Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 3, Episode 13 - The Night of the Wolf - full transcript
Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of the Earth,
can no longer stand
the terrible destruction
plaguing our planet.
She sends five magic rings
to five special young people --
Kwame from Africa,
with the power of Earth.
[ Sirens wailing ]
From North America -- Wheeler,
with the power of fire.
**
From Eastern Europe --
Linka, with the power of wind.
From Asia -- Gi,
with the power of water.
**
And from South America --
Ma-Ti, with the power of heart.
When the five powers combine,
they summon
Earth's greatest champion --
Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
Stayed tuned, Planeteers.
I'll be right back.
Gi: And now back to
"Captain Planet".

[ Creature growling, howling ]
[ Gasps ]
Aah!
[ Creature snarling ]
Ugh!
Aah!
[ Growls ]
Wheeler: Hey, come on,
Linka!
"Mondo Lobo's"
a cult classic.
Somehow, Wheeler, I do not think
that is what Gaia had in mind
when she told us to learn
about wolves.
You know, the werewolf myth
is part of the bad rap
wolves have gotten
throughout history.
Gaia: But other myths talk about
the good side of wolves,
such as their devotion
to their young,
which inspired stories of wolves
raising abandoned human infants,
like Romulus and Remus,
such as in "The Jungle Book."
So why do many people
hate wolves?
Because people fear them.
And that fear
is partially responsible
for wolves becoming
an endangered species.
Yet they help to keep
animal herds in balance
with their environment.
[ Wolves growling ]
Unlike human hunters
who kill strong animals,
wolves prey
on the sick and the weak.
Oh, I cannot look.
Nature isn't
always pretty, Linka,
but it
maintains a balance.
In winter,
the elks' food is scarce.
But because of
the wolves,
there will be more food
for the healthy elk,
and the herd
will get stronger.
I see what you mean,
Gaia.
So, what's the problem?
The problem is
in Yellowstone Park.
Wolves have been extinct there
for years.
A group called
Friends of Wolves
has been trying
to bring them back,
but unexplained attacks
are killing off livestock
on ranches surrounding
Yellowstone.
Would wolves
attack livestock?
Not usually.
They prefer wild prey, like elk,
and they normally kill
only what they can eat.
Then we must
help the wolves
and find out
what is responsible.
Look at that.
15 head of cattle...butchered.
I warned them wolf people
not to bring those killers
back to the park.
Now they're already
coming onto our land.
You really think
wolves did this, Dad?
Use your eyes, girl.
Look at those tracks.
But, Dad, the only wolves in
Yellowstone are still penned up.
I just saw them.
[ Wolf howling ]
Well, Laura, tell me that
ain't a wolf.
Dad!
Up there!
[ Growling ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Beeping ]
How'd he get away?
I know I hit him.
[ Beeping ]
Plunder: Hurry up,
you mangy bucket of bolts!
I don't want anyone
to see you come into my cabin.
[ Beeping ]
Somebody shot
Robo-Wolf.
Big deal.
Dr. Blight guarantees
bullets won't stop it.
Yeah, but there could be
circuit damage.
Maybe we should
lay off tonight.
No!
By tomorrow, I want to
have the whole county
in a panic over wolves.
Ha ha!
Then we get paid a fortune
to take care of a problem
that doesn't even exist.
Beautiful!
[ Gun cocks ]
Only, what if them nosy
eco-twits show up?
I'm counting on it.
Robo-Wolf has a little surprise
for them.
[ Laughs ]
[ Beeping ]
Kwame:
I talked to Renee Daniel from
the Friends of Wolves group.
She will show us around.
Renee:
I call the pack leader Lobo,
and his mate is Lupe.
We'll hold them in this pen
until they get acclimated
to the park.
I don't want to be around
when you let them out.
They look dangerous.
They're not, really.
In fact, there's a very
gentle side to wolves.
Kwame: [ Chuckles ]
They may be predators,
but they certainly
love their pups.
Lon: Yeah. I can't wait till
them cute little fellas grow up
so their lovin' mama can tech
them how to kill my livestock.
Mr. Talbot,
I heard about your cattle,
and I'm truly sorry.
But I can assure you,
whatever killed them,
it wasn't these wolves.
They haven't been
out of their pen.
So you say!
Once you turn them loose
in the parks,
sooner or later, they're gonna
wander onto my land,
and when they do,
I'll be waiting.
Bleak: Okay, Mr. Talbot.
You'll get your chance
real soon.
[ Laughs evilly ]
Renee,
I apologize for dad,
but with these late snows,
a lot of calves
have frozen to death.
This wolf kill
was the last straw for him.
I'm not so sure
it was a wolf, Laura.
What if we camp out at
Laura's ranch tonight
and see if it comes back,
whatever it was?
That's a great idea,
Ma-Ti.
You'd do that for us?
For you, I...
[ Chuckles ] Yes.
All right!
See you tonight.
And thank you,
Ma-Ti.
I better
come with you.
Come on, Ma-Ti.
Ma-Ti!
**
Dad, I thought
I'd take some chow
over to Ma-Ti
and his friends.
Just don't be too long.
[ Snowmobile approaches ]
[ Engine shuts off ]
Howdy, partner.
I'm your new neighbor --
Looten Plunder.
I hear tell you got
a wolf problem.
Is that a fact?
It so happens I may have
the answer to your problem.
Yeah?
My pal here, Bleak, can wipe out
every wolf in the county
outside and inside
Yellowstone park.
But it'll cost you.
Hold on, mister.
I ain't no friend
of the wolves,
but I'm law-abiding.
And what you're talking about
is illegal.
Mr. Talbot,
I've got to warn you,
once they get wolves
into the park,
those bleeding hearts will
call them an endangered species.
Yeah! Then the law
won't let you touch them.
These wolf people want
you to share your land
with those killers,
but mark my words,
you'll end up losing it to them.
Okay. I'll talk
to other ranchers,
see what
we can work out.
You do that.
Oh, no.
I got to warn Ma-Ti.
[ Engine starts ]
[ Horse neighs ]
Renee: So, in 1872,
they established Yellowstone
as our first
national park.
Even back then,
they knew how special it was.
In some ways they did.
But of all the animals
living in Yellowstone,
only one no longer
lives here.
It must be wolves, right?
How did that happened?
It didn't just happen.
The government paid hunters
to kill the wolves.
And they didn't care how.
They even used
steel traps.
Linka:
Oh, that is so cruel!
Yes. They used everything
they could to kill the wolves,
including poison.
Sometimes wolves
were set on fire
or literally
torn to pieces.
By 1930,
they were wiped out.
[ Sighs ]
And they call wolves savage.
Maybe we've learned how to
respect other forms of life
since then.
I hope so.
Hi!
I, uh,
brought some food.
All right, Laura!
Ma-Ti,
can we talk...alone?
Um...sure.
But where?
Come with me.
Ma-Ti?
With a girl?
[ Door creaks ]
[ Gasps ]
Gol-dang them wolves!
Laura!
Laura?
Laura!
Look at that!
They hit Lon's place, too.
Them wolves just made kills
on both of our spreads.
Come on! My daughter's out there
with them killers on the loose.
Ma-Ti, my dad's involved
in something wrong.
But I don't want him in trouble.
Will you help me?
I will try,
but what is he doing?
Well, these men names
Plunder and Bleak came by --
Plunder and Bleak here?
Laura, your father is not
the only one in trouble.
Those men are trouble
for all of us.
[ Wolf howling ]
Wheeler: Hey!
Gi: What was that?
[ Horse neighs ]
Wolves?
I don't think so.
I've heard wolf howls
all my life.
And that doesn't sound real.
My horse!
Whoa, girl!
I will try
to stop her.
Heart!
She's too frightened.
Come on!
We've got to catch her.
[ Beeping ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Whirring ]
[ All scream ]
That's not a real wolf!
It's some kind
of machine!
Gi:
It may be a machine,
but it's looking at us
like we're dinner.
[ All scream ]
Ma-Ti: Do not lose heart.
The Planeteers will return.
Linka: And now,
back to "Captain Planet".
[ Beeping ]
Aah!
Earth!
Linka: Oh,
thank goodness!
Oh, good!
Kwame, you did it!
[ Wolf growling ]
[ All scream ]
[ Wolf snarls ]
Let's give him
a hotfoot!
Fire!
Uh-oh!
Major power failure.
[ Beeping ]
Water!
Wind!
There must be pollution
around here.
Aah! Aah!
[ Horse neighs ]
[ Gi screaming ]
That was Gi!
We must hurry!
**
Oh, no!
Laura:
Where is everyone?
Wh-What happened?
Their clothes.
They've been
torn to shreds.
No! No! It cannot be!
Ah, but it can!
My plan can work.
I already have every rancher
for miles around
convinced that killer wolves
are on the loose.
Yeah, wolf lady.
Your little pets
are history,
and they're gonna
stay that way.
If I had my ring --
It wouldn't help.
And I'll even show you why.
Here, boy.
[ Beeping ]
See, these tubes deliver oil
to every part of Robo-Wolf.
Unfortunately for you,
Dr. Blight uses
the most toxic oil available.
So Robo-Wolf is coated
in pollution.
Your rings are useless.
Ma-Ti will find us,
and then --
And then we'll call
Captain Planet.
[ Chuckles ]
I hope so.
I can't wait to see him snatched
up in the jaws of adversity.
We will not call him.
And you do not know how
to use our rings.
Then I guess you'll
have to tell me,
or risk ending end up
on my trophy wall
with all the other
endangered species.
My friends
cannot be dead.
Heart!
Planeteers,
can you hear me?
They are alive
somewhere,
but my ring power
is being blocked.
Laura!
You're all right.
Dad, Ma-Ti's friends
are missing.
Bleak: Argos Bleak calling
Lon Talbot. Over.
This is Talbot.
Over.
I just found a hole in the
wolves' pen at Yellowstone.
That's how your wolves got out,
but there's still some here.
Over.
Don't let them get away.
Over.
Don't listen to them, Dad!
Bleak and Plunder
are liars!
Meet us here
at the wolf pen,
and we'll wipe out these killers
once and for all.
Over.
Be right there. Over.
[ Laughs ]
Those suckers fell for it.
You always told me that
it was wrong to break the law.
Man: Come on, Lon!
Tracks lead right back
to Yellowstone.
Now, you head on home, girl.
[ Engine starts ]
Wait for me there,
you hear?
I must warn the wolves.
Heart!
Lobo, your pack
is in danger.
Fine the hole
in the fence
and lead your pack out.
Do you think
he'll find the hole in time?
Maybe not by himself,
but a wolf pack
works together.
With all of them looking,
they have a chance.
[ Wolves sniffing ]
[ Wolf barks ]
[ Wolf barks ]
They're getting out
through that hole.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Wolf howls ]
There they go!
After them!
[ Howling ]
Kwame, look!
Something's wrong
with Plunder's machine.
[ Electricity crackling ]
I told you we should've
checked the circuits.
Ah, forget it.
It's served its purpose.
Don't you want
to fix it?
Nah.
Just junk the thing.
Hold on, now.
N-Nice doggie.
How do you shut
this thing off?
Here's the manual.
You figure it out.
Out of my way,
you coward!
Hey!
Give us our rings!
Can't this thing
go any faster?
Only if you jump off!
[ Wolves howling ]
[ Gunshots ]
We're closing in on them.
Go! Go! Go!
[ Whirring ]
Look out!
Ugh!
Ohh!
Ohh!
Plunder,
you all right?
You've got to save us.
It's coming.
[ Growls ]
Up there!
Shoot it!
[ Gunshot ]
[ Howls ]
[ Gunshot ]
Bullets ain't even
slowing it down.
What is that thing?
Uh-oh!
It's totaled,
Mr. Plunder.
That's too bad...
for Talbot.
[ Gunshots ]
Let's get out of here!
Look!
Hey!
So long, neighbor!
What the --
[ Whirring ]
"Robo-Wolf"?
That thing belongs to you,
you yellow polecat!
Now do you
believe us, dad?
I guess I owe you
an apology.
Maybe I was wrong
about that wolf lady, too.
We must find her
and my friends
before that thing
comes back.
But how?
With some of the best trackers
in the world.
Heart!
[ Wolves barking ]
Lobo, we must find Renee
and my friends.
[ Sniffing ]
[ Howls ]
Come on!
Lobo has the scent.
[ Wolves sniffing, yipping ]
Aah!
Ugh!
[ Whirring ]
Listen!
Maybe help is coming.
Here,
take your stupid rings!
Just get rid of Robo-Wolf.
He's right behind us.
[ Growls ]
[ Howls ]
Do something.
Hurry!
There's not much we can do
without Ma-Ti.
That's it!
Ma-Ti!
Come on!
Let's head for high ground.
Let those planet twerps
take care of Robo-Wolf.
[ Wolves barking ]
Ma-Ti!
Heart!
Ma-Ti, there is
no time to waste.
We must get help.
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Keep your beams
focused.
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
[ Whirring ]
Too bad, planet-saps.
Wheeler: Let's go!
See you in another life.
[ All gasp ]
[ Grunts ]
Little warm in here,
isn't it?
Aah!
Oh, no!
Aah! No! No!
Aah!
This is the bizarre thing
about being a superhero.
You've even got to
save the bad guys.
[ Robo-Wolf howls ]
Linka:
Watch out!
Aah!
Toxic oil!
I'm getting weaker.
[ Wolves growling ]
Cap is in trouble.
[ Growling ]
We tried
to warn you, Cap.
Plunder:
Help! Help! Help!
[ Groans ]
Got to save them.
We're going to burn.
Aah!
We're gonna get eaten!
Uh, no.
Unfortunately,
you're going to get saved.
Ma-Ti: Good work, Cap!
Well, I think that's
the last we'll see
of that mechanical
monstrosity.
Aah! Look!
[ Whirring ]
[ Electrical crackling ]
The toxic oil
is burned away.
Now I can give this machine in
wolf's clothing
some obedience lessons.
Play dead!
[ Whirring, crackling
continues ]
[ Powers down ]
Good boy!
Hey, you wrecked
my robot.
Oh, well. It's still
under warranty.
Don't worry,
Plunder.
I guarantee this cage will
keep you out of trouble
for years to come.
[ Planeteers cheer ]
Go on, Lobo.
This is your home now.
I'm still not wild
about this idea.
[ Chuckles ]
Dad, you don't have to be.
They're wild.
That's the whole idea.
And the government will pay you
for any losses they cause,
but I don't think you have
anything to worry about.
Yeah, well, I guess these wolves
can't be any worse
than a no-good varmint
like Plunder!
[ Laughter ]
**
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Wheeler:
From spiders to lions,
predators help maintain
the balance of nature.
Linka:
For example, birds eat insects
that damage plants.
Kwame: And coyotes catch mice
and other rodents
which can spread disease.
Ma-Ti: But sadly,
wolves have been wiped out
in many parts of the world.
Wheeler: But you can help
bring back the pack.
Start a letter-writing campaign
to your government
representatives...
By combining our powers,
we can help the wolves return
to their natural habitats.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Today,
many people are careless
with things that belong
to us all.
Like our oceans,
where greedy fishermen
needlessly kill
thousands of animals,
including turtles,
birds, and dolphins,
along with their catch.
And they are threatening
the jobs of those fishermen
who use our oceans properly.
Ma-Ti:
The ocean needs our help!
If we don't protect it today,
it won't be here tomorrow.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* He's our powers magnified
* And he's fighting
on the planet's side *
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* Gonna help him put asunder
* Bad guys who like
to loot and plunder *
You'll pay for this,
Captain Planet!
* We're the Planeteers,
you can be one, too *
* 'Cause saving our planet
is the thing to do *
* Looting and polluting
is not the way *
* Hear what Captain Planet
has to say *
The power is yours!

My horse!
Whoa, girl!
I will try
to stop her.
Heart!
She's too frightened.
Come on!
We've got to catch her.
[ Beeping ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Whirring ]
[ All scream ]
That's not a real wolf!
It's some kind
of machine!
Gi:
It may be a machine,
but it's looking at us
like we're dinner.
[ All scream ]
Ma-Ti: Do not lose heart.
The Planeteers will return.
Linka: And now,
back to "Captain Planet".
[ Beeping ]
Aah!
Earth!
Linka: Oh,
thank goodness!
Oh, good!
Kwame, you did it!
[ Wolf growling ]
[ All scream ]
[ Wolf snarls ]
Let's give him
a hotfoot!
Fire!
Uh-oh!
Major power failure.
[ Beeping ]
Water!
Wind!
There must be pollution
around here.
Aah! Aah!
[ Horse neighs ]
[ Gi screaming ]
That was Gi!
We must hurry!
**
Oh, no!
Laura:
Where is everyone?
Wh-What happened?
Their clothes.
They've been
torn to shreds.
No! No! It cannot be!
Ah, but it can!
My plan can work.
I already have every rancher
for miles around
convinced that killer wolves
are on the loose.
Yeah, wolf lady.
Your little pets
are history,
and they're gonna
stay that way.
If I had my ring --
It wouldn't help.
And I'll even show you why.
Here, boy.
[ Beeping ]
See, these tubes deliver oil
to every part of Robo-Wolf.
Unfortunately for you,
Dr. Blight uses
the most toxic oil available.
So Robo-Wolf is coated
in pollution.
Your rings are useless.
Ma-Ti will find us,
and then --
And then we'll call
Captain Planet.
[ Chuckles ]
I hope so.
I can't wait to see him snatched
up in the jaws of adversity.
We will not call him.
And you do not know how
to use our rings.
Then I guess you'll
have to tell me,
or risk ending end up
on my trophy wall
with all the other
endangered species.
My friends
cannot be dead.
Heart!
Planeteers,
can you hear me?
They are alive
somewhere,
but my ring power
is being blocked.
Laura!
You're all right.
Dad, Ma-Ti's friends
are missing.
Bleak: Argos Bleak calling
Lon Talbot. Over.
This is Talbot.
Over.
I just found a hole in the
wolves' pen at Yellowstone.
That's how your wolves got out,
but there's still some here.
Over.
Don't let them get away.
Over.
Don't listen to them, Dad!
Bleak and Plunder
are liars!
Meet us here
at the wolf pen,
and we'll wipe out these killers
once and for all.
Over.
Be right there. Over.
[ Laughs ]
Those suckers fell for it.
You always told me that
it was wrong to break the law.
Man: Come on, Lon!
Tracks lead right back
to Yellowstone.
Now, you head on home, girl.
[ Engine starts ]
Wait for me there,
you hear?
I must warn the wolves.
Heart!
Lobo, your pack
is in danger.
Fine the hole
in the fence
and lead your pack out.
Do you think
he'll find the hole in time?
Maybe not by himself,
but a wolf pack
works together.
With all of them looking,
they have a chance.
[ Wolves sniffing ]
[ Wolf barks ]
[ Wolf barks ]
They're getting out
through that hole.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Wolf howls ]
There they go!
After them!
[ Howling ]
Kwame, look!
Something's wrong
with Plunder's machine.
[ Electricity crackling ]
I told you we should've
checked the circuits.
Ah, forget it.
It's served its purpose.
Don't you want
to fix it?
Nah.
Just junk the thing.
Hold on, now.
N-Nice doggie.
How do you shut
this thing off?
Here's the manual.
You figure it out.
Out of my way,
you coward!
Hey!
Give us our rings!
Can't this thing
go any faster?
Only if you jump off!
[ Wolves howling ]
[ Gunshots ]
We're closing in on them.
Go! Go! Go!
[ Whirring ]
Look out!
Ugh!
Ohh!
Ohh!
Plunder,
you all right?
You've got to save us.
It's coming.
[ Growls ]
Up there!
Shoot it!
[ Gunshot ]
[ Howls ]
[ Gunshot ]
Bullets ain't even
slowing it down.
What is that thing?
Uh-oh!
It's totaled,
Mr. Plunder.
That's too bad...
for Talbot.
[ Gunshots ]
Let's get out of here!
Look!
Hey!
So long, neighbor!
What the --
[ Whirring ]
"Robo-Wolf"?
That thing belongs to you,
you yellow polecat!
Now do you
believe us, dad?
I guess I owe you
an apology.
Maybe I was wrong
about that wolf lady, too.
We must find her
and my friends
before that thing
comes back.
But how?
With some of the best trackers
in the world.
Heart!
[ Wolves barking ]
Lobo, we must find Renee
and my friends.
[ Sniffing ]
[ Howls ]
Come on!
Lobo has the scent.
[ Wolves sniffing, yipping ]
Aah!
Ugh!
[ Whirring ]
Listen!
Maybe help is coming.
Here,
take your stupid rings!
Just get rid of Robo-Wolf.
He's right behind us.
[ Growls ]
[ Howls ]
Do something.
Hurry!
There's not much we can do
without Ma-Ti.
That's it!
Ma-Ti!
Come on!
Let's head for high ground.
Let those planet twerps
take care of Robo-Wolf.
[ Wolves barking ]
Ma-Ti!
Heart!
Ma-Ti, there is
no time to waste.
We must get help.
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Keep your beams
focused.
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
[ Whirring ]
Too bad, planet-saps.
Wheeler: Let's go!
See you in another life.
[ All gasp ]
[ Grunts ]
Little warm in here,
isn't it?
Aah!
Oh, no!
Aah! No! No!
Aah!
This is the bizarre thing
about being a superhero.
You've even got to
save the bad guys.
[ Robo-Wolf howls ]
Linka:
Watch out!
Aah!
Toxic oil!
I'm getting weaker.
[ Wolves growling ]
Cap is in trouble.
[ Growling ]
We tried
to warn you, Cap.
Plunder:
Help! Help! Help!
[ Groans ]
Got to save them.
We're going to burn.
Aah!
We're gonna get eaten!
Uh, no.
Unfortunately,
you're going to get saved.
Ma-Ti: Good work, Cap!
Well, I think that's
the last we'll see
of that mechanical
monstrosity.
Aah! Look!
[ Whirring ]
[ Electrical crackling ]
The toxic oil
is burned away.
Now I can give this machine in
wolf's clothing
some obedience lessons.
Play dead!
[ Whirring, crackling
continues ]
[ Powers down ]
Good boy!
Hey, you wrecked
my robot.
Oh, well. It's still
under warranty.
Don't worry,
Plunder.
I guarantee this cage will
keep you out of trouble
for years to come.
[ Planeteers cheer ]
Go on, Lobo.
This is your home now.
I'm still not wild
about this idea.
[ Chuckles ]
Dad, you don't have to be.
They're wild.
That's the whole idea.
And the government will pay you
for any losses they cause,
but I don't think you have
anything to worry about.
Yeah, well, I guess these wolves
can't be any worse
than a no-good varmint
like Plunder!
[ Laughter ]

Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Wheeler:
From spiders to lions,
predators help maintain
the balance of nature.
Linka:
For example, birds eat insects
that damage plants.
Kwame: And coyotes catch mice
and other rodents
which can spread disease.
Ma-Ti: But sadly,
wolves have been wiped out
in many parts of the world.
Wheeler: But you can help
bring back the pack.
Start a letter-writing campaign
to your government
representatives...
By combining our powers,
we can help the wolves return
to their natural habitats.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Today,
many people are careless
with things that belong
to us all.
Like our oceans,
where greedy fishermen
needlessly kill
thousands of animals,
including turtles,
birds, and dolphins,
along with their catch.
And they are threatening
the jobs of those fishermen
who use our oceans properly.
Ma-Ti:
The ocean needs our help!
If we don't protect it today,
it won't be here tomorrow.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* He's our powers magnified
* And he's fighting
on the planet's side *
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* Gonna help him put asunder
* Bad guys who like
to loot and plunder *
You'll pay for this,
Captain Planet!
* We're the Planeteers,
you can be one, too *
* 'Cause saving our planet
is the thing to do *
* Looting and polluting
is not the way *
* Hear what Captain Planet
has to say *
The power is yours!
