- [Announcer] The
Magic Multiplier!
In the year 2000, Gigantor,
the most powerful robot
the world has ever known,
is put through maneuvers
by Jimmy Sparks, his owner.
(upbeat energetic music)
- Looks good, Jim.
He's in top condition.
- He must have exercise
just like humans.
Isn't that right?
- It sure is, Jim.
The more we exercise,
the stronger we get,
and the better we feel.
And that reminds me that
we've been taking it
easy for too long a time.
I'd like some exciting action
so I can stay in shape.
- Doesn't sound like you,
Inspector, wanting action.
- (laughing) It's me, alright.
- [Dispatcher] Calling
Inspector Blooper.
Headquarters calling
Inspector Blooper,
come in, come in,
wherever you are.
- Oh!
Action!
Headquarters, here I am.
Go ahead, what's up?
- [Dispatcher]
Some mysterious men
have taken Professor
Dimdome's daughter,
Dottie, to some unknown place.
Go to his home immediately!
- [Jimmy] New case, Inspector?
- Yes.
- Good.
Let's start on it right away.
- You're right, Jim.
- Come on!
- [Narrator] The house
of Professor Dimdome.
- Here's the report I
got, Professor Dimdome,
was that your daughter
was taken away.
But are you positive that
she was forced to leave?
- This note was on her bed.
- [Blooper] Here, let
me take a look at that.
- [Professor] It was left
by those men, I guess.
- Bring the Multiplier
to Echo Cave.
If you wanna see your
daughter Dottie again,
do exactly what we tell you.
We mean what we say,
as you will soon learn.
Obey or be sorry.
- Professor, what's
this thing they want
called a Multiplier?
- It's my most recent invention.
I call it my MMM Multiplier.
It's top secret!
But I'll show it to
you, come into the lab.
This is the
Multiplier projector.
I'll show you how it works.
Watch closely.
(gasping)
(exclaims)
- This is amazing.
Which one is the real
Professor Dimdome?
Every single one of
them is exactly like
every single other one of him.
- Maybe every one of them
is Professor Dimdome.
Look, there's the real one!
- You're right.
- Sorry I confused
you, gentlemen.
I'm the real me.
This Multiplier projector
confuses the optic nerves,
creating the illusion
of multiplicity.
- Professor, you'll
have to be careful.
You wouldn't want the wrong
men to get hold of that.
- Yes, it could multiply crooks.
- Gentlemen, did you
forget that note?
Those men have my daughter!
I'll be glad to exchange
the Multiplier for her.
I want her home!
And I'll do anything
to save her.
- Well Jim, I agree with him.
He'll have to give the
Multiplier to those men
to get his daughter home.
- Okay, let's go.
If we go with him,
maybe we can help.
- [Narrator] Jimmy
Sparks, Inspector Blooper
and Professor Dimdome headed
for the secret rendez vous
deep within this mountain.
(tense instrumental music)
(gasping)
- Professor, did you
bring the Multiplier?
- What?
You, you've got my daughter!
- (laughing) Yes, Professor.
And if you don't believe
me, listen to her voice.
Listen!
- [Dottie] Daddy, it's
me, your daughter Dottie!
Help me get out!
- My dear Dottie, where are you?
- [Dottie] Inside
the robot turtle!
- Put that Multiplier down.
- There.
(laughing)
Now give me back my daughter!
- Not yet.
First I want to make sure
this is the real Multiplier.
It's the real one, so
you can have Dottie back.
- Daddy!
- My daughter!
- Turtle robot!
Who's operating you?
- Yeah!
- If it isn't Jimmy Sparks
and Inspector Blooper.
What are you two nosy
bodies doing down here?
- Hey!
- I know him!
I know that voice.
- (laughing) You once
thought you had destroyed me.
But the Unglablob's the name,
and taking over the
world is still me game.
- You'll pay, we'll see to that.
(laughing)
- I've always dreamed and
schemed to take over the world,
and this time I'm
going to do it.
Nothing, not even Gigantor,
will be able to stop me.
You will see. (laughing)
(water splashing)
- Please call for Gigantor!
- Yes, sir.
(electronic whizzing)
(suspenseful instrumental music)
(water splashing)
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- [Jimmy] The
water's going down.
(gasping)
Let's climb to the bottom!
This is supposed to
belong to Ungablob .
- But by the look of
all those spider webs
this laboratory hasn't
been used for some time.
I wonder what
happened to Ungablob
and his robot turtle.
- Obviously they got away.
There must be a door
in here somewhere.
- [Blooper] You have yet
to try those buttons.
Not a thing happened.
- [Jimmy] I'll try another.
Get ready, it
might do something.
Ah!
- [Blooper] This is the
only way that robot turtle
could have gotten out.
- [Jimmy] Let's go up!
- [Blooper] Good idea.
- Made it.
But there isn't a sign
of the turtle anywhere.
No footprints, nothing.
- [Blooper] This
is very mysterious.
- [Dottie] I think I know
what happened to him.
- What's your idea, Dottie?
- The robot turtle's
able to fly.
- Really?
It's able to fly?
- Yes, I was in it
and it flew through
the air like a bird,
a big clumsy bird!
- Like a big bird, huh?
- [Jimmy] Inspector Blooper,
it looks as though you're
getting the same idea I am!
- Yes, Gigantor will
have to fight this turtle
so we'd better be ready.
Let's go.
(suspenseful instrumental music)
- [Narrator] At Jimmy Spark's
house the next morning
there's an unexpected visitor.
- What is it?
- Oh, Hello, Jimmy.
Boobal is my name,
and I'm one of
your greatest fans.
If you take me on
your adventures,
I'll be your assistant.
- But I haven't any
reason to take you.
I don't need an assistant.
- But if you hire me,
I'll be very useful,
I can do anything, watch.
- [Jimmy] Wow.
- Good, huh?
Now watch this.
See, I'm able to do anything.
- I see.
But Boobal, there's no job
for an acrobat or dancer.
- [Boobla] Well goodbye then.
- That's strange.
She didn't act
like a really girl,
I wonder if she was
sent here to snoop.
- [Narrator] Far at sea,
the secret headquarters
of Mr. Ungablob,
a man who schemes to
take over the world.
(chuckling)
(laughing)
- Soon I'll find out how well
the Multiplier projector works.
We have waited long enough,
the time has come!
Alright, men, attack!
(men yelling)
- [Narrator] At this moment,
the World Defense
Forces are unaware
of the impending attack.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
- A suspicious object, sir,
but it's not an airplane.
- Can it be?
- Can it be?
- A flying--
- A flying--
- Turtle?
- Turtle?
(exploding)
- Don't let that flying turtle
get away with this, men!
Fire back at it!
(guns firing)
- [Ungablob] Now I use
the Multiplier projector.
They're in for a surprise.
(gasping)
- It's a trick!
Keep up the fire!
(guns firing)
- Look at that!
There's more turtles,
they're all in a line!
(exploding)
- Don't give up!
Keep shooting at them!
(gasping)
(guns firing)
- Those jets aren't any
good against these turtles.
(chuckling)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [All] Victory!
- Their whole fleet
couldn't win against the
Multiplier projector.
Once we get Gigantor,
the world will be ours.
Any news form Robot One?
- Not a word.
- [Narrator] Meanwhile
at Jimmy Spark's house.
- Hey!
What are you doing?
Well Boobala?
How were you able to
come in the house here?
I didn't hire you,
I said there was no job.
Hey wait!
You're made of metal!
I guess you're a spy robot,
I know it and you
were sent by Ungablob.
Gigantor!
Follow her!
And hurry, find out
where Ungablob is!
(mechanical whirring)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [Henchman] Boss!
Ungablob, we just got a report
from spy robot number one.
She failed to get
Gigantor's controls.
She's coming back here
but Gigantor is following her!
- She'll led him straight to us.
Take spy robot one apart!
- [Henchman] Yes, sir.
(suspenseful instrumental music)
- It was him.
Now what?
I know!
I'll contact the defense forces
and ask them to find the
headquarters of Ungablob.
- [Narrator] The defense
forces send out search jets.
- [Blooper] It's pretty smart
that he got a girl
robot as his spy.
- And its brain was electronic.
We'll have to be careful
he doesn't try it again.
Ungablob almost
fooled me, Inspector.
- You are a pretty
smart boy, Jim.
I might have fallen for
that trick after all.
And the girl, too.
- Inspector, any word yet
about finding
Ungablob's headquarters?
- No, but I'll call it again.
This Inspector Blooper.
Any word yet?
- [Dispatcher] Hello, inspector.
Our search jets are
combing the seven seas,
but have nothing to report.
- Keep trying.
- I hope they find Ungablob
before it's too late.
- Yeah, so do I, Jim.
They had better find him.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [Pilot] This is
search party three,
search party three,
We just spotted a
suspicious island
north by northeast
of defense forces.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(missiles firing)
We are under heavy fire
and now the robot turtle
is rising from the island!
- What's up?
- [Dispatcher] Inspector,
Mr. Ungablob's
secret headquarters
is no secret anymore.
It's located 100 nautical miles
north by northeast of up here.
We need Gigantor!
- Well, Jim, they're
really in trouble.
- I hear them, inspector,
I'll send Gigantor.
- Do you think he'll
be able to handle it?
- You know him,
you've seen him fight.
Nobody in the
world can beat him!
- Listen, Jim.
You better go straight
out to the airport.
I'll come later,
I have something else to do.
Okay?
- Well, you have something else?
- [Blooper] Yes and it's
very important and urgent.
But I can't tell you
about it right now
so don't ask me anything more.
Taxi!
Good luck, I hope we get him!
- He's up to something.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
Now what's keeping
the inspector?
Oh.
- Sorry I'm late, Jim.
Come on, let's take off.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(chuckling)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(yelling)
- Boss, look what's
flying behind us!
- Excellent, he'll be trapped.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
- [Jimmy] Uh oh.
Get all of them, Gigantor!
That's the only way we
can get the real turtle!
Get him, Gigantor, get him!
Go, Gigantor, go.
Go!
(dramatic suspenseful music)
- Jim, I have something
special for you.
You put on these
divider glasses,
go ahead and put them on!
And then look at those turtles.
- [Jim] Whoa.
- Yeah, I got the
special glasses
from Professor Dimdome.
He invented them.
Instead of multiplying,
they divide,
and so whenever you want to tell
which are the false images
created by the
Multiplier, use them.
- [Jim] Great idea!
Now we've got a fighting chance!
My glasses say that
isn't the real one!
Go after the real one!
- I can't fool them anymore
with the Multiplier,
launch the missiles!
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(missiles exploding)
That robot thinks
he's smart, huh?
(dramatic suspenseful music)
- [Jim] It's falling
into the volcano!
Gigantor, save it!
- [Robot Turtle] Let
go, you big hunk of tin.
I don't want to be saved by you!
Put me down, put me down!
Put me down!
(upbeat instrumental music)
- [Narrator] Is this the end
of Mr. Ungablob's dream
of ruling the world?
Once again, Gigantor has
proved to be the fastest,
strongest robot ever made.
But Ungablob may return
or another evil genius
may challenge Gigantor.
