(male narrator)Built on a rockin the middle of the ocean

is the maximum security prisonknown as Rebel's Island.

From here no onehas ever escaped.

And this is cell block 13

where the famous underworldleader, Big Fats Dynamo

has just been brought in.

Hey, Big Fats, now why it is
that you gave yourself up?

So that you can be
the first con

to break out
of Rebel's Island.

Youse guys heard right.

Gee, Big Fats,
can we go with you?

Sure, be my guest.



creak

- Thanks, Big Fats.
- Youse is a gentleman.

[alarm blaring]

There they are, they're
crashing through the gate

on a laundry truck.

I used the laundry truck
so as we could make

a clean getaway.
Ha ha ha.

I hate to do this to Big Fats,
but he leaves me no choice.

Send for Atom Ant!

(male narrator)And so the call goes out.

The signal reachesthe secret headquarters

of that mighty might,that superhuman, Atom Ant.

Here deep in his undergroundlaboratory we find

our heroic defender of justicebusy at work.

[chuckling]

Boy, I love to keep busy
reading comic books.

Oh-oh, I'm picking up
a distress signal

on my ant antenna.

(Warden)
'Rebel's Island
calling Atom Ant.'

'Big Fats Dynamo,
world's most wanted criminal'

'just broke out,
need your help, the warden.'

Keep your head on, warden.

Atom Ant is up and at 'em.

swoosh

There they are, Melvin.
We got 'em, we got 'em.

Relax, youse guys,
I'll take care of them guys.

Alright, Big Fats, give me back
our laundry truck.

You mean, you want me
to come clean. Ha ha ha.

crash

No one can stop
Big Fats except..

Who else, but me.

It's Atom Ant.

You guys take a coffee break,
I'll handle this.

Tell the warden
I said,aloha. Ha ha ha.

thud

Hey, who tripped me?

Not me, Fats.

I wouldn't do
a thing like that.

Me neither,
you must have tripped over

that itty-bitty ant.

Correct.

You were
tripped up by me, Atom Ant.

Ha ha ha! That's a hot one.

An itty-bitty ant tripping
Big Fats Dynamo.

I'm gonna squish him
with my thumb, I am.

Hey, what's going on?

Do you surrender, Mr. Dynamo?

Surrender, are you kiddin'?

thump thump thump

Gosh, Big Fats got his lumps

from an itty-bitty ant.

I can't believe it.

I don't believe it.

No itty-bitty ant
can treat Big Fats Dynamo

'like that and get away
with it.'

I'll haul off and squish him
good with this hammer.

Hold still, Atom Ant.

This is the moment
of truth.

I got him. I got him.

Boy, I mashed him
to a mish.

I'm afraid I'm going to have
to hammer a little sense

into his hard head.

I did it with my own

little atom smasher. Ha ha ha.

What the..

[grunting]

Well, Mr. Fats.

I hope I hammered
the message home.

What are you gonna
do now, Big Fats?

That ant boxed me.

So I'm gonna get a can
of anti-ant repellent.

And spray that bug
right out of this world.

Gee, I don't know.

I think Atom Ant has put
Big Fats fat into the fire.

So long, wise guy.

You are about
to get asphyxiated.

In goes the good air..

...out goes the bad.

[coughing]

Ha ha ha. This ten ton
steam roller's

gonna flatten that insect.

Looks like I'm gonna
have to start

playing rough with Big Fats.

whirr whirr whirr

boom

Now, cut that out,
I demand.

Give me back my wheel.

Very well, if you insist.

Every time I open
my big mouth

I put my foot in it.

Are you guys gonna
just stand there

and watch a guy
get swished?

No, Big Fats.

We're gonna close
our eyes.

(Big Fats)
'Yeow!'

I'm sick and tired
of being a nice guy.

From now on, I'm going
to get nasty.

What do you say, Fats?

Maybe we ought to
give ourselves up, huh?

I ought to wash
your mouth out

with soap for saying
such a nasty thing.

This world ain't big enough
for me and that Atom Ant.

I'm gonna challenge him
to a showdown.

Okay, Mr. Dynamo.

I accept your challenge.

Show me down.

I'm giving you two minutes
to get out of town.

Pardon me for being nosy.

Hold it, Atom Ant.

That's stretching things
a little too far.

slap

How'd you like a rap

on the schnozzle, like this.

Well, that about wraps up
the case of Big Fats.

Gosh, Fats,
you look kind of funny.

Are you alright?

Of course,
I'm al...right.

That does it.

We give up, Mr. Atom Ant.

You're just too much.

(male #1)
'Take us back to prison'

'where it's safe.'

My pleasure, gentlemen.

Thanks to you, Atom Ant

Big Fats will never be
a prison dropout again.

What do you mean?

(warden)
Anytime he gets unruly
we put an ant in his cell.

There isn't an ant
in the place

that can't whip Big Fats now.
Look for yourself.

Help! Get him outta here!

Help! Help!

Come on down and fight, Fatso.

You ain't so tough.

Go pick on somebody
your own size.

Aah!

I get the picture, warden.

You might say it took an ant

to make Big Fats
say uncle. Hee hee hee.

Well, goodbye, warden.

So long, Atom Ant.

U-u-up and at 'em!

thud

I sure wish he'd use the door

like everybody else.

Just an average day in
the life of up and at 'em

Atom Ant!
