[SPEED] Trixie, Sparky, Spritle,
Chim Chim and I

were driving to the city of Nitona

to compete in the Nitona race

when we met the star of a small circus

called the Universal Circus.

The Star's name was Twinkle Banks.

She was a Daredevil Driver

and when a certain Mr. Cornpone
Brotch arranged for Twinkle

to drive her car across Niagara Falls

in order to gain publicity for
the circus, Twinkle agreed.



Thousands of people gathered to watch her

drive across the falls
on two ropes.

The wind grew strong as her
car approached the Canadian side,

and then the car fell.

Twinkle managed to
grab one of the ropes

while I went to the rescue.

[SPEED] Give me your hand!

[SPEED, TWINKLE grunt]

[gasps]

[SPEED] The last rope broke

and we plummeted
toward the water below.

[SPEED grunts]

[SPEED] Twinkle, wake up.

[TWINKLE] Where are we?

[SPEED] The water under the falls.

[TWINKLE] Oh, no!

[SPEED] Don't worry--
I'll try to drive us out.

[SPEED] The currents were too strong,

and then there was
another danger.

Our oxygen supply
was almost down to zero.

[SPEED, TWINKLE grunt]

[SPEED] I was unconscious
for a few minutes

while the car rested on the bottom

in that deep swirling water.

At first, my mind was a blank

and I felt that we
didn't have a chance--

that this was the end
of the road for me.

[SPEED] But then,
I remembered hearing

of a secret cave behind the falls.

[car rumbles]

[SPEED] Whoal! It's really here!

This cave means we are saved.

Twinkle, we're going
to be all right.

[BOTH] Ah! That
Oxygen feels good!

BOTH gasp)

Totem poles!

Built by Indians hundreds
of years in the past.

Those are fabulous
pieces of primitive art!

[gasps]

Twinkle, speak to me.
Have you been hurt?

Oh, no. I'm okay.

[SPEED grunts] We'll have to
be more careful in here

from now on.

[CORNPONE laughs]

BOTH gasp)

[TWINKLE] Mr. Brotch!

So you've made it
to safety, after all.

You're very lucky,
and so is your boyfriend.

But, I'm the luckiest one of all!

Because, while the police
and everybody else were watching

your show on the tightropes,

I was able to get my
hands on that fabulous

Indian secret treasure.

You deceived us, Mr. Brotch;
where's my father?

Never mind where he is.

He found out too much
about my operation,

sol can't let him talk,

and that goes for
the both of you, too!

You won't get away with it, Brotch,

I'm gonna make sure of that!

Don't try anything.

You don't scare me, kid.

I'm too powerful
for you to stop me.

[radio chirps]

What is it?

[GOON 1] The police are
on the way to investigate

the cars that just fell.

They're liable to find
the secret entrance!

You know what to do
with it! Blow it up!

[GOON 1] Blow it up?!

What's the matter with your ears?

Blow it up, I said!

But if the secret
entrance is blown up,

how will we get outta here?

We'll be trapped in the
secret cave forever!

[GOON 3] You heard the order,
follow it!

Don't worry about gettin' out.

I found another entrance
on this secret map.

It'll lead us up a
secret passageway

that opens above ground.

It'll be easier gettin' out,
then it was gettin' in.

O-kay.

Sure.

[SPEED] Hey!

[TWINKLE] Oh, no!

Hold it right there.

[SPEED] Oh, no, you don't!

[GOON 2 grunts]

[GOON 2] Okay, kid!

[SPEED, GOON 2 grunting]

[SPEED gasps]

Stay right where you are.

Tie 'em up!

[ALL grunting]

If you should manage
to untie yourselves,

you'll never find your
way out because there are

hundreds of passages down here

and only my map tells
which one is the right one.

[CORNPONE laughs]

Nice car you got. I'm gonna
add it to my collection.

Goodbye, kids. Have fun!

[SPEED gasps]

[TRIXIE] Oh... I have an idea!

Maybe we can contact
Speed by radio.

[SPARKY] Huh? Where's the radio?

[TRIXIE] Excuse me, officer,

but may I use the radio
in your helicopter?

[COP 1] Why sure, miss, it's uh,
right over there. Come on.

[TRIXIE] Thanks!

[BOTH] Ah-ha!

[TRIXIE] I hope I can find
the Mach 5's frequency.

The Mach 5 can receive underwater?
That's fantastic!

[TRIXIE] Calling the Mach 5.

[CORNPONE] This is the Mach 5.
Whad'ya want?

Tell me. Who's this?
Where's Speed Racer?

[CORNPONE] Oh, you mean the kid
who's with Twinkle Banks, huh?

[gasps]

[CORNPONE] Never mind where he is.

You better forget about both of them.
Because where they are,

nobody's ever gonna
see 'em ever again.

[CORNPONE laughs]

[ALL gasp]

[BOTH grunting]

When I was in the circus,

I practiced being an escape artist.

You did?

I'm glad I remembered.

I never thought it would come
in so handy. Now I'll untie you.

Hurry.

Now, how are we going to
get out of here, Speed?

Without a map, we'll never find the way.

We'll follow the tire
marks of the Mach 5!

[sighs]

[SPEED] I'll use this
flint to light a torch.

[SPEED] Okay, Twinkle.
Follow me!

[TWINKLE] Look,
tire marks!

[SPEED] Good.
They'll lead us out.

[CORNPONE] So far, so good.

Accordin' to the map,
I should take the next right.

[TRIXIE] Oh, now I get it!

While you had that
poor girl, Twinkle,

risking her life
over the falls,

you sneaked into the secret
cave and stole the treasure!

[CORNPONE] Ha, ha. You got
to admit, the job was clever.

If I were you, I wouldn't brag.
I'd be ashamed.

Hey! There's the Mach 5!

After it, Trixie. We've got
to try to catch the car.

First, we've got to find Speed.

He must be underground somewhere.

--[SPRITLE shouts] --[SPEED gasps]

Speed!

--Hi, Trixie --[TWINKLE] Hi.

I'm glad your safe, Speed.

We thought you were a
goner when you crashed.

Well everything's okay now,
except for one thing.

The Mach 5 was driven outta here.

We saw it from the helicopter!

CI mo nl!

[helicopter whirs]

There's the Mach 5
down there, Speed!

Stay up this high.
We don't wanna be seen.

Why not?

Brotch is a very clever man.

He's committed robberies
all over the country

and the police haven't been
able to catch him.

So, maybe this way, we can
find out where his hideout is

and report it to the police!

So we'll follow him, right?

[SPEED] Right.

Huh?

Judging from his direction,

he'll be entering
the Dakotas soon.

And that must mean his
hideout's somewhere

up in the Black Hills
of South Dakota!

They disappeared! There's
no sign of them anywhere!

They must be around
here somewhere.

Let's go down and see if
we can find 'em, Trixie.

[SPEED] Wow!

There must be a secret
entrance somewhere,

but I can't find it.

It could be one of
these rocks. Huh?!

[gasps]

[ALL gasp]

Something's up there and we've
got to find out what it is.

[SPEED] I'll try to run this rope

to the eye of the stone face,

but ll don't knhow if
ll can climb it. Huh?!

[CHIM CHIM gibbers]

[SPEED gasps]

[SPEED grunting]

[sighs]

[TRIXIE grunts]

I'm an expert at most
kinds of sports,

but rock climbing
is the one thing

I'm definitely not good at!

Me neither; you go ahead.

[SPEED] Huh? Wha-- Okay.
We'll see you later.

[SPEED grunts]

[TWINKLE] ll wonder
where my father is.

[SPEED] They might be keeping
him behind one of those doors.

[SPEED] What a fabulous
collection of art!

I feel as if we're in a famous museum!

BOTH gasp)

[TWINKLE] They look real!

[SPEED] They might be real!

[TWINKLE] It's overwhelming.

[SPEED] It's also
very suspicious.

Let's look further. C'mon!

Speed!

[gasps]

[SPEED] A tremendous
collection of cars!

Oh, look! There's the Mach 5!

[SPEED gasps]

[SPEED grunts]

[CORNPONE] I'm surprised
you managed to escape

from the cave beneath the falls!

You won't be able to get
rid of us so easily.

By the way, are those cars real?

I'll bet every one of them is stolen.

[CORNPONE] I stole everything
in the whole place!

But those pieces of art
belong to all mankind!

You can't keep them locked up here.

You must give back
all of them.

[CORNPONE] Whad'ya think
I am, generous?

What's mine is mine forever!

And now, let me
welcome you kids!

[grunts]

[growls]

[gasps]

[roars]

[SPEED gasps]

Don't make a move and stay
close to me, Twinkle.

[chuckles]

[grunts]

[snarls]

BOTH gasp]

--[PANTHERS snarl]
--[SPEED grunts]

[gasps]

[roars]

[TWINKLE whimpers]

[TWINKLE screams]

[gasps]

[growls]

[TRIXIE grunts]

[SPRITLE grunts]

[TRIXIE] Now we'll have
to be very careful, Spritle.

Who know what we'll
run into down here.

[SPRITLE] Don't worry, Trixie.
You're with me! Let's go!

BOTH gasp)

[TRIXE, SPRITLE] Chim Chim!

What are you doing here?!

[CHIM CHIM gibbers]

Huh? Y'mean Speed's in trouble?!

The Mach 5!

[growls]

[gasps]

[chuckles]

[gasps]

--[PANTHER growls]
--[TWINKLE gasps]

--[roars] --[TWINKLE screams]

[gasps]

[roars]

[SPEED] Go away!

Speed!

Move over, Trixie! Hang on!

[growls]

[TWINKLE] Speed! Help me!

[SPEED] Twinkle, let go!

[TWINKLE grunts]

[roars]

[gasps]

[snarls]

[growls]

[TWINKLE] Look out, Speed!

[tires screech]

[SPEED] We can't get out!

There's a button on the wall.
I think it'll open the door.

[growls]

[horn blares]

[snarls]

[PANTHER growls]

[SPRITLE gasps]

[gasps]

[TWINKLE] Sleeping gas!

We don't have any more oxygen left.

We used it all up under the falls.

Oh, no!

The panthers will be taking
a nap for at least an hour.

That'll give us a chance to
get away before they wake up!

[SPEED] Right, Spritle.

Now I can get out of the
car and push that button!

[SPEED grunts]

They're waking up already!

[gasps]

[TRIXIE] Quick, get in!

[PANTHER whimpers]

[SPRITLE] No biting!
Have a candy!

Isn't that delicious?

[SPRITLE] And one for you!

[CHIM CHIM gibbers]

[PANTHERS growling]

[GOONS yell]

Stop that car!
Don't let 'em get away!

Think of the car
as a juicy steak!

[growls]

[yells]

[SPRITLE pants]

Ha! Well it serves them right!

[breaks squeal]

[TWINKLE'S DAD]
No! No, stay there!

[gasps]

[TWINKLE] Daddy!

Stay right where you are or
that lion'll have supper early!

All I have to do
is pull this lever

and the lion'll get
into your father's cage.

[ALL gasp]

Maybe I'll pull
this lever anyway!

[chuckles]

[shouts]

[growls]

[gasping]

[screams]

[roars]

[whimpers]

Face 'im, Daddy!
You mustn't be afraid!

[roars]

[TWINKLE'S DAD grunts]

[yells]

Don't panic. You mustn't let
him know you're afraid of him!

[gasps]

[roars]

[yells]

You're not really
afraid of him, are you?

You always said a wild animal
can tell when someone's afraid.

Well, you mustn't be afraid of him.

Daddy. Don't you remember how
you used to train wild animals?

They quiet down if they
think you're stronger!

[roars]

Daddy. Don't you remember when
you were more than just a clown?

You were the best animal
trainer in the world!

[TWINKLE'S DAD] Hmm...

[TWINKLE'S DAD] She's right.
ll was good and I was famous.

Wherever I went, thousands cheered me.
I was the greatest!

I've always loved animals,
and no matter how wild they are,

they always know it.
Why should I be afraid of this lion?

He'll know I'm his friend
and I'm not gonna hurt him.

[grunts]

[roars]

[TWINKLE'S DAD grunts]

Get up!

[roars]

[growls]

[pants]

[TWINKLE] Daddy!

Daddy.

Don't worry, Twinkle.
Now I'm not afraid of anything.

We'll have a big circus
like we used to.

With lots of wild animals
like that lion.

I'm glad.

[CORNPONE] You've won!
You've beaten me this time!

BOTH gasp)

But I don't wanna go to jail
for the rest of my life,

so you'll give me no choice but--

[SPRITLE shouts]

Here comes Spritle!

[yells]

Look! For a fat man,
he certainly can move fast.

[CHIM CHIM gibbers]

The panther told Chim Chim
that they'll always be friendly to us

for helping them get away
from Mr. Brotch.

Oh! I'll bet they'll join
the new Universal Circus!

[ALL laugh]

The works of art
have been returned

and Mr. Brotch is in
jail where he belongs.

And Twinkle's doing
the trick once more

so people will learn
about the circus.

It's too bad Speed
missed the Nitona race,

but what he did instead

was a far, far
better thing, right?

Right, Sparky.
But where's Speed now?

Huh, huh, huh?

Search me! Uh-oh, it's gettin'
pretty windy up there again.

BOTH gasp)

ll didn't know her father was
going to be in the act, too,

but I'm glad he's
up there to help.

[SPARKY] Hm.

[TWINKLE'S DAD] I'm not
up there. I'm over here.

[SPARKY] Huh?!

[chuckles]

[gasps]

[CROWD cheers]

[SPEED grunts, chuckles]

Why, that's Speed up
there dressed like a clown.

He looks very funny.

[laughs]

[NARRATOR] Speed has
saved Twinkle, her father,

and the Universal Circus,
which will play on forever.
