(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!
[theme music]
[intense music]
(Aqualad) Jumpin' jellyfish, Aquaman!
That dead volcano in Foucalt's Canyon
it's come alive.
Yes, Aqualad, and it's going to blow any minute.
'Let's ride.'
[intense music]
[rumbling]
We're near the edge of the canyon.
Boom
Hit the deck, Tadpole!
[intense music]
Aquaman! Look!
Tusky!
Stay here, Aqualad.
Relax, boy. I'll get you free.
(male narrator) Angered, the fiery monster
enlarges the opening in the volcano
creating a powerful swirling
column of gas propelled water
which sweeps off everything in its path.
Then, turning, he resumes hurling fiery lava
at Aquaman and Tusky.
Move, Tusky. Fast!
[intense music]
boom
(male narrator) Swooping down, Aqualad grabs his terrified walrus pet
and zooms up.
Then, caught in the turbulent waters
he's drawn swiftly toward the scalding geyser.
Aquaman! Help!
Oh, no! They'll be scalded.
We'll... never... make it.
Keep kicking, Tadpole. Hard!
(male narrator) Now, the King of the Seas
sends a telepathic command
to Storm, his loyal seahorse.
[neighing]
boom
(Aquaman) Go, boys. Go!
Wow! That was close.
And we're not through yet.
We've got to shut this thing off before it creates a tidal wave.
(male narrator) Once more, the sea monarch sends a telepathic command.
This time to a school of dolphins
whose response is immediate.
Splash splash
Everybody, follow me!
We're going to create a whirlpool.
[dolphins squealing]
(Aquaman) Everybody, scatter, now!
Well, that's that.
- Now... - Uh-oh.
Where's Tusky?
I don't know. We better find them.
(male narrator) At this moment, Tusky is encouraging
the recovery of a dolphin
who has accidentally hurt himself.
Suddenly the glowing volcanic monster blocks the exit
to the refuge.
[barking]
[intense music]
That's Tusky!
Over there.
[whimpers]
boom
What's it trying to tell us?
Where Tusky is.
Let's go.
This is as far as you go, Tadpole.
But..
[whimpering]
splash
[growling]
Come on, Tusky. Out!
[intense music]
splash
Need help to put it out.
First, I must slow it down.
Splash
[intense music]
crash
[crackling]
(Aquaman) 'Work troops.'
Okay, everybody out of the pool.
Mind if I join you?
Be my guest.
Now to put that fiery thing out.
Thud
thud
crack
rumble
[whimpering]
- Look! - Oh, no! Not again.
Some day, Tusky, you're gonna get into trouble
once too many times.
(Aquaman) 'Go easy on him, Tadpole.'
He's had a rough day.
Let's go home.
[theme music]
(male narrator) In just a moment we'll return with another exciting adventure
featuring a guest star
from the galaxy of super superheroes.
Through the magic alchemy of nature's
most awesome sources of energy
Ray Palmer atomic physicist becomes... The Atom.
A power-packed mighty-mite.
Whose brilliant mind and great strength serve law and order
against crime and injustice.
Tiny titan, scourge of evil-doers!
The Atom!
[dramatic music]
[intense music]
(male narrator) Hurtling through Earth's
orbital barrier
a seemingly harmless meteorite.
But in its core, five tiny beings communicate
with a distant world.
I've entered Earth's atmosphere.
(beetle-man #1) 'Excellent.'
'Remain in concealment'
'until target is reached.'
(male narrator) Reduced by air friction
to the size of an average stone
it hurtles towards a vast nuclear lab complex
and plunges into the soil.
Shortly after, a sample of that soil
is inspected by a group of atomic scientists.
[beeping]
What do you make of the intense radioactivity, Prof. Palmer?
Well, it's hard to tell without knowing
'where that meteorite came from.'
[intense music]
[dramatic music]
Soon as we break out, move swiftly.
We must catch the Earthlings off-guard.
(male #1) Look at those strange little beetles, they..
Great neutron!
Look out!
Zap
zap zap
You two, lock them away.
The rest follow me.
(male narrator) Now imprisoned in a giant vault
Professor Ray Palmer is the first to recover
from the stun blasts.
And seconds later he is transformed
into the world's most powerful miniature man.
The Atom.
Now I can get out of here.
Swoosh
Through that lock.
Great molecules!
'They're programming the computers'
'for a chain reaction'
to blow up that atomic pile.
I've gotta stop it.
Look.
A tiny Earthling comes to challenge us.
Stamp him out like an insect.
[instrumental music]
Got a message for you too, buddy boy.
Ahh!
Zap zap
Hah! Just the thing.
Used to be pretty good at tossing javelins.
Here you go!
[both screaming]
Keep him at bay.
Just a few more seconds and our mission is accomplished.
[screams]
I have him trapped.
- Peekaboo! - Ow!
Now, the control panel.
There. It is done.
Too late, the chain reaction's begun.
Only seconds to go.
Got to intercept it.
Stop him! Stop him!
'Even if it means your lives.'
Maybe I can cut out these transistors.
Get out! Get out! Or we both die.
I'm too young... to die.
[beetle-man groaning]
[beetle-man screaming]
Reaction's past transistor pace.
Must smash those photoelectric cells.
Which way now, little bug?
This way, pal!
[screams]
Reaction's in final phase.
Each reaching blast level.
[intense music]
This is my last chance to short it out.
[electricity crackling]
boom
The tiny Earthling has foiled our mission.
Let's get out of here.
[dramatic music]
Don't go away, fellas.
Uh-oh!
Ow!
Hey!
Stand aside or we shall burn you to a cinder.
[intense music]
boom
Run! Run!
Going somewhere, boys?
This jar will hold 'em till the authorities get here.
They came to destroy all of Earth's atomic piles
making us an easy mark for invasion.
Hmm. I don't think their leaders will ever try that stunt again.
No. Not as long as they have The Atom to reckon with.
[upbeat music]
(male narrator) Coming up next..
More action packed adventures with Aquaman.
King of the Seven Seas.
Featuring Aqualad and Tusky the walrus.
[neighing]
[dramatic music]
[barking]
(male narrator) As Tusky, the walrus, swims playfully along the sea floor
he suddenly spies a strange phenomena.
A pool of poisonous pink liquid.
Cautiously avoided by all sea creatures.
[intense music]
[growling]
(male narrator) The amazed Walrus is spellbound by the sight
of the crimson giant, rising out of the pink pool.
[growling]
[barking]
[growling]
thud
[intense music]
[barking]
[beeping]
(Aqualad) Look, Aquaman.
Something's causing those reefs to disappear.
Whatever it is, it's heading for Atlantis.
Let's go.
[dramatic music]
[Tusky barking]
Maybe he's seen what we spotted on the scope.
He has.
Lead us to it, Tusky boy.
[dramatic music]
Holy halibut! What in sea blazes is that?
I don't know, Tadpole.
But whatever it is, it's heading straight for Atlantis.
[growling]
(Aqualad) 'Soarin' sailfish!'
'That monster's got the strength of ten whales.'
(Aquaman) 'At least.'
That's a dissolving acid. A powerful chemical.
Yeah, it could burn a hole in the dome
that would destroy Atlantis.
Right.
We've got to stop it somehow
before it gets there.
[intense music]
Aquaman, look.
He tripped. He's down.
Stay put. All of you.
Tusky, no! Come back.
[growling]
Charge, Imp!
[intense music]
It's gonna send that clam into pink oblivion.
Not if I can help it.
Thud thud thud
Gotcha!
Hold him, Aquaman! We'll take care of him.
Bang
Come on, octopi, I need you now.
[sonic beeping]
[dramatic music]
Well, I'll be..
The octopus ink has turned it blue.
Slam
Aquaman!
Aqualad, watch out!
[intense music]
Oh! How come we're not dissolved?
The octopus ink has neutralized the pink acid.
Yippee! He's lost his sting.
Now let me at 'em.
Help! Aquaman!
He's lost his sting, but not his strength.
I'd better get more help.
[sonic beeping]
[dramatic music]
crash
thump
[grunting]
[growling]
thud
- Here, grab hold, Tadpole. - What do I do with it?
Get over to that whale over there and lasso that monster
'when I say go.'
[growling]
This ought to stop you long enough.
Now, Tadpole! Go!
[growling]
Now let's take big boy for a ride.
Go, fellas! Go!
[growling]
[dramatic music]
That's it.
Bombs away!
[intense music]
Now the pool is neutralized too.
And this area is safe for fish again.
Check.
Look. What's that?
A very rare sea creature.
A pink eel.
[whimpering]
[Tusky whimpering]
(Aqualad) Tusky! Tusky! Come back!
[Aquaman laughing]
