- [Narrator] The Submarine Base.
This is the city
in the year 2000.
Speeding through it's
ultra-modern tunnel,
a subway train rushes
passengers to the city.
No one in the crowd
suspects this man.
(ticking)
(suspenseful music)
(ticking)
(suspenseful music)
(loud exploding)
(phone rings)
- Bombs exploding
in the city center?
(upbeat suspenseful music)
- Let's move, Jimmy!
(guns firing)
- [Jimmy] Bullets!
- [Inspector] Stay
covered, Jimmy!
(guns firing)
- Geez, inspector, who are they?
- Sparky, I don't know.
(guns firing)
- Hello, submarine, Bugsy,
we have successfully
drawn all units of the
police and fire departments
to the city center.
- Good, now look, Bugs, keep
drawing their attention.
In the meantime, I send
out boys who do dirty work.
Attention, Squad B,
this is Swami Fami
at submarine headquarters.
It is now safe to attack
the professor's house.
- Alright!
- Oh, dear, what
is this all about?
- Granny, where is
Professor Brainy,
expert on rocket fuel?
- [Granny] In there!
- What is the meaning
of this intrusion?
- You had better
come quietly, Brainy.
- Really?
- [Granny] Stop, stop!
Ah, help me!
Help me!
Help, someone help me!
- Oh, Granny, what
happened to you, darlin'?
Your mouth is tied!
- Magnolia, they've
taken your father!
(suspenseful music)
- [Thug] Now, look, Professor
Brainy, ain't that nice?
Swami Fami sent us his
own personal submarine
to pick you up.
- [Brainy] Where
are we going, sir?
- [Thug] To the Sawmi
secret submarine base.
(suspenseful music)
- Well, if it isn't the
great Professor Brainy.
- So, you are Swami Fami.
- I am, furthermore, once
I set my sight upon a man,
I never let him escape.
Now, I need the formula for
your super rocket
fuel, professor,
and you are going
to write it down.
- No sir, I'm not
giving my secret formula
to anybody, Swami.
- I am told you are a brave
man, but I hope not a fool.
- [Brainy] I'll protect
my secret with my life!
- I see, that being the
case, I'll allow you
to remain here until
you change your mind.
Hey, you, follow
through as we agreed.
- Right?
- Right!
- What they must've
done, young man
was to grab the professor
while I passed out
and then spirit him away.
- Sounds like the work of Swami,
a mystic called Swami Fami.
And I bet ya all those
bombings were meant
to draw our attention
while they spirited
Professor Brainy away.
- Jimmy, do you think
they'll harm my daddy?
- If they do,
Magnolia, they'll have
to fight Gigantor
and Jimmy Sparks.
- Hey, Magoon, as long as
that kid, Sparks is in there,
we can't take the girl.
What'll we do?
- Lemme think, lemme think!
The cops will be
on the case soon.
I'm planting a bomb right
under the foundation.
No evidence.
You cover for me, Squid, cover!
- [Squid] Right.
Hey!
- What's that?
- [Magoon] Squid, what happened?
- Sorry, that cat hates crooks,
it jumped right on me!
- A cat?
Nitwit!
- Hey, why are you
two hiding there?
- Hey, Squid, let's
get outta here!
- Stop, you goons!
Stop!
(suspenseful music)
The letter F on
the conning tower,
boy, if that isn't Swami
Fami, I'm not Jim Sparks!
(suspenseful music)
They submerged, and not because
they saw me coming either.
Well, that means that
the submarine base
must be here, right?
Right.
(suspenseful music)
- We thought it
would be a sinch to
get the girl, Swami.
But that kid, Jimmy
Sparks showed up
and spoiled everything!
However, I did crawl
under the building
and set a bomb
controlled by radio.
- That's good,
let's tell Brainy.
Doctor, will you
write me formula?
- I'll never give you
the formula, Swami,
I wouldn't to save my life.
Never!
- Oh, you wouldn't?
Doctor, you see this button?
If I press it it
starts a radio wave
that explodes a bomb.
The bomb is hidden under the
foundation of your house.
- What?
(laughs)
- So, professor,
you love daughter?
Now do you refuse to write
me the rocket fuel formula?
I am going to count to five.
If you still refuse
to answer, I am going
to push the button.
One,
two,
three, four...
- No, wait, I'll
write the formula!
- You're smart,
very smart.
Take him back to his room,
give him paper and pen.
- [Brainy] I have many
difficult calculations to do,
I'll need three days.
- Write the formula
as fast as you can.
Understand, professor?
- You plan on making
mistakes and you better
think of your daughter.
(suspenseful music)
- Getting Brainy to
write the formula
for rocket fuel was hard
part, the rest is easy.
Your job is to see
that he writes it
in less than three days.
- Sir, excuse me, it's Gigantor!
- What?
Gigantor, I have a
surprise for you.
Energize our new
magnetic crane, quick!
(dramatic music)
- That's strange, Gigantor
seems to have stopped moving.
- [Narrator] Later at
Police Headquarters.
- Yes, sir, that was the
last I saw of Gigantor.
- And you think he's
trapped by Swami Fami?
- What are we going to
do, Inspector Blooper?
- Well now, look,
Gigantor isn't exactly
a soft marshmallow,
he's tall and strong
and can handle himself,
which is a lot more
than I can say for you, Jimmy,
you look awfully tired to me.
You go home and get some rest.
- Yes, sir.
- Poor Jimmy, I know he's
worried about Gigantor,
I feel sorry for him, but
don't know what I can do.
- Gee whiz, I'm
worried about Gigantor.
Suppose Swami Fami
captured him, what then?
What then?
Please don't worry about
me, I'll be alright.
I must look for Gigantor.
(suspenseful music)
30 miles and hour, north
by northeast, 45 minutes,
should be around here.
Well, here goes.
(suspenseful music)
Gigantor!
- Well, I've been expecting
you, Jimmy Sparks.
What do you think of
my trap for Gigantor?
Is clever, no?
Glad you like it, now,
take another look.
- Professor!
Professor!
- [Brainy] Jimmy Sparks!
(laughs)
- Professor Brainy is
writing me the secret formula
for his super
rocket fuel, Jimmy.
- Don't do it, doctor,
don't give it away!
- If he doesn't, it's
the end of his house
and daughter, Magnolia.
One switch finishes
both things, see?
(laughs)
- You understand,
you understand, Jim.
- [Inspector] Oh my, oh my.
Oh, dear.
- Inspector Blooper
I've just returned
from Jimmy Sparks' house, sir!
- Good!
How did he appear
to you, lonely,
he down a bit?
- [Officer] He's disappeared!
- What's that,
disappeared you say?
- Well, sir, I found
a note attached to
the remote control unit Jimmy
always uses for Gigantor.
- Oh!
"Don't worry about
me, I'm alright,
"I'm going to look
for Giagantor."
Call the army!
- I'll do that, sir.
- Why did he go alone?
If I had known, I could've
gone along with him.
Sparky, where are you?
- Finally finished, huh, doc?
It don't look like
no formula to me.
- So, we finally
succeeded in getting
the professor's formula.
- And with that formula,
a guy could be the king
of outer space.
That what you said, Swami?
- That's right, now I'm
going to make arrangements
for returning home.
- And what do want us
to do with old geezer
and Jimmy Sparks?
- Let the sharks have them both.
- Water!
- Let's see Sparks escape this.
- We're through, son!
- No, professor, don't give up!
I saw a safety hatch
around here somewhere!
I found it!
I'm not kidding, bud, turn
off that magnetic crane!
- [Magoon] I can't, you
have to break that switch!
- All clear, doctor, let's go.
- Hey, the geezer
and the kid got away!
- [Jimmy] Swami!
- Take them!
Nitwits, where are they, huh?
- Well, they were here
just a second ago.
- Crook, Snook,
check the fire exit!
- Alright.
Sorry, Swami Fami, they
are not at the fire exit.
- Well then, see where they are,
bring them to me!
- Professor, that
must be a fire exit,
let's try it!
- [Brainy] Jimmy,
look, aqua lungs!
- You're right!
I'm getting an idea.
Good deal.
♪ Here we go round
the mulberry bush
Okay, let's go.
- What, you say
they both have gone?
Follow!
(dramatic music)
- They're gone, we
must've passed 'em!
I don't even see 'em.
Do you, Squid?
- [Squid] No, but they must
be around here
somewheres, Magoon.
What do think we
should, like, do?
- [Magoon] Go back down!
- Swim, professor Brainy,
don't give up now!
- I can't, you go ahead,
don't you worry about me.
- No, I won't swim away
and leave you behind, sir!
- You have to go,
Jimmy, don't forget
Swami now has my secret formula,
a formula that enables
its owner to become
the absolute master of space.
Swami must not escape!
- No, no, no!
I'm not going to leave you!
Professor, a ship!
Ahoy there!
- It's two men bobbing
there in the water.
- It's them!
You say Swami Fami was
holding you prisoner
at the bottom of the sea?
- Yes, that's quite
right, Inspector Blooper.
His base is way over there,
oh, about two miles due south.
- Alright, the guy
is asking for it.
From now on, we will take him.
All men, to your
battle stations!
- Alert, alert, alert, alert!
Ships and planes
coming to attack!
- Hey, emergency, all men
to their stations, quick!
(alarm ringing)
- Where's the fire, huh?
- No fire, we're being
attacked by whales, fool!
- Mommy, I want my mommy!
- [Thug] Quiet,
Swami is thinking!
- [Swami] So, they
finally found us, eh?
Alright, let them come
closer and then attack!
- Yes, Swami!
- Say, I think we're
going to be over
Swami's headquarters
any second now, Sparky.
You try to start Gigantor.
- Yes, sir.
Gigantor, get going!
The Swami in the submarine bay!
- Start the attack!
(dramatic music)
- Uh oh, Gigantor's
breaking in here, sir!
He's a bully!
- So, it's Gigantor.
Start robot octopuses!
- Hey, Swami will
get away, Gigantor.
Make sure he won't escape!
(dramatic music)
- The iron man!
- That crazy robot
ruined my career!
- Let's away, Gigantor!
That's the way to do it!
- [Narrator] And
Gigantor flies straight
to another exciting adventure.
