[triumphant music]
- That film gave you some
idea of the excitement
created earlier today
by the presentation made
to Captain Troy Tempest,
Aquanaut of the Year.
Tonight at Marineville,
Captain Troy Tempest
threw a party to celebrate
and boy what a party
that must have been.
[peaceful music]
[snoring]
[alarm ringing]
[grunting]
- Oh boy.
Oh what a party.
Boy, what a head.
And now for some sleep.
Be sure you're up early.
Surprise, surprise, Atlanta.
Oh no.
- Do I have to say it again?
Just coffee.
Why we have to get up at this
early hour I'll never know.
- Do I have to say it
again father?
The TV company made a
special point
of getting me to make
sure we were all up early.
- What are they gonna do?
- I don't know.
Maybe they want to talk
about making a documentary
on Marineville or something.
- Yeah, yeah, switch on
the TV anyway.
Let's see the news.
- Boy, what a mess.
[dinging]
Who can that be?
Sure hope it's Atlanta, I
could do with some help.
Maybe she'll tell me
why I had to get up in
the middle of the night.
Surprise, surprise.
- Captain Troy Tempest
of the World Aquanaut
Security Patrol, this
is your life.
And yours, the program
has been one of the most
carefully guarded
secrets of all time.
- You can say that again.
- And now if we can come in,
Troy,
we can start the show.
- Come in?
Well it's kinda difficult.
There was a party and boy,
what a mess.
- So that's what they're up to.
Isn't it wonderful?
Troy on television.
- It may be wonderful to
you, but I don't think
Troy's enjoying it one bit.
- Oh no, the place is
in such a mess.
I'd better get over there.
- We are now going to
show to you, the viewers,
some of the daring exploits
of Captain Troy Tempest
that led to Troy being
selected Aquanaut of the Year.
Perhaps one of his most
startling adventures began
when he was
investigating a report
that missiles that were
being fired at Marineville
originated from the area
of Ball Island.
- Hey Troy, a cave mouth.
- Yeah, it could lead us
to the base of the volcano.
Let's take a look.
[peaceful music]
- [Reporter] Stingray
surfaced in a cavern
near the base of the
volcano, but what Troy
didn't realize was that
he was walking straight
into a trap.
[dramatic music]
- Welcome to our base,
Captain Tempest.
You are beneath the
island of Ball.
- Who are you?
What do you want with us?
- All you need to know
is that we are going
to destroy Marineville and
you are going to help us.
- You're crazy.
I'll never do that.
- Ah, but you will Tempest.
[dramatic music]
- Marina.
Release her, do you hear me?
Release her.
- Shut up and listen Tempest.
I want to know on what
frequencies Marineville's
interceptors work.
- I get it, you'll jam
the interceptors
so your rockets can get through
and destroy Marineville.
- That is smart Troy Tempest.
Now give me the information
or Marina will suffer.
- No deal fella.
It's three lives
against thousands.
- Very well.
Chikara, the voltage.
[dramatic music]
So you still refuse
to cooperate?
Very well, full power,
the fatal dose.
[dramatic music]
- Okay shut if off, I'll talk.
- [Reporter] So Troy had
saved Marina's life, but now,
somehow he had to
save Marineville.
That night he broke
out of jail and started
to disarm the next rocket
that was due to be fired
the following morning.
The mighty rocket was
launched on schedule,
destination, Marineville.
The Marineville defenses were
now powerless to stop it.
But Troy's work
prevented the rocket
doing any serious damage.
A note concealed in the
nose cone was delivered
to Commander Shore, giving
him all the information
he required.
A Marineville strike force
was immediately dispatched
to attack the enemy base.
- Tiranian aircraft, we
surrender, we surrender.
Stop the attack, we surrender.
- [Reporter] But Troy's
work was not yet complete.
- Okay Phones, all missiles
red, zero, zero, seven.
- Zero, zero, seven.
[missiles exploding]
- Well that sure was a
great adventure Troy.
Now tell us, what do
you consider to be your
most difficult
experience to date?
- Without question
appearing on this program.
[laughing]
- Well Troy I'm gonna make
it even more difficult
because I'm gonna ask
you to tell the viewers
in your own words about your
most unusual experience.
- Most unusual?
Well, most of the things
that happen to us
in the WASPs are unusual.
But I remember one particular
experience that was strange.
Strange because it didn't
really happen,
yet it was so real at the time.
I was sent to investigate a
report that a jeweled forest
had been found at the
bottom of the ocean,
near to the Patroma Trench.
While I was searching,
the sea bed collapsed
and I fell into a deep
underwater cavern.
I was hurt and could hardly move
and I could feel
myself passing out.
I guess my air line
was fractured.
I thought I was dying.
Phones, I'm suffocating.
Can't breathe.
My head, it aches.
I'm finished.
Suffocating.
Gotta get air.
Gotta get air.
[dramatic music]
[peaceful music]
And then it happened.
I was able to breathe
again, even without my mask.
I felt just great.
Gee, I've never seen
plants like this.
They're beautiful.
I don't believe it,
but it's there.
The Forest of Gems.
Say, these leaves, they're
made of gold and silver.
Diamonds, rubies, emeralds,
yipee.
I must be the richest
man in the world.
I'm the richest man in
the whole wide world.
[peaceful music]
- Oh great one, do you
require anything?
- Yeah, I guess you can
peel me another grape.
Marina, play something
sweet and gentle.
[peaceful harp music]
I couldn't really
understand what had happened
but in a situation like
this, I didn't really care.
It's great being the
richest man in the world.
[dramatic music]
What's that?
[grumbling]
[bombs exploding]
My palace.
All my riches.
[bombs exploding]
[water crashing]
Phones, Marina, Atlanta,
we're doomed.
[bombs exploding]
[peaceful music]
- Take it easy Troy, relax.
- Phones, where am I?
The palace, it's crashing down.
But this is Stingray, how
did I get here?
What happened?
- You had a touch of
raptures of the deep Troy.
- What?
What are you talking about?
- Well it's true Troy.
I guess that fall into the
crevice and then your air tank
giving out sent you into
a kind of drunkenness.
- Yeah, I've heard of it.
Rapture of the deep, eh.
When I realized what
had happened,
I could hardly believe it.
- Thanks Troy, that
was just great.
Now viewers, while Troy
was telling that story
Phones, his hydra phone
operator and Marina,
the beautiful girl from
under the sea have arrived.
So now we have the entire
Stingray crew here.
Oh, and of course we
mustn't forget the man
who runs the whole show,
Commander Shore
and of course his lovely
daughter, Atalanta.
Now tell me Atlanta,
is it true that there's
a romance between you and Troy?
- Well of course we have
a lot of fun together
but I don't think Troy's
the marrying type
and anyway the call of
duty usually interrupts
any romantic notions I may have.
Like the time when Troy,
Phones, Marina, and I
were getting ready for a
holiday together.
There, we finally closed it.
It's a pity we couldn't have
taken all we wanted, Marina,
but Troy did say we're
traveling light.
- Okay Phones, let's collect
the girls and be on our way.
- Sure thing Troy.
- Troy, would you come
up to the control tower
right away?
It's pretty important.
- Okay Commander Shore.
- [Atlanta] But a few
words from father
wrecked the whole plan.
- You can say that again.
Within the hour we
were approaching
an undersea drilling base.
The scientists there had
found a new ocean
right below the existing ocean
and of course, Stingray
had to investigate.
We had no idea what we
were going to find
or what trouble we
might run into.
[suspenseful music]
Okay Phones, let's dive,
main balance a thousand.
We're going down a slope Phones,
and we're picking up speed.
- We're out of control Troy.
- And we're still going down.
Look our for those rocks.
[dramatic music]
We were all knocked
unconscious in the crash
and to this day I don't
know how long it was
before we came around.
- Oh wow, what hit us?
- I don't know, but it
had the effect
of a hurricane, or a tidal wave.
Stingray seems to be
okay though.
Let's try the motors.
[motors running]
- The water's gone.
We're beached on the ocean bed.
- But how Troy?
There were thousands of
feet of water above us.
- Not now, so let's get
out and take a look.
[suspenseful music]
I don't get this.
One moment this is an ocean
and then it becomes a desert.
Look at those rocks,
they're red hot.
- [Phones] Yeah, my
feet are sizzling.
- Say, we must be close to
the center of the earth.
What's wrong Marina?
Phones, she wants us
to listen to something.
Wait, I hear it now.
That roaring sound again.
Phones, that water's
coming back.
Come on, back to
Stingray and fast.
Run Phones, Marina, run.
[dramatic music]
Swim for it, it's our
only chance.
[dramatic music]
Hold her steady Phones.
We've gotta keep her on
an even keel.
[suspenseful music]
We had lost our position
due to the crash
and now, somehow we
had to find our way up.
Phones was taking continuous
soundings in the hope
that we might find the shaft.
- Troy, we're there.
It's an opening.
[island music]
- [Troy] It was an
opening all right.
Right in the center of
a beautiful blue lagoon.
It looked as if we were
going to have
our holiday after all.
- [Atlanta] Without
Atlanta of course.
[island music]
- Hold it.
- I don't believe it.
I just don't believe it.
- What does the card
say Atlanta?
- Wish you were here.
All my love, Troy.
Isn't that just my luck?
You see what I mean?
- Yes Atlanta, I do.
I guess that Troy really
belongs to us all
and I would like to
thank him for allowing us
to share these magic moments.
Troy Tempest,
Aquanaut of the year,
this is your life.
- Well thank you.
To me, this will always be
a great moment.
Just one think I'd like to say.
You asked Atlanta if there
was a romance between us,
well I think the moment
is right for me to say
that there...
Say, that's battle stations.
- Unidentified craft in
Marineville approaches.
Captain Troy Tempest to
report to tower immediately.
- Well I guess Atlanta's right.
There's no time for romance.
So long.
- Atlanta, I'm going
to the tower.
I want you there in
five minutes.
Phones, Marina, stand by
with Troy to launch Stingray.
Thanks for a great show but
I'm afraid whether you like it
or not, this has got
to be the end.
