[buzzing]
It says "Help."
Someone is dire need
of my talents
as an indomitable
champion of justice.
Atom Ant here
at your service.
This is the police chief
and boy, do I have a problem.
(Atom)
'Yes, chief, what is it?'
Some diabolical crook
stole the police building.
Lock, stock and jail cell.
Talk about embarrassing.
Chief, don't let anyone in
till I catch the thief.
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
whoosh
Now, there is a suspicious
looking sight.
'A helicopter with
a giant magnet'
'hovering over City Hall.'
[helicopter whirring]
Good grief!
First the police building
now City Hall.
It must be stopped.
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
whoosh
[engine sputtering]
Hey, what's holding me back?
Why, it is that evil doer
of dastardly deeds
the Toadstool.
Why, it's that indomitable
champion of justice, Atom Ant.
Yes, does that name
strike a note of terror
in your dastardly heart?
No, because nothing's
gonna stop me
from having my own city
on the moon.
(Atom)
Well, you are not taking
City Hall to the moon
old baddie boy.
My poisonous mushroom ray gun
says I am.
[zapping]
Stunned by the ray gun
Atom Ant plummets a 1000 milestoward Earth.
But thanks to hisstrong healthy body
he recovers just in timeand heads straight
for his secret laboratory
where undaunted,he stores up new energy.
One-tow, one-two, one-two,
one-two, one-two!
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
whoosh
Up goes Atom Ant
up into outer space.
1000, 5000, 10,000 miles
in hot pursuit of thevillainous Toadstool
who is on his wayto the moon.
I will climb up
and surprise him.
Surprise!
Well, what do you know?
It's an outer space fly.
Wrong, it is I, Atom Ant.
Be wise and give yourself up.
(Toadstool)
Why, you little show off.
I cancrush you
with my bare hand.
I...don't...think so.
Hey, uh, careful now..
Ow! Ooh-oh, that's smarts.
Oww!
[thudding]
Help!
crash
Happy landing!
I'll get you for this,
Atom Ant.
A worthy ambition
but you don't have a chance.
He's gone.
Where did he go?
On my way back to the moon.
And my super stick
gum-wad gun
says you are not
coming with me.
sploosh
You fiend!
splat
'Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!'
[footsteps]
[instrumental music]
squelch
'If at first you don't succeed'
'up and at 'em, Atom Ant!'
[creaking]
sploosh
I better not take
any chances.
I'll just forget City Hall
for now.
snap
'Goodbye, Atom Ant.'
(male narrator)And so once again
Atom Ant plummets Earth-ward
hopelessly trapped.
(Atom)
Well, there is life,
there is hope.
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
[creaking]
pop
Good grief!
City hall is going to crash.
Atom Ant to the rescue.
Just in time
the City Hall is saved.
[crowd cheering]
thump
But will Atom Ant be ableto save the police building?
I'm going to need
lots of energy.
One-two, one-two, one-two,
one-two, one-two!
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
whoosh
(male narrator)Up, up, ever upwardgoes Atom Ant.
I just gotta sudden chill
as though Atom Ant was back.
(Atom)
I am back. I'm giving you
one last chance to give up.
You gotta admit, he's pretty
feisty for a little guy.
But a few blasts
from my comet gun
will frazzle his feisty.
zap zap zap
Easy comin', easy go.
[chuckles]
Uh-oh, he's beaten me
to the moon.
(Atom )
Oh, yes, I must
pick up a building.
He's got the police building
that I stole this morning.
Drop that building,
you little crook, it's mine.
Then you shall have it.
(Toadstool)
'Oh, no!'
crash
clang
Toadstool, now do you give up?
Who wouldn't with the whole
police building on his back?
Uh, yes, Atom Ant.
I personally gave
the Toadstool
'that toad you sent him
to keep him company'
'while in solitary.'
Atom Ant is all heart,
right, Toady?
[croaking]
I always try to temper justice
with mercy when I..
