The Herculoids (1967–1969): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Mole Men/The Lost Dorgoyte - 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 are The Herculoids.

Look.



Is this one
of the surface people?

No. That is what
the surface people call a bird.

Turn off your magno ray.
Put him back.

I don't know where Zandor went,
but I'm gonna follow him.

Gleep, you stay here
and guard Tara.

And you'd better stay here, Zok.
I'll go with Igoo and Tundro.

Okay. Let's get moving.

Look at that.

A mole ship invading
the surface.

That'll send 'em
back underground.

Now, let's find Zandor.

Markon's orders were to stay
here and guard the tunnel?

Yes. And prepare for the attack
on the surface people.

So Markon's
up to his old tricks.



The light.
Someone is in this area.

They know I'm here.

That will hold them for a while.
I've got to stop Markon.

No longer would you interfere
with my plans, Targo.

You forget Zandor, Markon.

I will deal with Zandor.

But first you must die.

Argh!

It's Zandor. Seize him.

Surround him. Stop him.

Stop him.

Here, Zandor. This will help you
escape Markon's guards.

Thanks, Targo.

Stand back.
Leave him to me.

Look, the warning signal again.
Someone approaches.

There they are. Fire.

What manner of creatures
are these?

Markon's gaining on me.

You will not get away, Zandor.

This energy rock ought
to slow you down, Markon.

That shot stopped him.

No. Here he comes again.

I'll aim higher.

Nothing stops me, Zandor.

- Our guns.
- They're gone.

So nothing stops him

Well, let's see
how he handles this.

Now, to get out of here.

No. No!

Get 'em, Tundro.

Quick. Back inside
and close the hatch.

ZANDOR: That's enough, Igoo.

Send it back
where it came from.

Here comes Tara and Zok.

Good. And just in time
for Zok to seal up the tunnel.

There they are, Zok.
Watch for Zandor's signal.

Alright, Zok.
Seal it up.

There shouldn't be
any more trouble

from the Mole Men now, Zandor.

I hope not, Tara.

Unless Markon shows up again.

I forgot.
Igoo can take care of him.

Look, that giant vulture
has captured a Dorgyte.

Tundro, call Zandor.

That's Tundro's alarm call.

Let's go, Zok.

- Zandor.
- Trouble, Dorno?

A vulture's captured a Dorgyte.

He took him to the nest
in the cliff.

Let's go, Zok.

Zok, I'll try for the nest.

And you take care
of the vulture.

That's right, little fella.
You are a long way from home.

Don't worry.
Zok will stop him.

Watch.

Come on, Zok.

Head for home, Zok.

As a Dorgyte from the dark side
of the planet

he can't survive
in the daylight for long.

We'll have to help him
return to his people.

What'd he say, Zandor?

He says he will try
and show us the way.

I told him we're leaving, Tara.
Some of us will go now.

- You follow later, on Zok.
- I'm ready, Zandor.

We'll meet at the entrance
to the Stone Forest.

DORNO: How far is it, Zandor?

Just beyond that bridge.

TARA: There they are. Waiting.

Tara, you and Dorno
wait here with Zok and Gloop.

Hey, you let me go
with you, Zandor.

I've never seen
the Stone Forest.

- Alright, Dorno, come on.
- Be careful.

Don't worry. We will.

Look.

He says they
were night scarabs.

And he hopes they won't attack.

Me too.

ZANDOR: He says we've reached
his home.

What's he saying?

He says thanks,

but we must hurry back
and to beware.

Let's go, Tundro.

- Keep your eyes open.
- I am.

And look.

Go get 'em, Igoo.

Good work, Igoo.
Now, we can get through.

It's going to charge.
Dorno, Gleep, up on Igoo. Fast.

I'm glad you're on our side,
Tundro.

Alright. Keep going.

I hope that's the end of it.

Not yet. Look ahead.

We'll have to make
a run for it.

Tundro, up shield.

Stay down, Dorno.
Igoo, stay close.

Let's go.

There are some more.

Faster. We must reach the bridge
before they surround us.

Here they come.
Look, those beetles.

They're blocking the path
to the bridge.

There's Tara with the others.

Where are Igoo and Gleep?

Hurry up, Igoo.
We're at the bridge.

Here he comes.
Let's go, Tundro.

Igoo, behind you.

DORNO: You know,
I like the Dorgytes.

But I don't like
their neighbors.

ZANDOR: You can say that again,
Dorno.
