[theme music]

[male narrator] Superman!

Wonder Woman!

Batman and Robin!

Aquaman!

Black Vulcan!

Samurai!

Apache Chief!

Together they form the world's greatest force

of good ever assembled.

Dedicated to truth, peace, and justice for all mankind.

These are the Super Friends.

[male narrator] Somewhere in the lifeless swamps of darkest Africa...

[dramatic music]

[Vampiress] Oh, great spirits of the underworld

I rise again to claim more victims.

No one is safe from Vampiress.

The Voodoo Vampire.

[laughing]

[male narrator] Moments later, in the dense African jungle...

We'll set up camp by the river.

What's that?

[screeching]

It's the Voodoo Vampire. Run! Run!

Do not fear! There is no escape from my voodoo spell.

Zap zap zap

Everything's clear from Tanzania to the Congo, Robin.

Time to head south toward the cape.

[beeping]

It's the TroubAlert. Switch on the monitor, Robin.

This is Malu Mabiti, calling anyone on this frequency.

Our safari is under attack.

Being chased by the Voodoo Vampire.

No!

Holy fang face, Batman!

He never got a chance to give us his location.

No problem, Robin.

The Batcomputer scanner will home in on the signal.

It's no use, Batman. There's nowhere to land in this jungle.

I'm putting the Batjet on autopilot, Robin.

Brace yourself. We're going to eject.

[dramatic music]

Careful, Robin, this jungle can be deadly.

I don't understand it, Batman.

There's no sign of trouble anywhere.

[hissing]

Zap zap zap

I think you spoke too soon.

[screeching]

I-I can't get it off. Ah!

Hang on, Batman! The Bat Stunner will stop it.

Holy squeeze play!

Looks like I got here just in time.

Zap zap zap

Not bad shooting, if I do say so myself.

Thanks, Black Vulcan. How did you find us?

I picked up the distress call on my radio.

Thought you might need some assistance.

Looks like you thought right. Come on.

We got here as soon as we could. Are you alright?

We're just fine.

Just as you three will be.

Zap zap zap

Nice block, Robin.

Now to sow them up with the Bat Stitchers.

Phew! That was close.

You three are quite capable.

I will be proud to turn you into my vampire slaves.

Zap zap zap

Oh, no! They got Batman.

Take it easy, Batman.

Black Vulcan and I will help you.

S-S-S! Thanks, Robin, but that won't be necessary.

Zap zap zap

hiss hiss

Do not resist, Black Vulcan.

You will be better off as one of us.

Zap zap

boom

[Batman] Our power was too much for him.

He's disintegrated.

Come! I must find more victims before my work is done.

You need look no further, Vampiress.

We'll take the Batjet to the Hall of Justice

and transform the other Super Friends.

[laughing]

[Vampiress laughing]

Great lightning! I've got to get back to the Hall of Justice

and warn the others.

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

I got here as soon as I could, Aquaman.

- What's the emergency? - I don't know, Superman.

I have a priority one message from Batman

insisting we meet him here.

[Batman] I can explain everything.

Batman, Robin. What's the problem?

The problem is you.

Zap zap zap

Great Scott!

They're in some sort of voodoo trance.

I've got to snap them out of it.

Zap zap zap

Sorry to have to pin you up like prisoners.

But I've got to find a way to change you back.

That won't be necessary.

Now, you're one of us.

[Vampiress laughing]

[Vampiress] Now that I have enough vampire slaves

we shall all return to my underground tomb in the swamp.

Come.

I hope I'm not too late. Batman's message sounded urgent.

Whoosh

Sorry if I startled you, Wonder Woman.

But I had to stop you before you walked right into their hands.

[Wonder Woman] I don't understand. Where are they going?

[Black Vulcan] Back to Africa. I'll explain on the way.

whoosh

We've got to stop them before they vanish

into the swamp forever.

[male narrator] Later, as Vampiress and the others

reach the continent of Africa...

[Vampiress] Come, slaves, it is time to descend

into the lower regions of the swamp.

Enter, my captive ones.

Not so fast, bat lady.

We still have a few super tricks up our sleeves.

Your flimsy rope cannot deter Vampiress.

Zap zap zap

Stop her! I command you.

Okay, Black Vulcan. Now!

I just hope this works.

No! The light!

The light! Stop it!

Curse you, Super Friends.

Vampiress shall return!

Thank you, Super Friends.

Without your help, I'm afraid we would've perished.

That was a close one, alright.

I hope I never see a bat again.

Present company excluded, of course.

[theme music]

[Gleek snoring]

[alarm blaring]

[gibberish]

[Gleek chattering]

Oh, I better be dreaming, Gleek

because if you just woke me up, you're in big trouble.

[Gleek chattering]

I'll be darned if I know what he's trying to say.

Zan! Look!

[Zan] Oh, my gosh! We're being invaded.

Come on. We've got to notify the Super Friends.

Not yet. Let's check it out first.

[sonic humming]

At last, we have found planet called Earth.

[gibberish]

I don't believe it.

Those ships are filled with Exxorian monkeys.

Come on, Jayna. Let's introduce ourselves.

Boy, you guys sure had us worried for a minute.

We thought you were some kind of cosmic invaders.

[chattering]

Destroy them!

Zap zap zap

Those spaced out simians are dangerous.

We'll show them they can't monkey around with us.

[Wonder Twins in unison] Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Form of a giant tortoise!

Shape of an ice turret!

Okay, Jayna, move out.

Zap zap zap

[growling]

Zap zap zap

It's no use, Jayna.

That mechanical monkey must be frost-free.

[Wonder Twins in unison] Wonder Twin powers, deactivate!

[chattering]

So, you are the one called Gleek.

[gibberish]

Liar! We have been monitoring you for years.

You will give us the information we need to take over the planet.

The brain-blaster will change your mind.

Zap zap zap

[chattering]

Oh, no! Gleek's been brainwashed.

Take us to Super Friend computer.

Excellent! I take over from here.

[automated voice] Justice League computer file.

SF1. Subject Superman.

The most powerful of the Super Friends.

Totally indestructible except in the presence of Kryptonite.

[chattering]

[automated voice] File SF2. Subject Wonder Woman.

Possesses great strength and agility

but rendered helpless when tied with her own Magic Lasso.

File SF3. Batman and Robin.

Known for their great intelligence

however without their utility belts

they are no stronger than average humans.

Jupiters! Those sinister simians have found out

the Super Friends' weaknesses.

Thanks to comrade Gleek, we soon control Earth.

We hide now. Ambush Super Friends.

[laughing]

[male narrator] Later, as the Super Friends return to the Hall of Justice...

[Wonder Woman] Batman, look at this.

Someone's been playing with the Justice League memory tapes.

[Superman] I wouldn't worry about it, Wonder Woman.

Probably just the twins catching up on their super studies.

[chattering]

Holy monkey shine! We're surrounded.

Don't get excited, Robin. They can't harm us.

That's what you think, Superman.

No! It's Kryptonite.

Great Gotham! These space monkeys mean business.

Quick, Robin, the Bat Hooks.

They're gone! They've swiped our utility belts.

I'll round up the little critters with my Magic Lasso.

Zap zap zap

Soon Super Friends be gone.

Exxor monkeys rule world.

[cackling]

Gleek, take care of Super Friends.

[chattering]

Oh, no!

Gleek's gonna zap the Super Friends

with the Justice League disintegrator ray.

Come on, Zan. Stretch! Ugh!

[in unison] Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Shape of an ice catapult!

[Jayna] Form of an electric eel!

Fire away, Zan!

Couple of wonder volts ought to snap you out of it.

Zap zap

[chattering]

You're our only hope, Gleek.

You've got to free the Super Friends.

Come on. It's time we stop those moronic space monkeys.

[monkey 1] Stop them!

Pardon me, while I disintegrate your integrated circuits.

[growling]

Slam

[chattering]

Super Friends not give away so easy.

Now to escort these primate prisoners to planet Exxor.

I'm sure glad we got rid of them.

One Gleek is more than enough.

[Jayna] Gleek!

That's a banana blaster!

[sonic humming]

[chattering]

[theme music]

[male narrator] We now continue with the "Super Friends."

Responding to an emergency call from the Hall of Justice

Superman arrives with blinding speed.

I got here as quick as I could. What's the trouble?

Can you hear it, Superman?

Yes, it sounds like a typewriter.

Exactly.

Only we can't seem to figure out where it's coming from.

Beep beep

It's the TroubAlert.

[zapping]

Great Scott! That giant robot is threatening the city.

We've got to stop him.

Holy impossibilities! Look at that!

You won't stop me, super fools.

I'll stop you.

You're in for a big surprise, you bucket of bolts.

Your power is nothing compared to mine.

A kryptonite web.

I'm helpless.

My energy ring will take that metallic grin off your face.

[Batman] Quick, Robin, the Bat Lasers.

[zapping]

You waste your time, Bat pink.

Nothing can stop me.

Batman! Look out!

Now that you have witnessed the destruction of your comrades

you're next, super jerk.

Just a minute.

Bat pink? Wonder weirdo? Super jerk?

Well, there's only one person in the universe

who talks like that.

Mxyzptlk.

Now you've gone and done it, super clots.

You just ruined my story.

That must be the typewriter we heard.

That's right, super smarties.

It's my newest fifth dimensional invention.

Anything I type on it comes true.

And now, for my reading pleasure

I'm going to write the great American novel.

With you super freaks as the main characters.

That's what you think, Mxyzptlk.

Invisible shield.

Temper, temper, temper.

Mxyzptlk must have escaped

from his fifth dimensional universe again.

The only way to get him back is to trick him

into saying his name backwards.

Let's see, what kind of story shall I write?

I know, a monster story.

[chuckles] Once upon a time...

Great Neptune! He's created a protoplasmic blob.

I'll get him.

Splosh

No, no, that's not right.

How about a disaster story?

[Batman] It's an earthquake.

No, it'll never sell.

I got it!

It'll be a classic even Shakespeare would be proud of.

I'm going to write a story about the Super Friends

destroying one another.

[chuckling]

We'll destroy you first, Mxyzptlk.

- He's gone. - But not forgotten.

[Mxyzptlk] Once upon a time...

Superman and Aquaman have vanished.

[male narrator] Helplessly absorbed into Mxyzptlk's deadly story

Superman and Aquaman arrive at a fictional town

in the Old West.

Great Scott! This looks like "Tombstone Territory."

Listen. Mxyzptlk is typing again.

Alright, Superman, come along quietly

or I'll blast you with my Kryptonite six shooters.

Oh, no! Mxyzptlk is typing words into my mind.

I can't resist them.

Give it up, Aquaman.

You'll never outdraw kid Superman.

[intense music]

[zapping]

This town will be needing a new sheriff

by the time I'm done with you.

[clanging]

Have a pleasant trip, Aquaman.

It'll be your last.

[Superman laughs]

[chugging]

Nice going, super shooter.

You really stuck it to that aquadrip, didn't you?

Oh, no! What have I done?

You done real fine, pardner.

[chuckling]

You know something, you're not half bad, super ham.

I'll bet I get a million for the rights to this story.

You've got to stop this nonsense, Mxyzptlk.

You've gone too far.

Oh, pipe down, super mouth.

I'm about to write a brilliant ending

to my superific scenario.

And now, the two most powerful super chumps

will battle till the end

and the winner will get the lead role in my next novel.

Well, Superman, we finally get to see

which one of us is the stronger.

It's no contest, you green-faced freak.

Looks like it's my advantage.

Let's see how you stand up against my heat vision.

[zapping]

No problem, laser eyes.

You're trapped in my energy bubble

and you'll never get out alive.

Great Scott!

This energy bubble is shielding us

from Mxyzptlk's magic typewriter.

You're right, Superman.

And we still have time to save Aquaman.

But first, I'll separate us.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, back in the Wild West

Aquaman speeds helplessly toward his doom.

Zap zap

thud

[instrumental music]

You've ruined my story.

And just when the Super Friends were about to disappear forever.

I don't understand it.

How did you resist my typewriter?

We didn't. It must be broken.

Maybe I can fix it.

There. Try it now.

It still doesn't work.

All it writes is "KLTPZYXM."

[gasps] Oh, no! I read my name backwards.

You tricked me. You always cheat.

You, you, you!

Superman! You're safe. What happened?

I'd rather not talk about it, Batman.

But you're welcome to read the whole story.

[all laughing]
