(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]

Investigating strange
rising tides

in a strong new ocean current

Aquaman, Aqualad
and their pet walrus Tusky



come upon
a startling phenomenon.

Great waves, Aqualad.

Those icebergs are
too far south

and are melting fast.

'Water level's
rising fast too.'

'By nightfall,
that island will be gone.'

Does, does this mean
the polar cap is melting?

(Aquaman)
'If that's so, Aqualad'

all the continents
will soon be underwater.

To the north pole, team.
Let's ride.

[theme music]

(male narrator)
In the frozen Arctic Sea,
a weird spaceship

resembling the planet Saturn
hovers over an ice peak.

Aboard the craft,
the Satanic Saturnians



are busily engaged
in their sinister mission.

Our mission goes well,
commander.

Good. Once we flood this planet,
there'll be no Earth men

left to resist our invasion.

'Lower the heat ring again.'

beep beep beep

[dramatic music]

Suffering starfish!

That's what's melting
the icebergs.

Gotta stop 'em.

- Down, Storm.
- Go, Imp.

Wow, this water is hot.

What could we do
to knock out that ring?

These killer sharks have teeth
sharp enough to cut cables.

Stay here, Tusky.

chomp

Let's have a look
at that heat ring.

(Aqualad)
'Watch out for those cables,
Tusky.'

By the moons of Jupiter.

Those aquatic Earth humanoids
must be destroyed.

Retract the cables.

(male narrator)
Curious, Tusky bites
the offending cable.

Now, the hapless walrus
cannot release his hold.

Look, Tusky's on the cable.

Let go, Tusky.
Let go.

Tusky! Tusky!

(Aquaman)
'He can't let go.'

They're gonna sit down
on the water.

Come on.

[whimpers]

The Earth creatures approach.
Man the mini subs.

Attack them.

Now, Earth creatures.

We shall annihilate you.

[laughing]

(male narrator)
Trapped, Tusky grows panicky

at the thought of being
discovered by the Saturnians.

Looking for a place to hide

he spots the line
of open mini subs

and dives into the nearest one.

thud

Ready, launch!

pew pew

Leaping lampreys!
What are those?

Tin fish.

Take cover while I test
their bite.

Come on, Storm,
behind the iceberg.

[intense music]

(Aquaman)
'That gun, wonder what it does.'

There's my answer.

A sleeve of hard light.

Stronger than steel.

Good work, number one Sub.
He's trapped.

Now, crush him.
Tighten the rings.

Tightening up on me,
better send for help.

[beeping]

Telepathic signal
can't penetrate hard light.

Oh, no.
Aquaman's in big trouble.

Let's go.

(commander)
'Ships three and four.
Get the boy, get him!'

'Fool! He escaped.'

'Who's piloting number six?
Get him again, quickly.'

If it's playmates you want,
I'll send for some.

[intense music]

It's got me.

Aquaman, help!

Yikes, here comes another one.

bang

You imbecile
in sub number six

'you shall pay dearly
for your stupidity.'

kaboom

Storm and Imp, gotta
move 'em outta there fast.

Look, Aquaman.

Those tin fish are heading
for the horses again.

Let's go, squids.
Open your jets, full.

kaboom

That should give 'em
a gigantic headache.

Only one left, tadpole.
Let's go after it.

That idiot in number six
is the only one left.

'Watch out!
They're coming for you.'

'Hit them with your hard light,
quickly.'

'Attack them.'

I'm going to open
these sardine can

and see what one of these
characters looks like.

(Aqualad)
'Jiggling jellyfish!
They look just like Tusky.'

No time for fooling now.

We've gotta take care
of that spacecraft. Come on.

'Alright, now, go troops!'

Fools! Hit stabilizing rockets.

Do something quickly!

Whales!
A herd of whales is attacking.

dong

Moving anyone?

(Aquaman)
'Keep moving, gang.'

Blast off quickly.

Back to Saturn before
these Earth creatures

put rings in our noses.

Good riddance. Let's go home.

(Aqualad)
'Come on, Tusky.'

[dramatic music]

(male narrator)
In just a moment,
we will return

with another exciting adventure

featuring a guest star

from the galaxy
of super superheroes.

[dramatic music]

(male narrator)
Here come the Teen Titans

a quartet of powering talent.

Kid Flash, whose speed defies
the eyes to follow.

Wonder Girl, swift
and powerful super lass.

Speedy, whose fantastic arrows
perform awesome feats.

Aqualad, bold and daring
marine marvel.

Fabulous foursome
for right against might.

The Teen Titans.

An alien spaceship,
yawing and pitching

as it obviously fights
to remain aloft

breaks into
Earth's atmosphere.

Get rid off all our detector
equipment and cargo.

Creatures, captain.
They may kill, destroy.

We must lose weight
to gain altitude.

(male narrator)
Now, as the spacecraft
rises up to the clouds

a cage loaded
with weird wild beasts

crashes to Earth.

thud

Releasing a dangerous
and deadly menace

to the countryside.

[theme music]

Within minutes,
the Teen Titans are in action.

Where are the others, Speedy?

Heading for the big
round up, Aqualad.

(Speedy)
'Wonder Girl's streaking
through the wild blue'

'and Kid Flash's
zipping over hill and dale.'

Okay, hold on, Speedy-o

we've gotta get
to where the action is.

Check.

(male narrator)
Meanwhile,
the terrified inhabitants

of the small country Hamlet
have barricaded themselves

against the menace
of a fearsome creature

from another planet.

[dramatic music]

[roaring]

Roaring rockets!
That must be one of them.

[grunting]

Merciful maneuver.

Kid Flash alone
with that monster?

There they are.

Put down fast,
they need help.

[growling]

Cool it, Wonder doll.
Here come the marines.

Charge!

Here goes a stun arrow.

bang

Spice him up this time
and I'll hit him a mid ship.

Aye-aye, sir.

Go, Gillhead.

bam

Up to you, Flasheroo.

thud

That beast sure has
a hard belly.

And I hid the match.

Great Gaia! Look!

Soaring sailfish!

What is that?

(Kid Flash)
'Must be part two
of our war'

'against the beasts
from outer space.'

It's coming in
like a dive bomber.

I'll smear him
with a boomerang arrow.

Too bad, here it comes again.

Scatter, Titans.
I'll divert it.

(Wonder Girl)
'Be careful, Kid Flash.'

Watch me flip..

Hey, look!

- Kid Flash!
- Look out!

Ouch! Let go,
you overgrown fat.

No, you may hit the kid.

Let's go after them
in the copter.

The Kid broke lose,
he's falling.

Gotcha.

Hooray, for the girl marine.

Better luck this time,
arrowhead.

Just hold her steady
and leave the action to me.

Nice shot, Speedy-o.

Bring him down, team.

There you go, all propped up
like Christmas turkeys.

Swell.

But our work's not done yet.

No, siree, sir. There's
one more beast on the loose.

An amphibian, right?

Leaping lampreys!

Look.

That must be ship that brought
these unearthly creatures.

There is one
of the creatures, captain.

We must retrieve
its blood at once.

Get going, you two.

See you at the spaceship.

(male narrator)
At this moment on a ledge
overlooking a large lake

the crew of the spaceship
is vainly fighting

to recapture one
of its specimens.

A huge and ferocious
crocodile like creature.

Only one way,
we must destroy the beast.

Wait. Look.

swish

swoosh

Stranger people
coming to attack us.

Blast them!

Stop! We've come to help.

'Oh, boy.'

Look.
They've challenged the beast.

[whooshing]

Back you go.

Mustn't hurt anyone.

He's in your home now,
Baby Jones.

You know it, Robin Hood.

Hey, you guys.

Hand me a net.

There's a net in the copter,
twinkle toes.

Grab it. Fast!

boing

'Hop above the ropeway.'

Go, Flasheroo! Go!

Catch, kiddies.

Let's go, boy.

Forgive us, young earthlings,
for the trouble we caused.

We are interplanetary hunters.

Had we known we could
repair our ship..

Forget it.
We're just glad no one got hurt.

Come on, Gillhead.

Let's show 'em where
the other two creatures are.

So long, Titans.

See you at the next meeting.

(male narrator)
Coming up next..

...more action-packed
adventures

with Aquaman,
King of the Seven Seas.

Featuring Aqualad
and Tusky, the walrus.

A sleek silvery submarine
glides silently to a stop

within site of the
domed city of Atlantis.

Atlantis! Jewel of the sea.

At last, your riches
shall be mine.

For now, I, the Brain

have the means with which
to deal with Aquaman.

'Now, lower
the Sonic Brainwave Tomb.'

beep beep

[theme music]

(male narrator)
Alerted to
the strange submarine

by his underwater
detection system

Aquaman,
King of the Seven Seas

streaks to investigate
with his young friend Aqualad

and Tusky, the walrus.

pew pew

Leaping lampreys, Aquaman.
Look!

(Aquaman)
'Missile attack.'

'Intercept.'

boom

boom

pew pew

(male narrator)
Aquaman's telepathic commands

swiftly brings his
fish allies on the scene.

boom

Activate the Sonic Brainwave's
maximum frequency.

beep beep beep

- Aquaman, what is that?
- I don't know.

'But our fish army
is deserting.'

'I'll call them back.'

Ha-ha!

My sonic brain wash
is working perfectly.

beep beep beep

Whoa, Storm!

Whoa, boy!

(Aqualad)
'Not in there, Imp.'

'You too, Tusky.'

All the sea creatures
will no longer

respond to Aquaman's commands.

Now, he's helpless.

This is serious, minnow!

I've lost my control
over the fish.

(Aqualad)
'They're being brainwashed
by that sound'

'and those lights.'

Go out and destroy him.

Move, Aqualad. Fast!

pew pew pew

bam bam bam

Wow! Three strikes.

Almost too easy.

(Aqualad)
'Aquaman!'

Storm, get Aquaman.

I'll take care of that ambusher.

Take Aqualad!
Bring him to me.

Good boy, Storm.

Tusky, what's happened
to Aqualad?

They've taken him off, huh?

Let's go get him.

(Brain)
'A little more of this
Brainwave treatment'

'and Aqualad will be ready
to destroy Aquaman for me.'

Hope those infernal sonic waves
haven't brain washed

all my friends.

Let's go, troops.

Aquaman, and an army of sea
creatures approaching, master.

Shall I activate the
Sonic Brainwave Tube?

No. Watch how Aqualad

does his friend in for me.

'Release him.'

Look.

Aqualad.

'He's escaped.'

Aqualad, what's the matter
with you?

I gave him superhuman
strength, you see.

He's more than a match
for Aquaman now.

Great waves!
He's been brainwashed.

Got to stop him.

Come on, tadpole.
Snap out of it.

But I'll fix you for good.

Aqualad, stop!

For a minnow, you packed
the wallop of a mule.

Aquaman, what..
What am I doing here?

Never mind that now.
Let's go get 'em.

Follow me, troops.

That brat recovered.

Set sites and elevations.

Standby to fire
on the city. Quick!

Turn on the Brainwave.
Fire everything we've got.

pew pew

The fish can take care
of the missiles.

We've got to stop
that Brainwave.

[dramatic music]

boom

Who commanded
that submarine, Aqualad?

He called himself,
"The Brain."

Hmm, it just goes to prove
you can have a brain

and still not be very smart.

Let's go home.
