The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 15 - Return of Sta-Lak - 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.
First, I must find
Zandor and the Herculoids.
Dorno, see if you could see
Zandor up ahead.
Okay. Let's go, Gloop.
No sign of him, Gloop.
Let's go down again.
We didn't see Zandor,
Igoo or Zok.
Then we'll meet them
at the lake.
What's that?
It's Sta-Lak.
He's come back.
I thought he crashed.
No, I survived
to repay you all.
Look!
What an awful looking thing.
There's another one.
Now, look above you.
Now, to make sure they bring
Zandor to the Black Caverns.
I'll prevent them
from following.
That's the Herculoid
danger call.
Good.
My trap is set.
And what do you
expect to accomplish?
STA-LAK: The destruction
of the Herculoids.
We know Sta-Lak's expecting us.
So, let's not
keep him waiting.
Igoo, we need an entrance.
Hah! The Herculoids
have arrived.
Alright, Sta-Lak,
where are Dorno and Tara?
- Here, Zandor.
- Yeah, and we're alright.
Yes, they are alright
up to now, Zandor.
But if I press this button,
they will be disintegrated.
ZANDOR:
Meaning what?
A challenge!
Your Herculoids
against my duplex.
Winner take this planet.
There's your answer.
We accept your challenge.
Good!
Let the battle begin.
Zandor.
I'll have you out in a minute.
Now.
Look, Zok's after the last one.
But the last one
has hidden powers.
I'm not finished yet.
I still have more powers.
We'll cut that short.
Look, Tara,
Sta-Lak has another way out.
Yes, a way out
and someday a way back.
And don't ever forget
that I will be back.
Beat ya home, Zandor.
Alright, Dorno.
After this, I'm glad
we still have a home to go to.
There always will be, Tara.
As long as we have
the Herculoids to protect it.
Skull Peak in front
of us now, captain.
We're on course. Fly straight
through the right eye.
We're over
the buried chest, captain.
Good! After we retrieve
the chest, I have an old score
to settle with Zandor
and the Herculoids.
Release the flares.
Look.
A distress flare.
We'd better have a look.
It's an unfamiliar
distress signal.
We may all be needed.
Follow us quickly as you can.
Let's go, Zok.
Get me down, Gloop.
Come on, Gleep.
We'll lead the way.
We're right behind you.
DORNO: Let's go, Igoo.
Captain, Zandor comes.
Good! Secure the chest.
I don't believe it.
The Sky Pirates.
They must have come back
for that treasure.
Come on, Zok. We've got
to alert the Herculoids.
He's seen us.
Quickly, get that chest
back on the ship.
We will proceed
with phase two of my plan.
The Sky Pirates
are just ahead of us.
So, we'll have
to move in cautiously.
Igoo, Tundro,
you'll come with me.
The rest of you, wait here.
ZANDOR:
Stay right where you are.
We have no place here
for Sky Pirates.
PIRATE CAPTAIN: The solution
is simple, Zandor.
We will make a place
by eliminating you
and the Herculoids.
Look up, Zandor.
You see, Zandor,
what you were looking at
was merely
a reflected image. Watch.
They're gone. Very clever.
What do you do next?
I'll immobilize you
until we capture the rest.
Incredible ray.
None of us can move.
That blue ray has stopped
them in their tracks.
We've got to get
up to that ship.
Yeah, that side hatch is open.
Come on, Gloop.
It's up to you.
Good! We have them.
DORNO: Not yet,
you don't. Release that ray.
Ah, as I expected.
Zandor's son, Dorno and Tara.
What do you mean?
You found the hatches open.
I left them that way on purpose.
Drop that gun.
Soon, I will have you all.
You two will become slaves.
The others will be
immobilized forever.
Prepare to take off.
- What's that?
- We don't know.
We're not moving.
I don't think you're
gonna take off anywhere.
The repel-ray. Quickly.
Eject attack units.
We've gotta break
these shields.
If Zok uses his mega beam
it will reverse this
immobilizing shield
that's holding us.
That did it, Zok.
Now, free Tundro and Igoo.
Not all of you are free, Zandor.
Look on the ridge behind me.
- Reflected images.
PIRATE CAPTAIN:\ Correct, Zandor.
But which is the real couple?
And if you and the Herculoids
do not surrender
my dissect ray
will destroy the real ones.
Herculoids, it's our move.
You're too late, Zandor.
My attack units
will finish you all.
I still have my escape missile.
Look, an escape hatch.
Our Sky Pirates' missile
must've triggered
his reflection mechanism.
Gosh! He vanished.
And this time,
I hope for good.
