- [Announcer] Badge of Danger!

- [Narrator] Police
headquarters in the year 2000.

- Hey, Inspector.

(grunts)

- You scared me, Jim.

I guess I fell asleep.



- It's too bad I woke you up,

but I heard a terrible noise
and came to investigate.

It was you snoring.

- I didn't mean
to worry you, Jim,

but if there's anything in the
world louder than my snoring,

(laughs) I need to hear it.

(laughing)

I heard something louder now!

- The sound is
coming from the sky!

(high-pitched wail)
Look!

It's some kind of weird ship!

- Hmm, you're right!

A lot of them!

(high-pitched wail)

(siren wails)

Emergency.

- Hear the siren?
- Yes, sir.

That means that those
ships might attack.

- Hmm, that's true.

I'm very worried, Jim.

(phone rings)
Da-la!

Maybe this will be
an emergency report.

Right now?

Yes, sir.

Supreme headquarters has put
us on emergency alert, Jim.

They want you to be ready
with your robot control.

They might ask you to send
out Gigantor to defend us.

- Okay!

(high-pitched wail)

- The strange objects
are now over the city.

All military and space
experts are trying,

but as yet, they fail
to identify them.

Nobody knows where
they came from.

We're sending up
our jets to keep

the strange objects
from attacking us.

(suspenseful orchestral music)
(jet roars)

(jets roar)

(high-pitched wail)

(guns fire)

(jets roar)

(guns fire)

(explosions boom)

(high-pitched wail)

(guns fire)

(beeping)

(electricity crackles)

(groaning)

- [Jimmy] They're
getting our planes!

(flames crackle)

(groaning)

- [Radio] Headquarters
calling Inspector Blooper,

headquarters calling
Inspector Blooper.

- This is Blooper.

Come in, headquarters.

I'm listening now, go ahead.

- [Radio] Ask Jim Sparks
to send up Gigantor

against those strange ships!

We need his help desperately!

- Yes, sir, immediately!

- I've got the
controls right here.

(high-pitched hum)
I'll get him.

Come on, Gigantor!

(dramatic orchestral music)

(loud roar)

(high-pitched hum)

- [Inspector] Where is he, Jim?

Where's Gigantor?

There's no time to lose!

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(electricity crackles)

(screaming)

- Gigantor, fight back!

(loud crash)

(flames crackle)

(beeping)

(groaning)

Hey, look at them.

They're getting away!

(mysterious orchestral music)

They're gone, but
everybody's safe.

- Well, I'm glad of that, but
that's not the end of them.

- [Announcer] Now, at
Bob Brilliant's home,

Jim has told Bob,
his son Buttons,

and their housekeeper
Lotus, about the attack.

- But why, what went wrong?

He should have won.

- Gigantor could
have beaten them,

but then used some kind of beam.

He had no defense
and they got him!

- Well, I'll build
a defense for him.

- But is one possible?

- [Bob] Mm-hmm.

- Could these flying
saucers be coming

from somewhere in space?

- [Bob] I don't know.

- They are.

You saw them.

They're not from Earth.

They're from space.

- Are they?

I'm not so sure.

We'll have to remain alert.

- Wherever they come
from, they're frightening.

- Anyway, Gigantor
needs a new device

in order to fight them, right?

- [Bob] Right, Jim, I'll get
to work on it immediately.

- [Jimmy] That's good
news, Dr. Brilliant.

(upbeat orchestral music)

(gasps)

(bullets ricocheting)

(high-pitched wail)

- Hmm, it landed in the back
of Dr. Briliant's house.

Stop!

(gasping)

What are you doing
with Dr. Brilliant?

- They're taking me away!

Look out, Jim!

- I won't let them take you!

Let him go!

(grunting)

(grunts)
(screams)

- [Masked Man] He'll be
all right, Brilliant.

Let's go.

(flames crackle)

- Hmm. (gasps)

One of them was wearing this.

Gosh, it's a clue!

I better sound the alarm.

Buttons, Lotus!

Hey, what happened?

Are you all right?

Buttons, Buttons!

Wake up!

You're not hurt.

- I'm not?

I thought I was.

Where's my father?

- Some of those strange men

just took him away
in their airship.

- What?
- Oh, they took him away?

- Yes, Lotus.

Those men didn't come here
from outer space though.

They're from Earth, and
so it might be easier

to get Dr. Brilliant back.

(high-pitched wail)

- [Narrator] Later, at
police headquarters.

- [Inspector] Hmm, I've never
seen one of these before.

It looks like some
kind of badge.

- I wonder why those men took
Dr. Brilliant away with them.

- Yes, that's an
important point.

Oh!

Hey, say, Jim, this
is more than a badge.

Look.

- [Jimmy] Wow.

- [Narrator] The saucer
carrying Dr. Bob Brilliant

as prisoner arrives at a
secret submarine headquarters.

(water splashes)

- [Man] Mr. Oogleblabb,
we have brought

you Dr. Bob Brilliant.

- Mm-hmm.

Enter.

Greetings.

A-ha!

- What is it, sir?

- You thought I
wouldn't notice, huh?

But I did.

You can't fool me.

Where, Slurk, where
is your badge?

- Ah, it's missing!

I had it on when we got
to Dr. Brilliant's house,

but then I got the terrible
fight with some boy

who tried to stop us, and the
badge must have dropped too!

- You stupid fool.

Tell me rule number
three in my book

of laws concerning badges!

- Yes, Mr. Oogleblabb.

Uh, when a badge has
been stolen or lost,

it must be reported
to you immediately.

- [Oogleblabb] Exactly,
Slurk, that's the rule.

And what's the penalty
for breaking it?

- It's, um--

- [Oogleblabb] You're
breaking another rule

by not remembering that rule!

- For a week, I must
ride on the periscope.

- [Oogleblabb] So you had
better get that badge back.

- I'll try!

- Well, Brilliant,
welcome to the ship.

Oogleblabb's the name and
world conquest's the game.

- Exactly what do you mean?

You must be joking. (laughs)

- No, I'm not!

I've never been more
serious in my life.

But I'm going to need you to
help build me another Gigantor.

- Build another Gigantor with
witch to take over the world?

I won't.

Gigantor was built
in order to fight

for freedom and not for evil.

(laughing)

- So you refuse to
cooperate with us.

It doesn't matter.

Your brain will cooperate.

You'll be like these scientists.

In this complete laboratory,

I've gathered some of the
topmost scientists of the world.

Every one of them
refused to work for me

until I controlled their brains.

Now they do exactly
what I order,

build all the weapons
I'll need to carry out

my scheme for world conquest.

If I put you in my brain
chamber for a week,

you'll be exactly like them,
a human machine. (laughs)

- [Bob Voiceover] Oh, no.

- [Bob] You wouldn't
do that to me.

- [Oogleblabb] Wouldn't I?

Put him in the brain chamber.

- [Man] Sure, boss.

- Let me go!

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Later, at
Jimmy Sparks's house.

(high-pitched wail)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(gasps)
- Don't make a sound.

- You, you're one
of the gangsters

that took Dr. Brilliant away.

- [Slurk] Yeah, and
I lost my badge here.

You must have it.
Give it to me!

- Never mind about that!

Where's the doctor?

- Never mind about the doctor!

Where's my badge?

This box says that you got it.

Mr. Oogleblabb, my boss,
warned me I must ride

the periscope unless
I get it back.

- If you tell me just one
thing, I'll give it back.

- Well, what do
you want to know?

- [Jimmy] What's
the secret mechanism

inside the badge used for?

- I would be breaking another

of Oogleblabb's
laws if I told you!

Hand it over!

- Okay.

(groans)
(grunts)

(glass smashes)
(screams)

Wait!

Wait!

(high-pitched wail)
Wait!

Gigantor must catch him!

(loud roar)

(high-pitched hum)

(flames roar)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(high-pitched wail)

(loud crash)

(loud boom)

(flames crackle)
- Help!

Help me!

Help, help!

It's hot!

Get me out of here!

Help me!

- Okay, come on!

- Why are you helping me?

Listen, boy, I'm your enemy!

(groans)

- [Jimmy] No matter who you are,

I'll help anybody
who needs help!

Now let's go!

I've got to get you to a doctor!

- [Slurk] Okay.

We should all have
enemies like you.

- [Narrator] While an ambulance
rushes Slurk to a hospital,

Inspector Blooper is
sleeping peacefully.

(loudly snoring)

(phone ringing)

(gasps)
- This is Blooper.

What?

Oh, Jim, any news?

What's that?

You got one of them?

And he's one of the gang?

Oh, great work, Jim.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(grunts)
(screams)

- What are you doing out of bed?

(grunting)

- What's the noise about?

(gasps) Oh!

- He got away
through the window.

- He did?

In his condition?

I better go after him.

Call Inspector
Blooper and tell him.

- [Nurse] Mm-hmm.

- I feel just as if my
flying saucer crashed.

(groans)

(panting)

(button clicking)

- [Narrator] Slurk's desperate
message for help reaches

the secret submarine
headquarters.

(water bubbling)

(high-pitched squeal)

- Mr. Oogleblabb, we
just got a message

from Slurk asking for help.

- Really, in trouble again?

- Yes, sir.

His ship was just attacked

and smashed up by
Gigantor, he said.

But he got his badge back.

What should we do now?

- You're supposed
to know my laws.

Article number
four applies here.

Get rid of him.

- [Man] Yes, sir!

- That's funny, no one answered.

Something's wrong.

(button clicking)

(groans)

- [Jimmy] Hey, who
are you calling?

- Huh?

How'd you get here?

- When you escaped, I followed.

The police are
already on their way!

(siren wails)

(grunts)

- [Slurk] You won't get me!

- Come back here!

Wait!

- Taxi!
(tires screeching)

Get out!
(screams)

Thief, robber!

(loud crash)

(tires screech)

(high-pitched wail)

- [Slurk] My pals. (laughing)

Hey!

Hey, I'm down here!

Come and pick me up!

Hey!

(high-pitched hum)

- [Inspector] Oh, my!

- [Jimmy] We've got to
get him out of there!

- All right, come on!

He's out cold, but he
doesn't seem badly hurt.

- [Slurk] They tried to get me

just because I didn't
have the badge.

(groans)

- Hey, come on!

You're gonna be all right!

- I know.

This badge will
help you find them,

and I hope you get Oogleblabb.

- [Jimmy] We've got to
before he destroys the world.

- Oh, he passed out.

Say, Jim, we better
use this badge.

Once we find their headquarters,

we can try to rescue
Bob Brilliant.

Call out, Gigantor.

- Right!
- Let's go.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(jets roar)

- [Masked Man]
Uh-oh, it's Gigantor!

And a whole search party!

- Sir, a whole fleet of
planes is headed straight

for our submarine and they
got Gigantor with them!

- I've expected this.

Well, it's simple, we
just have to fight them.

(high-pitched wail)
(dramatic orchestral music)

- [Jimmy] Look!

That must be it down there!

(high-pitched hum)

(loud crash)

(electricity crackles)

(loud crash)

(water splashes)

- Gigantor is harder
to beat than I thought,

but I'll get him right now!

- Oh, I don't know.

Why don't we send out a
smokescreen and retreat in it?

- Sissy!

I won't leave here until
I destroy that robot!

- [Masked Man] Oh,
whatever you say, boss!

(soft boom)

(canons fire)

(explosions boom)

(loud crash)

- Our guns are smashed.

What do we do now, huh?

- Hmm.

Take her down before
he hits us again!

Hurry!

(loud crash)
(screaming)

(loud crash)

- All right, come out of there!

I'll give you one chance!

Come out!

Come out, come out
wherever you are!

- Tell me where I can
find Dr. Brilliant.

- When you attacked--

- Yes?
- I think Brilliant got away.

- [Inspector] How do we know
you're telling the truth, huh?

Do you want Gigantor
to help us find out?

- No, no!

Anything but that!

- Where's the big
boss of your gang?

- Mr. Oogleblabb is downstairs.

- [Inspector] All
right, take us to him!

(suspenseful orchestral music)

A-ha, he's not here!

You lied to us!

- Yes, I did.

You'll never catch
Mr. Oogleblabb.

But listen, he left a message.

- [Jimmy] On that tape recorder?

Let's hear it.

- [Oogleblabb]
Greetings, Inspector
Blooper and Jim Sparks,

you've beaten me this time,
but I haven't given up.

Some day I will
take over the world

and you won't be
able to stop me!

- That's what he thinks!

But what's he done
with Bob Brilliant?

- Gee, maybe he's a prisoner
somewhere on this ship!

You, you must know where he is!

What are you looking there for?

Is that where he's hidden?

- Let go of me!

I don't know where he is!

- You were about to use
that machine on him!

And isn't he in this
box right under it?

- No, where did you
get an idea like that?

- [Inspector] How
can we get him out?

Tell us!

- Just press that button
over there on that wall.

- Try it.

- [Inspector]
Okay, here it goes.

Bob!
- (gasps) Doctor Brilliant!

- Thanks, Jim.

You've rescued me just
in the nick of time.

Oogleblabb and his mob were
about to control my brain

and force me to build
another Gigantor.

Thank you, both.

- Thank Gigantor.

He saved you.

- Yeah, that's right.

He did.

- [Bob] But where's Oogleblabb?

(loud crashing)
(groaning)

- The boss has done it!

This submarine's about to sink!

- [Inspector] Let's
get out of here!

(screaming)

Take off, Jim!

(engine roars)

(jets roar)

(loud boom)

Well, Jimmy, another
job well done.

- [Jimmy] I bet we hear
from Mr. Oogleblabb again.

(high-pitched hum)

- [Narrator] Jimmy Sparks and
Inspector Blooper are heading

straight for another exciting
adventure with Gigantor!
