The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 12 - Queen Skorra/Mission of the Amatons - full transcript
NARRATOR: Somewhere out in
space live the Herculoids.
Zok, the laser-ray dragon!
Igoo, the giant rock ape!
Tundro, the tremendous!
Gloop and Gleep,
the formless, fearless wonders.
With Zandor, their leader.
And his wife, Tara,
and son, Dorno.
They team up
to protect their planet
from sinister invaders.
All strong.
All brave. All heroes.
They're the Herculoids.
The control collars
are in place, Amak.
Excellent. Now move aside.
I'm going to test
their obedience.
AMAK:
This is your master.
Destroy the rocks.
Soon, all the animals
will be in my control.
Including the most
powerful of all.
The Herculoids!
Zandor! We can't
get across the river.
Igoo, make a bridge for them.
Thanks, Igoo.
ZANDOR:
It's the Amatons.
I wonder what they're up to.
We are in luck.
The Herculoids are just ahead.
In a moment, they too
will be in our power.
They're attacking.
Dorno, Tara, take cover.
Zok, hold your fire.
They're too close to Tundro.
Gleep, quick.
A towline.
Let's give them a ride
they'll never forget.
Now, for the return trip.
I see the Herculoids
are not easy to capture.
But Amak is patient.
And we will have them.
Look, Zandor.
They're leaving.
No, Dorno.
They're landing in the forest.
- Then, they'll be back.
ZANDOR: Yes.
But we're not waiting.
This time,
we'll pay them a visit.
Someone approaches, Amak.
The Herculoids.
Let us turn the beasts
we control upon them.
This time, they shall
be captured or perish!
There's Amak's
craft, Zandor.
I don't like it.
Things are too quiet.
It's a trap.
That takes care of one of them.
But here comes the other.
The Herculoids
have won again, Amak.
They cannot be taken.
Then, they must perish.
Let's put a hole
in their plans, Dorno.
Right, Zandor.
I'm not defeated yet.
Amak is taking off.
My stun turret.
Do you suppose Amak
survived the crash, Zandor?
He probably did, Dorno.
But now that his
craft is destroyed
his plans for enslaving
the animals are finished.
First, to divert the attention
of the Herculoids
with the quadrat.
Activate the ray.
The vibro ray will start it
on its mission of destruction.
What's that?
Something has roused
a swamp quadrat.
And that's trouble.
Prepare to move into
assault positions.
It will be done.
Look. Zok's fighting
with the quadrat.
Igoo, Tundro,
we've got to help Zok.
Dorno, Tara, stay here.
Quadrat diversion successful.
Good. You know
what to do.
At once.
Look. Zok's trying
to hold it off.
Igoo. Tundro.
We've got to bring
him down first.
Your Herculoids did well
against the quadrat, Zandor.
SKORRA: But meantime,
look behind you.
That means my guards have
surrounded Tara and Dorno.
And your purpose for all this?
You and your Herculoids will
be exiled from this planet.
And then, all will be mine!
You'd better get
someone else to exile.
Come on, let's go.
If that's your choice,
then face my nutri rays.
SKORRA:
You will pay, Zandor.
This is the finish of you
and the Herculoids.
Quick. Back to Tara and Dorno.
We're surrounded.
Zandor and the Herculoids
are returning.
Act quickly!
We will do it.
They're aiming at us.
Look.
Down, Dorno!
Gloop's got him.
They had their choice.
They rejected exile.
Now, let them receive
the doom of the mega shield.
Skorra isn't finished yet.
What is she sending
against us now?
A mega shield.
Now, I will close
the mega circle.
And when it closes,
they will be gone!
Don't move, anybody.
That shield is composed of
nutri disintegrating elements.
ZANDOR:
No, Igoo.
Don't make contact.
At last, the Herculoids
and Zandor have met their match.
Tundro. Use your energy rocks.
It may set up a smoke screen.
Good. It's working.
She can't see us.
Igoo, the emergency exit.
Alright. Everybody down.
Quickly.
Igoo, when we're all in,
close the entrance.
Finish them!
Gone!
The end of Zandor
and the Herculoids.
ZANDOR:
Not yet, Skorra.
SKORRA:
Zandor. And the Herculoids.
They escaped.
They escaped!
That takes care
of that evil queen.
This time it's Skorra's
turn to be exiled.
By the Herculoids.
