Well, Muscles,
now that you're out of jail
you wanna get even
with Atom Ant, right?
Right, boss, but how?
That Atom Ant is dynamite.
[laughs]
I'll show you when we get
to the secret hideout.
Okay, boss.
Gee, I can hardly wait
for the surprise.
Well, here we are already
at the secret hideout.
Okay, boss, what's the plan
you got in mind?
You know we could control
the whole city
if it weren't
for Atom Ant, right?
Yeah, that's right.
Atom Ant is finished when
I release what's in this box.
What's in the box?
What's in the box?
It is our secret weapon
to do away with Atom Ant.
Take a look.
Haso, uh, noble gentlemen.
(Muscles)
'An oriental ant?'
Ah, meet Mr. Muto.
He's a karate expert.
- Him? A karate expert?
- What's so funny, Muscles?
[chuckles]
If we can't beat Atom Ant
what's a little old
ordinary ant gonna do?
Alright, Muscles,
we put the little
old, ordinary ant
on the floor.
Now let's see you try
to put him out of action.
[laughing]
That's easy, boss.
Ha ha. You missed, Muscles.
[laughs]
Alright, Mr. Muto.
Let's see what
you can do to Muscles.
Haso, haso!
[laughs]
- Ha!
- Yow!
[laughs]
No little old ant
can do that to me
and get away with it.
Take that and that and that!
Giving karate chop. Chop.
- Ha!
- 'Yow!'

(Muto)
Now giving Judo flip. Ha!
[chuckles]
Now giving Sumo lesson. Ha!
grunt
Now American style. Ha!
Hey, hey, stop it!
(Muscles)
Uh, no, uh, uh, put me down.
[grunts]
'Put me down!'
(Muto)
'Ha!'
crash
Yes, Mr. Muto. That's enough.
I guess Muscles
is convinced now.
Haso, haso. Sayonara!
Yeah, I see
what you mean, boss.
That's not all,
I've got him trained
to hate even the mention
of Atom Ant.
(Muto)
Atom Ant, Atom Ant!
[grunting]
Ha! Chop, chop. Ha!
[grunting]
How about that, Muscles?
Even Atom Ant wouldn't
have a chance with Mr. Muto.
But how can we get Atom
tangle with Mr. Muto, boss?
Atom Ant will be
snooping around here
the minute he reads
about you leaving jail.
Then he gets it. Get it?
[both laughing]
[Atom Ant humming]
Hmm, what's this?
I see where Muscles got out
of the big house today.
I think I better check on him
and warn him to go straight.

'Aah! The secret hideout.'
Atom Ant's coming.
- The door is opening.
- Shh, quiet.
(Atom Ant)
Anybody here?
[echoes]
Anybody here? Anybody here?
-Haso, haso.
- An ant from the Orient.
- Well, hello.
- Our noble guest, hello there.
Wait till Mr. Muto finds out
he's talking to Atom Ant.
[laughing]
- What's your name?
- Oh, Mr. Muto.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Muto.
My name is Atom Ant.
Atom Ant? Atom Ant!
grunt
Me chop Atom Ant.
Chop, chop, chop.
- Hmm!
- Oh, no, you don't.
[chuckles]
A lucky punch?
bam
[laughing]
Mr. Muto missed him, boss.
Don't worry,
he's just getting started.
Okay, Mr. Muto.
You asked for it.
Haso.
crash
Go get him, Mr. Muto.
- Go get him.
- There he goes, boss.
[Muto laughing]
crash
He missed him again, boss.
Watch out, Mr. Muto.
Watch out.
Haso, haso.
Uh-oh, now he's gonna
give it to him.
Yes, he was just
playing with him.
Chop, chop, Atom Ant.
- You wouldn't dare.
- Ha!
bam
Atom Ant, you can take it.
You are good guy.
You're not bad yourself,
Mr. Muto.
So why are we fighting?
They say Atom Ant bad guy.
- But not so.
- They are the bad guys.
(Muto)
'Me, Mr. Muto,
will teach them a lesson.'
Now he's coming after us, boss.
Haso, haso! Teaching lesson.
Come on, Muscles.
Out the back way.
(Muto)
'Chop, chop, bad guys.
I'm teaching lesson. Ha!'
If Mr. Muto is going to teach
those two a lesson
he has to catch them first.
[gasps]
Faster, faster.
He's gaining on us.
I can't run any faster, boss.
'No! Oh, no! No!'
- 'Put me down!'
- 'Ha!'
- 'Chop!'
- 'Stop it'
- 'Ha!'
- 'Aye, come on!'
- 'No, no, not again!'
- 'Chop!'
(Muscles)
'Oh!'
Sounds like the lessons
have begun.
Well, as long as
I have an assistant
that's so dependable,
I might as well go home.
