It's Gleek!

What are you doing back here, Gleek?

You're supposed to be with Zan and Jayna.

[chattering]

[shrieks]

Holy pantomimes! I think Gleek's gone bananas!

No, Robin, he's trying to tell us

that something happened to the Wonder Twins.

[chattering]

Okay okay, lead the way, Gleek.

[Wonder Woman] Are you sure this is the spot, Gleek?

[chattering]

Well, let's take a look.

[intense music]

[chattering]

Gleek seems to be indicating that this is the place.

There's no sign of the twins or a struggle.

[Robin] I hope this isn't some sort of practical joke, Gleek.

Quiet, I think I hear something.

There's something going on up ahead. Follow me.

[hammering]

[dramatic music]

[Superman] Great Scott! It's the kingdom of middle earth.

[all groaning]

Faster! Faster, I tell you!

There must be thousands of captured trolls down there.

They won't be captured for long.

Faster, you sniveling trolls!

Thud

I hope you like mushrooms.

[clanking]

Zan! Jayna!

Oh, no! Super Friends!

Don't worry. We'll have you free in a minute.

[male 1] I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

You'll have to deal with me first.

Mal Havok!

Speaking of deals, this hand's mine.

[whirring]

We'll see how tough you are with my magic lasso tied around you.

You handle your lasso quite well.

But now, we'll see just how well.

Great Hera!

The Bat-Force field will stop your black magic.

It looks like you've finally been bottled up.

And you better free those trolls

if you ever want to be uncorked.

It is a strange device you've encased me in.

Someday, I must study your primitive powers.

But first, I will show you what true power is.

[zapping]

[chattering]

Now, that you've been transformed

you'll make a welcome addition to my troll mines.

[evil laughter]

[intense music]

[clinking]

These energy chains are unbreakable.

Holy exhaustion!

A few more hours of this digging, and I'll be a goner.

And with our powers gone

there's little chance of escaping.

[clinking continues]

Get up, troll, or you'll be put into the diamond cave

where no one survives.

Come on, Robin. You can make it.

Wait a minute, we may have lost our physical strength

but Wonder Woman and I still have our devices.

But even if we could escape, how would we now stop Mal Havok?

- I may be able to help. - Who are you?

I am Baldiskan, king of the trolls.

If you have the power and courage

I know how to stop Mal Havok.

What do we have to do?

These giant diamond chips will cut through our energy bands.

We must hurry.

[dramatic music]

It worked! Wonder woman and I will go with Baldiskan.

We'll be back as soon as we can.

Follow me.

[intense music]

[chattering]

There, up ahead.

This boulder guards a passageway.

We must move it.

It's no use. We're too weak.

[Mal Havok] Don't strain yourselves.

[evil laughter]

You've troubled me for the last time.

Ah, we're doomed!

Wait! My fusion cape!

Your cape can't hold out forever, Batman.

No. But I know how to get us out of here. Stand back.

I've only been toying with you so far.

[evil laughter] But now, now, you shall all see your end.

Boom

- Hurry, this way. - Fools!

[Mal Havok] You think you've escaped me.

But you've only succeeded in sealing your fate.

That passage you've entered is the cave

of the Three Deadly Tasks.

No one can survive it! Ha ha ha!

We've been walking for hours. Where are we going?

This tunnel leads to the Magic Ring of Gandor.

With it, we can rid Middle Earth of the evil Mal Havok.

I just hope we can reach it... alive.

Gulp

[dramatic music]

Hold it. Baldiskan, what's that breathing sound?

I don't know, but in this sinister cave

you can expect anything.

[heavy breathing]

[roaring]

Great Hera, the tunnel's alive!

[roaring]

[intense music]

I don't have the strength...

...to break free of this... cave monster.

- There's nothing we can do. - Maybe there is.

With my magic lasso, I may be able to defang

that metamorphic mouth.

[swooshing]

[rumbling]

Quick, this way.

[intense music]

[rumbling continues]

I'm sure glad, we made it past the first of three deadly tasks.

Phew

I barely escaped with my life.

Don't be too confident, Super Friends.

The worst is yet to come.

[clanking]

We've got to keep our strength up.

I just hope Batman and Wonder Woman are doing alright.

[Mal Havok] They haven't a chance, fools.

[evil laughter]

And you shall pay for their escape.

- Take those two! - As you wish, Mal Havok.

Oh, no! What're you going to do with us?

[chains rattling]

You'll be placed in the diamond cage.

'But don't worry, you won't suffer... much.

[evil laughter]

[dramatic music]

Keep a watchful eye.

The Land of Giant Roots has many dangers.

- Great Zeus, what's that? - It's the spider people!

We're in terrible danger. Hurry.

[music continues]

Baldiskan.

[grunting]

Intruders to our world pay a heavy price.

This web has got an iron grip on me.

My Bat Laser may be able to cut us free.

Snap

Your weapons will do you no good.

[hissing]

- I think we've had it. - Maybe not. Listen.

[roaring]

[Baldiskan] It's the giant snails.

Great Gotham! As if the spider creatures weren't bad enough.

No. Batman, look.

[roaring]

[hissing]

Thud

Who'd believe it?

Saved from spider creatures by giant snails.

They've been friends of the troll kingdom for centuries.

Get on the others. We've little time.

Our strange ones escape again.

Gorka must tell Mal Havok.

[intense music]

[creaking]

I can't see what's down there, Zan!

Neither can I, Jayna.

And something tells me I'm glad I don't know.

Holy troll-drivers!

We've got to do something about the Wonder Twins.

If we can just distract the Task Master

we may have a chance.

Zap

Wrong, Supertroll.

You've made your last escape plan.

This time I'm going to destroy you all... for good.

[Gorka] Mal Havok! Mal Havok!

You'd better have good reason to disturb me, fool.

I do, Mal Havok. I do!

Gorka see the strange ones escape

from man-eating cave and the spider creatures.

They're nearing the Magic Ring of Gandor.

Curse that meddling Baldiskan!

I'll show him and his fool companions

that no one defies Mal Havok.

Zap

[dramatic music]

Use caution, we're approaching

the site of the third deadly task.

Do you know what it is, Baldiskan?

No. No one's ever lived through the third task before.

Great flaming troll hammers!

It's the Magic Ring of Gandor!

We seem to be in luck. There's no third deadly task.

I'll get the ring.

[roaring]

[screeches]

Oh, no! It's the dragon of darkness.

The deadliest creature in Middle Earth.

[screeches]

A creature with your hot temper

shouldn't be on the loose without a leash.

[flames roaring]

I better get out of here before I'm

charred by his awful breath.

It's too strong. I can't stop it.

[Baldiskan] We'll never get the ring.

zap

That is true, Baldiskan.

Nor will you escape with your lives.

[whirring]

[screeches]

Mal Havok, may be our ticket out of here.

When I hold up my fusion cape

that's the signal to go for the ring.

[roars]

[dragon screeches]

Your dime store magic isn't strong enough

to stop me Mal Havok.

You'll soon see just how strong it is, mortal.

[snap]

[roars]

[fire crackling]

Get back, you infernal beast!

Now, Wonder Woman.

[swooshing]

- I've got it! - Hurry.

We've got to get the ring back to the troll mine.

Boom

You're through, Baldiskan.

[whirring]

Mal Havok's spell... is too powerful. Go on without me.

Sorry, Baldiskan, we don't abandon our friends.

[dramatic music]

[clanking]

There, you must put the ring on the statue's finger

before Mal Havok returns.

That shouldn't be any problem.

Look! It's Wonder Woman!

With my short troll legs, it's difficult to climb.

You and your friends have made a valiant effort, Baldiskan.

But I'm afraid you've finally lost.

[whirring]

[Wonder Woman] The ring!

[clinking]

Your little game is over, fools.

Now, I shall have my revenge.

Boom

Forget about me, Gleek. You're our only hope.

Get the ring. And put on the statue's finger.

[chattering]

Boom

You've tried my temper for the last time.

Now, I shall summon my greatest power.

And destroy the entire troll kingdom!

[rumbling]

[intense music]

Zap

No!

No!

They've done it.

Zap

We've... returned to normal.

Zap

zap

Supers, what happened?

You've saved Middle Earth, Super Friends.

And rid us of Mal Havok once and for all.

How can we ever repay you?

Don't thank us, Baldiskan.

Gleek's your real hero.

[snoring]

Come on, Gleek, wake up.

You're snoring louder than an earthquake.

You must have been having some dream.

[chattering]

You can tell us about it in the morning, Gleek.

We need some sleep.
