- [Announcer] Marineville, I
am calling Battle Stations!

- Anything can happen
in the next half hour.

- The Shenandoah proceeding
at 25 knots, commander.

All okay.

- It needs to be, lieutenant,
if anything happens

to that ship before it
reaches port at midnight,

we could be in real trouble.

- Why sir?

She's miles from the coast.

- If you spent less time
play acting, you'd realize

that she's going through
the north Pacific current.



And that means if her cargo
is exposed in the sea,

the radiation will be carried
right to our doorstep.

- Gee, that's serious.

- You bet it is, Fisher.

And take that stupid
disguise off your face.

- But sir, this is for Atlanta's
fancy dress party tonight.

I, I thought it looked good.

- The only way you
could look good

is to get a complete new face.

I don't know why Atlanta
had to make it

a fancy dress party anyway.

- Why I guess it'll
be sorta fun.

- Fun, we're here to work,
not to dress up like clowns.

Half the people in Marineville
look stupid enough as it is

without putting on costumes.

[light, whimsical music]

- Gee, I hope this is going
to be all right for tonight.

I wonder what the others
are going to wear.

[light, whimsical music]

- Hello, is that you, Troy?

- Yeah, I've just been out
to buy a present for Atlanta.

They're delivering it later.

- It's not her birthday, is it?

- No but we may have to
miss the party tonight.

I'm sorry, Phones, but
Commander Shore

has put us on 12 hour
standby in case anything

goes wrong with the Shenandoah.

- Yeah but we just
come off duty.

- Yeah, I know but, that's
the service for you.

- What time is the
Shenandoah due in port?

- Midnight, if we don't
hear anything

before then, we're okay.

But, we better get across
and explain to Atlanta,

just in case we are called out.

- I'll get outta this
gear and come with you.

- Say, have you figured
how you're gonna dance

in that heap of scrap?

- Say, that's a point, I
hadn't thought about that.

How 'bout you, Troy, what
costume are you gonna wear?

If we go, that is.

- You'll see tonight, now
hurry it along,

Commander Shore's
ordered me to rest up

for a few hours in case
we're called out.

- Well why do they have to move

those isotopes today
of all days?

The party won't be the
same without you boys.

- Oh maybe we'll make
it later on, Atlanta,

if the Shenandoah doesn't
hit a rock or decide to sink.

- And chances of that
happenin' are pretty remote so

let's hope we do make it.

- Well if you do um, what
are you coming as, Troy?

- Oh he's keeping it
a big secret.

- Yeah, you wait and see.

And watch out for Phones
tonight, his armor-plated

boots'll crush your toes.

- I think I'll scrap that idea.

I'll maybe get somethin'
more original.

- Well folks, orders are orders.

Time for bed, see you all later,
I hope.

- So long Troy, sleep well.

- So long.

[door clicking shut]

- Well, I sure want you
boys to come to the party,

so let's hope nothing
happens to the Shenandoah.

[bold, adventurous music]

[suspenseful music]

[adventurous music]

- Shenandoah on course,
all okay.

Say, you asked me to
remind you to phone--

- To remind me to phone.

- Captain Tempest, sir.

- Yeah, yeah, Captain Tempest.

[laughing] Mustn't let
Atlanta down, eh?

[light, bouncy music]

Just thought I'd make
sure you were

gonna get some sleep, Troy.

- Yeah commander, I was
just about to.

Say, looks like you're all ready

for the fancy dress party then.

- Yeah, stupid isn't it?

How do I get roped into
these things?

Now to get back to business,

remember I want you
alert tonight.

- Yes sir.

[video phone beeping]

Gee, now I've seen everything.

You sure are a cute
little fella.

Atlanta's gonna be
thrilled with you.

Well, I guess that takes care
of the problem if I can't go.

But if I can, I've gotta
think up somethin' to wear.

I've gotta get somethin'
original.

Ah, maybe that pictorial history
book'll give me some ideas.

Now where is it?

Yeah, I should get some
original ideas from here.

- Somethin' original,
that's what I want.

After all there's nothing very
clever about a suit of armor.

- I'm sure whatever you wear
Phones, you'll look great.

Oh there, I guess those
disk'll be fine for tonight.

Phones, have you got any idea
what Troy is going to wear?

- No Atlanta, he's sure
keeping it a secret.

[mysterious music]

[harp music]

[clunking]

[rapid drumming]

- [Announcer] Attention,
attention, Captain Tempest

report to tower immediately.

- The Shenandoah is breaking up,
sir.

- The whole ocean to
sail through

and she has to hit some rocks.

[dramatic music]

- Now take one of these,
and keep the rest.

They'll help again
radiation sickness.

- What's the Geiger
counter rating, sir?

- We don't know Troy.

Could be the missing
container is still closed

but don't take any chances.

You're dealing with EM-27
captain, and that means

if radiation hits you,
results are almost immediate.

- Yes sir, I understand.

Come on Phones, let's go.

[bold, adventurous music]

- The radiation's above
normal Troy, but not too high.

- Well, that's means
there's every chance

that the isotope container
hasn't been damaged.

- Now all we gotta
do is find it.

[clicking]

- Got something?

Can you get a fix on
its position?

- Nothing could be easier.

[sonar beeping]

Should be in sight
any second now.

[sonar beeping]

There it is.

- Yeah, but look over there.

[dramatic music]

- Well, they look like caveman.

- They must be a
primitive underwater race.

They found the isotope, they
can't possible understand

the dangers, if they open
that case, they're done for.

- We gotta scare 'em off.

- I'll turn on the searchlight,
maybe that'll do it.

- Look, they're
picking up the box.

- And there making for the
tunnel, come on Phones,

the underwater gear,
we've gotta get after 'em.

[adventurous music]

- [Phones] They could
be waitin' for us, Troy,

we don't wanna run
into an ambush.

- [Troy] We'll have
to risk that,

we've gotta get that isotope.

They must move like lightening.

- [Phones] They didn't
look very agile.

[adventurous music]

- [Troy] Okay Phones,
this could be it.

- [Phones] Ready, skipper.

[slow, somber music]

A subterranean cavern.

- [Troy] Take it easy Phones,

they're on home ground,
we're not.

Dive, Phones.

[dramatic music]

A primitive form of a
death charge.

- [Phones] Yeah, but at
least they don't explode.

What do we do now?

- [Troy] Well, if we stay
down here long enough,

they'll think they've
scared us off.

- Men from iron fish have
gone, they will not return.

- Good work, now let us
look at our treasure.

- It's gone quiet, let's
chance another look.

[harp music]

[cavemen chanting]

Yeah, they're in that
cave over there.

[chanting]

If there's any trouble,
fire over their heads.

We don't wanna hurt 'em
unless we have to.

[chanting]

Let's move in quickly
and surprise 'em

before they get a
chance to open it.

[dramatic music]

[chanting]

Phones, you okay?

- I guess so, Troy, a little
bruised but no bones broken.

- They're smarter
than they look.

- We've fallen clean
into their trap.

- They don't want us to
take that box away from 'em,

that's for sure.

- I guess they think they've
found some sort of treasure.

- Yeah, but they'll find
out they've got a killer

in their midst instead
if they open it.

And now, there's nothing
we can do to stop 'em.

[dramatic music]

Somehow we've gotta get
out of this trap.

Give me a hand Phones, I'm
gonna try and scale this wall.

- Right.

[mysterious harp music]

[slow, solemn orchestral music]

- Close that case, or
you'll all die.

Don't kill us, we're your only
hope, don't you understand?

No, you don't understand.

[dramatic music]

- Troy, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay, but
it's no good,

I can't make 'em understand.

They've opened the isotope case.

[tense music]

[dramatic music]

[groaning]

- No!

- He's dying, strangers
evil, they bring death.

They must die too.

Come.

- This is it, Phones,

If only we could prove to
them we're here to help them.

- Don't look now, but
we got company.

- Now, you die, we seek revenge!

- But the old man isn't
dead, and we can save him.

Him and you, if you'll let us.

- We kill them now.

- Wait, how do you help?

- We have magic food, it
will cure the sickness.

Get us out of here and
we'll show you.

- It may be trick.

- We try, if it fail, we kill.

- You can trust me, but
hurry, before it's too late.

- It worked, Troy.

- Let's hope the tablets do.

Come on Phones, there's
not much time.

[groaning]

Here, take magic food.

Now, I must shut out evil rays.

It will take a little
time for the magic to act.

- We will give you four
spears and then you die.

- Against wall, quick.

- What do they mean, Troy?

- Sounds like they're
giving us a time limit.

- If old man not well in
four spears, then you die.

- Hey, what kind of
games are they playing?

- Well, I guess if the
old man hasn't recovered

by the time they throw
three spears,

the fourth one if for us.

[tense music]

I was right, they're
gettin' closer each time.

- Couldn't we make a
break for it?

- Ah, no good, they'd get
us before we moved an inch.

They're pretty hot in
their spear throwing.

- Watch out, here we go again.

[tense music]

- If only he'd show
some sign of life.

- Come on there, let's
see some action.

[tense music]

- Well, nice knowin' you,
Phones,

- Well, if I gotta die,
I'd rather die fightin'.

How 'bout it, skipper?

- Okay, when I give the word,
let's make a break for it.

[dramatic music]

[thudding]
[old man groaning]

[groaning] The old man is okay.

Say, wh-what am I talkin'
about, what old man?

Hey, I musta been dreaming.

[laughing] There's no old man,
no cavemen.

It musta been that book.

Say, it's dark outside, how
long have I been asleep?

10 o'clock!

[video phone beeping]

- Troy.

- Yes, commander.

- You'll be glad to hear
you won't be needed.

I've already told Phones,
the Shenandoah

reached port ahead of schedule.

- Does that mean
we're off standby?

- That's right, Troy,
better get into your costume

and get along to Atlanta's
fancy dress party.

It'll be starting soon.

- I sure will.

Say, by the way commander,

what did you finally
decide to wear?

- Top secret, top secret.

[video phone beeping]

- Yeah, so is mine.

It's so top secret that I
don't even know it myself.

[man laughing distantly]

[light, upbeat music]

[nonsensical caveman ramblings]

Well, aren't you surprised?

Well what do you think of
the getup, isn't it original?

- [laughing] Original,
I think it's incredible.

- Well, I don't know
about incredible.

It's just something I dreamed
up at the last moment.

- Oh, it sure was the last
moment, everybody else is here.

Come on in, Troy.

[people talking and laughing]

[upbeat, whimsical music]

- Uh, hi there, Captain Tempest,
sir.

[upbeat, whimsical music]

- H-h-h-hi Troy, I, I guess
great minds think alike.

- Come in, Troy, you may
as well join the club.
