(male narrator) Aquaman
swift and powerful monarch of the ocean
with ability to summon and command
all creatures of the deep.
Aquaman
who with his teenage ally, Aqualad
guards and defends all that lives in the seas
against the forces of evil.
Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas.
[instrumental music]
[whoosh]
Deep in the ocean depths
a strange submarine craft with a bat-wing shape
of a manta ray glides soundlessly
as if stalking its prey.
Within its sleek black hull
a crew of fearsome Manta Men led by Black Manta
Aquaman's arch foe
sets a lethal trap for the King of the Seas.
What is Aquaman's position now?
Our sonar indicates he is coming into scanner range.
(Black Manta) 'There they are.'
Activate the Whale's Brain Scrambler now!
Crack
thud thud thud
[Tusky barking]
- What's the matter, Aquaman? - I don't know.
The fish are trying to tell me something.
[dramatic music]
Look!
A whale running berserk.
Don't worry, I'll handle him.
Instantly from the Sea King's brain
telepathic commands radiate toward the giant sea creature.
Don't waste your effort, Aquaman.
[evil laugh]
Your tele-commands can't get through
my electronic impulses to the whale.
[whale screeching]
Oh, dear.
Can't understand why that whale didn't heed my command.
[whale screeching]
Here he comes again.
(Aquaman) Watch out!
Move, Mera, fast!
[neighing]
[screaming]
[Tusky barking]
- Mera's safe in there. - Yes, but we're not, tadpole.
Duck!
Holy hurricanes, Aquaman, look there!
(Aquaman) 'Oh-oh. That's Black Manta's Sea Saucer.'
I've toyed with them long enough.
Now to turn up all the juice.
(Aquaman) 'Look, Aqualad, on Black Manta's ship.'
'That antenna.'
(Aqualad) 'There's one on the whale too.'
That's what's making this whale berserk.
I'll soon fix that.
Zap
Within seconds, the Sea King's command reaches
a great hammerhead shark cruising nearby.
Creak
That infernal Aquaman.
He's broken my control.
Attack them, Manta-Men. Destroy them.
[whirring]
- Go, Storm! - Come on, Imp!
[Manta-Men screeching]
[dramatic music]
Behind you, Aqualad!
Attaboy, Imp.
I'll take care of those two marine marvels myself.
Zap
Look out, Aqualad.
[whooshing]
zap
Mumbling morays! A trapway.
- We're trapped. - Fight, tadpole. Ugh!
Fight! Ugh! Ah!
[Manta-Men screeching]
No use, Aquaman. Ugh.
Can't even... wiggle.
[grunts]
[evil laugh]
You are finished, Aquaman.
The Seven Seas are now mine to plunder.
- We're doomed, Aquaman. - Not yet.
Zap
Once more, another of Aquaman's loyal sea creatures
obeys his silent orders.
(Aquaman) 'Watch its poison go to work.'
- We're free. - Let's go!
[neighing]
(Aqualad) 'Aquaman, what's that ahead?'
- Looks like a.. - A net of coral.
More of Black Manta's work.
But, but what is it for?
(Aquaman) It's a trap for ships.
I'll summon the sawfish.
Ah, here comes a fat ship
right into my web.
Aquaman? Cutting my coral net!
Quickly, destroy them!
[dramatic music]
Steady, Aqualad.
Now, close them in.
Zap
[Storm neighing]
Keep going, Storm.
Attaboy, Storm.
'That wraps them up, Aquaman.'
Check. But here comes more trouble.
Ride, tadpole, ride!
I'll trap them in that blind canyon.
Zap
[Storm and Imp neighing]
Now I'll crush them!
Crash
He's getting away, Aquaman!
(Aquaman) 'Stay here, Aqualad, I'll get him.'
Stand back, Aquaman. Stand back or I'll...
You'll what, Black Manta?
Let's see how you fight without your fancy weapon.
But I still have these, golden hair.
I can't see him, Aquaman. He's gone.
Don't be too sure, squirt.
I've got a hunch we'll be meeting Black Manta again.
Bumbling blowfish!
Mera!
[Tusky barking]
(Mera) 'Help! Aquaman!'
Better get her out of there before she boils over.
[chuckles] Alright, clam, open up.
Zap
It's about time, Aquaman.
Aquaman, where are you?
Aquaman!
Wait for me!
[Tusky barking]
In just a moment, we'll return with another exciting adventure
featuring a guest star
from the galaxy of super, super heroes.
The Justice League of America.
The divine might and power of the Man of Steel
and the Cosmic Crusader
the winged Avenger
and the King of the Seas
the Tiny Titan
and the Scarlet Streak.
All working together for good against evil
as The Justice League of America.
Boom
(male narrator) A strange drill-nosed craft streaks out of space
torpedoes down and bores beneath the Earth's crust.
Boom
Now another spaceship breaks through the atmosphere.
The Rock Men. They went straight down into the Earth.
Continue pursuit.
We Crystal Men must destroy them
before they get us.
A short while later far below Earth's surface..
Weapons ready for testing.
No time to lose.
Commence test now!
From the Rock Men's weird weapons
electrodes pierce the terrain
emanating beams of magnetic energy
attracting meteors and comets
which rain down on Earth.
[instrumental music]
Within seconds
the Justice League is in action.
Hawkman, you find the source of those magnetic rays.
Roger, Superman.
Green Lantern, let's you and I destroy that space junk.
Let's go!
Circling the planet
the Man of Steel and the Cosmic Crusader
go into action against the deadly shower
of lethal matter from space.
Zap
boom
Hawkman scans the terrain from the sky when suddenly..
Hmm, my hunch says
that spaceship's homing in on my target.
Hawkman to Flash and Atom
intercept approaching spacecraft.
'Vicinity of quadrant Z-4, coordinate 6.'
At once, Flash and the Atom
two more Justice League champions respond.
There it comes, Atom.
Great neutrons, Flash. It's going to bore down under.
Hang on, squirt.
[rumbling]
whoosh
Hold it! Stop this boring action.
- 'He's stopping the ship!' - 'Stop him! Stop him!'
- 'Get a hold of him.' - 'Hey, hold on to him.'
click
[rumbling]
zap
Nice work, Atom. What are these characters up to?
We are Crystal Men from Mercury.
We have no quarrel with you.
We come to destroy our enemies, the Rock people.
Why do you wanna destroy them?
Because at this moment, they are preparing
to destroy our planet from here.
Weapons test completed. Ready for operation.
(Rock Man #1) Set beam coordinates for Mercury.
Commence power build up.
Zap
(Rock Man #2) 'Maximum beam power in three minutes.'
'Standby.'
(Hawkman) If you Crystal Men didn't cause that cosmic storm, who did it?
The Rock Men were testing their apparatus.
Now they will beam a signal
that will destroy the nuclear core of Mercury.
Great Icarus! That could blow up the planet
and wreck the whole solar system.
- We've got to prevent that. - Right.
Green Lantern, you'd better get to Mercury
and destroy that nuclear core.
'You, Hawkman, get to your ship'
'and intercept that beam if necessary.'
And if possible.
I'll go find those Rock Men
hopefully before they fire their beam.
Go, men, go! We'll guard these Crystal Men.
[whooshing]
Tearing down through Earth's crust
the Man of Steel torpedoes through layers of rock
hoping to prevent a galactic holocaust.
Zap
Maximum beam power. Three, two, one, zero!
Boom
Great Scott. I'm too late.
It's up to Hawkman now.
Look, Squeal. They fired!
Hope this works.
Zap
Lucky shot!
Now it's up to Superman.
Zap
Why do you interfere in our vendetta
against the Crystal people?
To prevent needless killing and destruction.
At this moment
in the very center of planet Mercury..
Zap
An invader from Earth.
It's time! Quickly!
Zap
crash
Stand back, everyone.
I must deactivate your orb of power.
No, no! We'll be at the mercy of the Rock Men.
You are now and so is the whole solar system.
Do not believe him. Fire stun cannon!
Zap
Stop! You're making a mistake.
Uh-oh. Now you've done it.
Zap
The orb! It will soon explode.
It will tear the planet apart.
And the entire solar system.
Including Earth.
(Crystal Man #1) 'Let me out! It's about to go!'
(Crystal Man #2) 'It's too late now!'
Only one thing to do.
Contain the blast and pray it works.
Zap
[muffled explosion]
A short while later back on neutral ground
the warring factions agree to a lasting peace.
Next time we meet, let it be in peace and friendship.
Let's go, Justice Leaguers.
[whooshing]
Away!
Swoosh
Coming up next
more action packed adventures
with Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas.
Featuring Aqualad and Tusky the Walrus.
[neighing]
[whirring]
(male narrator) Near an Atlantean power station
Aqualad takes time out for playing with Imp
his sea pony, and Tusky, his pet walrus.
[upbeat music]
bam
[laughing]
Holy haddocks!
A reptile man.
Zap
[dramatic music]
We need help fast.
Calling Aquaman, calling Aq..
[neighing]
[barking]
At this very moment in his secret headquarters
Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas
responds to the call from Aqualad.
Come in, Aqualad. Come in!
He must be in trouble.
Gotta go find him.
[dramatic music]
[Storm neighing]
Full speed, Storm!
[Tusky barking]
He wants us to follow him, Storm.
[neighing]
Destroy everything.
Atlantis will be crippled
without hydropower. Hiss.
[explosion]
[crackling]
If only I could reach Aquaman.
[glass shattering]
Aquaman is coming. Hiss.
All of you, go quickly.
I'll give him a s-surprise welcome.
Oh, man, am I glad to see you.
Aqualad, what's happened here?
Aquaman, look out!
Zap
(Aquaman) 'Give me a hand'.
Good. Now hold tight. I'll get help.
Now from Aquaman's brain
telepathic emanations span out through the deep
summoning a giant sea turtle.
You'll have to bring help from Atlantis, Aqualad
while I track down those Reptile Men.
Check, Aquaman.
Go, Storm, go!
Guided by watery denizens
who have seen the route taken by the Reptile Men
Aquaman soon reaches a remote tunnel
in the ocean floor.
Down streaks the Sea King through the Earth's core
finally to emerge
in a vast subterranean air pocket.
Fantastic.
An underground civilization of Reptile people.
Take him, quickly! The steel net.
Whoa! Oh!
Now nothing shall stop us from over throwing Atlantis-s.
We know that for you
one full hour away from water means death.
So farewell, Aquaman.
[evil laugh]
zap
Storm, go find Aqualad.
'Hurry, Storm.'
As the telepathic message reaches him
Aquaman's faithful steed streaks off to find help.
(Aquaman) 'Hurry, Storm.'
Starting to get... weak.'
[zap] 'Only..'
'...a couple minutes... left.'
Storm, what happened to Aquaman?
[Storm neighing]
Lead the way, big fella. Go!
[dramatic music]
Suffering catfish!
He's tied up out of water!
Hang on, Aquaman.
Just another few seconds.
[grunts]
There.
Splash
Thanks, Aqualad.
Now let's get out of here.
- Aquaman, look! - Uh-oh.
We'll need some help to cover our retreat.
Zap
[dramatic music]
Block 'em off, troops.
Zap
zap
[screaming]
Now give us some cover, octopus.
Aqualad, everybody, out of the pool!
'Follow me.'
zap
Once more, telepathic waves
reach the sea above
bringing a pair of whales.
(Aquaman) Head for the coast boulders.
Thud
thud
That does it, tadpole.
Those Reptile Men will never get past that barricade.
(Aqualad) That's for sure.
Okay, squirt, let's go home.
