[ROBO BARKING]

-Help!! Heeeeeeeelp!!

[ROBO BARKING]

-Nah! Norman-Man
to the rescue.

-Atomic Boy to the rescue!

-I got to the rescue
first, Atomic Boy!

-No you didn't! Eh!
Get out of my way...

-Eurgh! -Ooh!

-Will you two stop arguing

and get that horrible
thing away from me!

[ROBO BARKING]

-Looks like Pontypandy has
nearly gone a whole month

without a fire...

-Only one more day to go...



-Do you think this has
anything to do with the fact

that Norman Price
has been

staying at his Auntie
Phylis's Sam?

[Laughing]

-That could have something
to do with it...

[EMERGENCY ALARM]

-Ahhh... I'm thinking
he might be back...

-Waaarrrgghhhhhhhhh!

-What's going on?!

-I'm trying to stop
this Robotic Dog

from taking over Pontypandy!!!

-Oh! I can see the switch,
it's little and on its tummy.

-Do I look like I can tickle
its tummy!!?? Waarrggh!

-Well I wish somebody would
tickle its tummy!

I can't hold on much longer!

[SIREN]

[BARKING CONTINUES]

[BARKING STOPS]

-Aahh! Down you get, Dilys...
Argh! It's safe now...

-Oooh you brave boy! You saved
my poor little Norman!

-No he didn't. I was
getting off anyway.

-Eh! Well, at least
you're all okay...

But what IS that thing?

-Oh, there's a label...
Fire-Dog 2000... ?

-Ahhh Joe...

-What a surprise
seeing you here...

-Did the Fire-Dog 2000 work?

-If it was supposed to chase
Dilys up a lamppost

then I'd say yes...

-Arnold has been helping me
invent a robotic dog

for fire fighting situations
that are too dangerous

for Radar...

-It's in its early stages...

[RADAR BARKS PLAYFULLY]

-Sorry Radar...

I don't think that er
'dog' knows how to play...

-The main problem we're
having with the Fire-Dog 2000

is that it doesn't seem
to recognise people...

-Hmm! It might just be a
matter of adapting the

biometric identification
system...

-It might just be a
matter of throwing it

into the recycling...

[suppresses a chuckle]
-Ahem...

Well, whatever you do I think
it's best you get the er,

Fire-Dog 2000 safely back to
your workshop Joe...

-I will Sam, I will...

-You did it again!!! You tried
to make it look like

you were the superhero!

-But he was the
Superhero Norman!!

-You'd still be wriggling
around on top of that robot dog

if it wasn't for James!

Come on James.

-I can't help it if I'm a better
Superhero than you Norman!

-You don't even have any
REAL superpowers!

-Neither does James!

-You just wait,

I'm going to get myself
some real superpowers...

and then we'll see who
the best superhero is!

-Laser Boy got his superpowers

when he was hit by
a laser beam...

-Em! Ah! I know I've got a
laser Zapper in here somewhere!

Eh!... No... Ah!

Eurgh...
[LASER]

-WOW! What just happened?

[gasps] Ooooo I think I
know what just happened...

-I just got zapped by
a laser beam!

I bet I've got real
SUPERPOWERS now!

-I just need to find
out what they are...

-Aaah! Norman Man will
now attempt to leap

this building in a
single bound!!

-Oh no... There's Norman...

[ZZZZZZZZZZ!!]
-Argh!

That should do it!

-What IS he doing?

-No idea... just ignore him...

-Eh? Er! I'm about to jump
over this tall building

in a single bound!!

-Eh? Did someone
say something?

-I don't think so Sarah...
There's no one here!

-Yes there is! I'm here!
Look! It's me!!!

Norman Ma... Wait a minute...

I was right in
front of them...

and they didn't see me...
which means...

-I'm Invisible! That's my
Super Power!

I'm Invisible Norman Man!

And I'm going to show
everyone who's

the BEST Superhero round here!

-I just need to find something
I can rescue Pontypandy from...

But what
could it be... ?

-Right Arnold!

-I think it's time for
another test run

of the Fire-Dog 2000...

[ELECTRONIC HUM & GROWL]

[whimper]

-Er... is it just me
or does the Fire-Dog

look sort of angry?

-Nope... not just you...

-Oh dear oh dear oh dear...

-Warrggh! Help! Nooooooooo!!

-Well...

It looks like the Streets of
Pontypandy are safe Sam...

we might make that whole month
without fires after all!

-You never know Ellie,
we might just do that...

-Warrggh! Help!

Nooooooooo!!

[ROBOTIC BARKING]

-Look!

[gasps] Ah! Fire-Dog 2000...

This looks like a job for
Atomic Boy!

-Be careful James!

[ROBOTIC BARKING]

[GROWLS]

-Oh no! The biometric
identification system seems to

be targeting its subjects
with hostile intent!

-Er... what?

-It sees people
and chases them!

-Aaarrrgghhhhhh! Go away!

[SPARKING, BARKING &
MALFUNCTIONING]

-Dah! Aha! Invisible Norman
Man's chance to save the day

from useless Atomic Boy!!

-Er, bb... Be careful Norman

-I don't need to be careful!

I'm invisible which
means I can...

wait a minute...
you can see me?

-We can all see you Norman...

-But that means...

[ROBO GROWLING]

HE can see me?

-Run Norman!

[GROWLING & MALFUNCTIONING].

-Oh dear... I hope they stay
away from my cans of petrol!

[BOOM!]

-Oh oh... better call
Fireman Sam!

[ALARM BEEPS]

-Norman Price is being chased
by a robotic dog

that's on fire!

-Norman Price is being chased
by a robotic dog

that's on fire!?

-The Fire-Dog 2000!!

-This could be a big fire...
better take Jupiter!

-Penny! We're going
to need you!

-On my way!

[SIREN]

-Stay back everyone, keep a
safe distance away!

-Norman-Man is doomed...
doomed... Dooooooooomed!!!'

[POWERS DOWN]

-That takes care of Fire-Dog...

We need to be careful,
there's petrol in there.

-Switching to sticky foam Sam!

-Aaah! The streets of
Pontypandy are safe again...

Aren't they?

-I'm sorry I put myself in
danger Fireman Sam...

but I really thought
I was invisible...

-I'm sorry but I think that
the blame must lie

with my Fire Dog 2000...

-So... this wasn't
my fault then?!

-Well, whoever's fault
it was...

I think you two should stop
work on the Fire-Dog 2000

for the moment... and invent
something less likely

to burn down the whole of
Pontypandy...

-Woof!

[laughing] Don't worry
Radar,

I think your job is
safe for a while...

-Ha! Stop that...

-A fire in Pontypandy, and for
once it wasn't my fault.

Ha ha! Maybe that's what
my new superpower was,

the boy who
doesn't start fires.
