Miniaturization.
Authority: Top Secret
High-clearance.
Team: Jonathan Kidd,
commander.
Guru, master of mysterious
powers.
Erica Lane, Doctor,

Mission: In its miniaturized
form to combat...
the unseen and unsuspected, the
enemies of freedom.
Time limit: 12 hours.
Well, that's it Dr. Glikes,
the whole process.
A remarkable achievement,
Professor Carter.
Well, tell me, where
is the team now?
Oh Busby is out testing
the new attack weapon.
The others won't come
until later.
There is no one here now.
Just doing some simple
experiments this week.
Studying water pressure. Fungi
on salt conversion.
From right here, of course.
I'm afraid you didn't pick a good
time for a surprise visit.
On the contrary, I'd say
it's the excellent time.
Well, I would like...
Dr. Glikes!
The name is Seneca,
Professor.
You... will never get away...
Quite right, professor. But
who said I want to get away?
At least not until
I finish my job.
Sleep tight, dear friend.
For when you wake up...
your troubles will practically
have disappear.
Don't worry, professor.
No one will miss you.
In fact, they won't even
know you're gone.
- Come in, this is Busby.
- This is Kidd, come in.
That's what I wanted.
Right. Switch off the power.
I will be you in.
This is funny. I've never
saw that color.
What is it?
Hey, I'm falling!
It is too bad.
Look, the display.
- The flowing down.
- I can not.
It's gonna crazy.
Help!
I can't. Its Jammed.
We have got a chance.
I got get the controls.
Oh, that was close.
Oh no!
Busby, come in.
Where are you?
Well, you might say I
was up of a tree.
Today's quest is
pretty simple.
That plane suppose
to be simple too.
- Accidents happen too.
- Unfortunately.
In any case, today you stayed
here in the lab.
You will be sent into
that water cylinder to test,..
undersea diving
equipment.
The depth will be
14,000 feet.
After miniaturization,
of course.
Great, maybe I'll try
holding my breath.
Why don't you try being
quiet for a change?
This is the equipment.
Mr. Kidd will test first.
What if it doesn't
work as it should?
I'm afraid it's a long
way up for Mr. Kidd.
What do you mean, professor?
Nothing, of course,
just a joke.
There's one more thing.
Watch the screen, please.
This is Gottfried Seneca.
Yes, the most dangerous and
ingenious spy the enemy has.
Intelligence reports say
we're their next target.
So be alert.
I'd like to see him try
to infiltrate us.
Fat chance.
Don't underestimate him,
he's very clever.
Just him try,
ridiculous!
- Right Swami?
- Perhaps.
What may be ridiculous to one
may be fact to another.
- All set, professor.
- Good, prepare the miniaturize.
Activate process.
What? Where
am I?
The Voyager!
I've been miniaturized and the imposter
is on the loose in the lab.
I've got to warn them.
Wait!
Wait!
- Lightning beam turned on.
- Stop, stop!
- There's something out there.
- Lightning beam approaching.
I must be seeing things.
Stop! Stop! He's a fake,
he's trying to destroy you.
Ready to submerge, professor.
We'll take over from here.
Alright, good luck.
Hold your noses.
This is the first
mark. 5,000 feet.
7,500!
- 10,000!
- 12,500 feet.
14,000 feet. Take it easy, Jonathan.
It's a long way up.
Yep, that Professor Carter joke,
something is wrong.
- What?
- I don't know.
I have a sense of danger.
Be very careful, Mr. Kidd.
I will. OK, let's go.
That should give you enough time.
Too much in fact for Mr. Kidd.
What do you mean by "sensing
danger", Guru?
It probably means he
has a toothache.
There is evil here, I
feel it. Around us.
We must watch
Mr. Kidd, carefully.
Well, so far so good.
Look over there, what are
those shiny things?
I don't know, but they're
all around Kidd.
Mr. Kidd is in danger.
We must get it.
- Buddy.
- Right.
The motor is clogged.
These things are all over.
Much better. Where
is it...
Oh, oh. They got
Jonathan.
Can't see...
Where is the Voyager?
The cable is strangled.
I can't read.
Emergency! Emergency!
Come in! Come in!
Sorry, Miss. Lane.
I can't hear you.
What is this, Carter?
I don't know, sir, I
can't understand.
And neither will Mr. Kidd.
It's no use. What
we do, Guru?
The motor is clear.
We're moving.
Thank goodness.
There he is.
Hurry up. He almost
disappeared.
- Open the hatch.
- It won't move.
- These things were going to go in here.
- And I fear even more.
And the water pressure is too great
to open the other doors.
This means...
Wait, there's a chance.
The rockets.
You mean blast
the way out?
Precisely.
Okay, cross you fingers.
Look out!
That's what I call
a "hanging ten".
There he is. Get
us down, Busby.
If he's still alive.
Attention, emergency.
Stand-by for extension.
How is Mr. Kidd?
He'll pull through, sir,
it's not too bad.
Thank goodness. I cannot
understand, sir.
How could those things manage
to get in there.
Very simply, it
was sabotage.
- Sabotage.
- Yes, I'm convinced of that.
Someone in the organization
is a traitor.
Have you noticed anything
unusual recently?
Anything at all?
No, except the Guru
of course.
- What about the Guru?
- Nothing much, but...
He has been acting strangely.
Nervous and agitated, always
looking around.
As if he was hiding
something.
Guru, I wonder.
It seems impossible,
but, of course,
he is the only foreigner
in the organization.
Let's go ahead with our
next experiment.
But make sure you keep a
close watch on the Guru.
I will sir. It will have
your information.
And be careful.
Prepare to miniaturize.
- What will this Erica?
- Will get into fungus culture.
It's a simple medical
experiment.
No, we must not
go there.
- The culture has been tampered with.
- Prepare the beam of rays.
We must leave at once,
before the bean.
- Why?
- Do as I say.
Okay!
Follow along the container.
Yes, sir!
- We're heading in.
- Good luck.
You will need it.
Guru, why don't we go inside?
Death waits there.
I feel.
Swell, that look
great in our report.
Oh Mambo jambo
has a funny feeling...
so we don't carry on
our mission.
Perhaps you'd like to go
in alone, Mr. Birdwell?
Oh no thanks.
Why don't we throw something in
there and see what happens?
That's using the
old noodle.
Get set. Pilot to Bombardment.
Pilot to Bombardment.
- Over the target.
- And bombs away.
- What is it?
- A field of grass.
There it is.
Look.
Come in, Voyager,
come in.
You mean Professor
Carter...
Not Professor Carter. The
man who took his place.
Gottfried Seneca.
- The spy?
- Yes.
The spy who intends to destroy
and steal us...
plans for the miniaturization
process.
Oh, I'm a... at least
we're safe for now.
He thinks we got caught in
that peanut grinder.
- But where is Professor Carter?
- I don't know.
But it's with Mr. Kidd
I'm worried right now.
That's right. Quick, Busby.
Get to the hospital.
Right.
- How you feel, Mr. Kidd?
- Much better, thank you.
Good. The nurse asked
me to give you this.
Thanks.
Hurry up, Busby.
Well, I better get back.
No rest for me.
Don't forget the pill.
I won't.
What is this one for?
- What?
- Good shot, Busby.
Poor Jonathan.
We almost scared to death.
Follow the imposter, Mr. Birdwell.
We must discover his friends.
I've been thinking, sir.
These process tower
schematics.
Maybe we should get them out of
here before Guru catches them.
Guru! He's telling him
you're the traitor.
Man, wait till I get
my hands on him.
- After I raise, of course.
- Good idea, Carter. What do you suggest?
I'll miniaturize them and
keep them with me.
- Sure, I would keep it, alright.
- What are we going to do now?
We must wait.
That's what I wanted. Let
them give me the plans.
- Prepare to miniaturize.
- Why don't we do something?
Patience is sometimes
the hardest of gifts.
- We've must wait.
- Activate process.
Stop process.
Now. Mr. Birdwell.
Jump!
- Bring the papers to me.
- Sorry Professor.
Professor Carter,
Professor Carter?
What is that?
A fire.
Now, turn on the alarm
system, quick.
There he is.
- I have to get out of here.
- Too late, Mr. Seneca.
- You can't get out.
- That's true.
But then, of course.
Neither you.
Attendant, bring
the attack craft.
Prepare for
miniaturization.
- Who will fly, sir?
- I will go.
What is he doing?
It's the only chance
to destroy us.
And this is the right
ship to do it.
Let's get moving.
You won't get away
from me, Busby.
But first I have another
call to make.
He should be
somewhere around...
Oh, it's there.
thank goodness,
they see me.
I thought they'd
never find me.
Where is... Oh
no. Not again.
Good afternoon, Professor.
Nice to see you again.
- What's your plan.
- Just test your new attack plane.
On your old one.
- What happened to him?
- He will return.
Then we will be
in trouble.
That plane has more firepower
than six fleets.
But we are faster,
aren't we?
Sure, in the open sky. This
one looks like a cage.
And here comes our
hunter. Hang on.
See if you can top
this, Busby.
- What is it?
- A magnificent weapon.
It can melt us like
a marshmallow.
Kidd, what the blaze
is going on there?
Why did Carter miniaturize?
Carter? I wonder...
That's it, quick.
The sprinkler.
It's going.
Look! Water.
Over there, Busby!
- Get out.
- I can't.
- It's too strong.
- Close it.
He was lucky, but this time he
will need more than luck.
It was afraid that.
Heat guided missiles.
- Do something, Jonathan.
- Let see.
If I was him. I would use
the missiles next.
Turn on the heating
system.
It's no use.
He's got us.
They are turning a side.
It's not going so well, is it?
There are many delaying
in the fate.
I will guarantee personally.
- That looks like it's gone.
- What is it?
The sodium chloride tank. See
if you can make it, Busby.
Oh, we blow the fuel tank
and here he comes.
To the left, Busby.
Quickly.
That's it, we're out of
gas and luck.
Maybe not. Watch.
There they are, like
siting ducks.
Goodbye my...
What?
No!
Stop!
It's good that the salt
melts quickly.
I tell you, when it all goes down,
it's really going to spill out.
Come on, let's dig this over here.
Here is the spy. He's
not so clever now.
Busby, then.
I mean...
What did you do with
Professor Carter?
But I'm Professor
Carter.
Sure you are. Better
start talking.
Chain him up. He
will talk.
He will get what he deserves.
Wait! Is everyone
crazy?
I'm Carter. Guru,
tell them.
How cynical you are.
No, wait.
What was that?
Hey, there's someone
else in here.
Thank goodness.
Oh, very funny,
Guru.
How are you feeling, Carter?
Much better, sir.
Me too. Now at last the master spy
has found his masters.
Perhaps, but the master today
may be the servant tomorrow.
I feel we've have not seen
the last of Gottfried Seneca.
