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.
Any signs of inhabitants,
Scout One?
SCOUT ONE: No sign.
There is a creature
in the clearing ahead.
We cannot chance being seen.
Destroy it, at once!
Something has happened
to Scout One.
Investigate, in strength.
Igoo's alarm!
Enemy approaching.
- You know your positions.
- Yes, Zandor.
Everyone to your places.
Hurry! They're coming.
Clearing ahead.
ANDROPON: Surround and eliminate
all resistance.
You're all in position?
Fire!
Any resistance?
Scout #1 : No more resistance.
Any sign of survivors?
Scout #2: Negative.
ANDROPON: Search and destroy.
We will comply.
Ambush!
All units attack.
That takes care
of the invaders, alright.
Look, there's one more.
Down, Tara.
He spotted us.
That's it, Dorno.
That's the last of them.
We hope.
Unless it's just
the beginning.
Scout crafts.
Calling, scout crafts.
Something's gone wrong.
You, in there!
Who calls?
I am Zandor. Your ships
have all been destroyed.
There are many more
where we come from.
ZANDOR: Then many more
will be destroyed.
Then I will
make this bargain.
Defeat our fighter Ogron
and we will leave.
It is agreed.
Fight well, Ogron.
I have never
been defeated.
Here he comes!
Looks like we've got a battle
on our hands, Zok.
I can't hold it off
with the shield, Zok. Dive!
The slicing blades,
use them.
Look out, Zandor!
Good.
The multiple rays.
He's still after us.
Into the mists. Fast!
Those rays have got
to be destroyed.
Zok, try
and knock them out.
Ah!
They vaporized my rays.
The black pool, Zandor!
The black pool!
The black pool?
It's dangerous,
but it's our only chance.
Go for the sting
of Ogron's needle.
Now I move in
for the kill.
He's following us, Zok.
Use everything you've got.
You fool, after him!
He has defeated Ogron.
He must pay for that.
Elevate the nucla-ray.
Zandor is safe!
No one
can beat Zandor.
Tara, look down there.
DORNO:
They're gonna fire on Zandor.
TARA: Look out, Zandor!
They're hit!
They broke their word.
TARA: Igoo, are you alright?
Take off!
Quickly!
They're getting away.
Oh no!
Turn, turn, turn!
Right on target, Igoo.
The enemy's gone.
Yes, thanks
to the Herculoids.
I don't think they'll
be back in a hurry.
Monaray, Monaray,
report your position.
We are locked on target, Brotak.
Good, your mission
must not fail.
No, master.
The land creatures Zandor and
Tara will soon be our prisoners.
Zandor, what's that sound?
I don't know, Tara.
Gloop, take me up
for a better look.
Okay, Gloop,
up we go.
TARA: Zandor, what are they?
It's the Bubblemen, Tara.
Quick, take cover!
Tundro, use your
energy rocks.
They've got Zandor.
Igoo, you've got
to save Zandor.
Listen, it's Igoo.
There must be trouble.
Hurry, Zok.
Something approaches.
We must hurry.
BROTAK: Get the one
called Tara.
Look, it's Zandor and Tara.
They've been captured
by the Bubblemen.
We've got to follow them.
Look! There they are.
They've taken Zandor and Tara
into their undersea lab.
We've got to find
a way to get in.
Zandor, what is this place?
It's the Bubblemen's undersea
laboratory, Tara.
It's controlled by Brotak.
So, Zandor, we have you
land creatures at last.
What do you want
with us, Brotak?
What would any scientist want
with guinea pigs?
Prepare them
for the experiment.
I don't see anything.
But this is the spot
where the shaft was.
The whirlpool must be
the key to its entrance.
Try your laser beam.
It worked, Zog.
There's the shaft.
Let's go, Gleep.
Down we go, Gleep.
Now, Zandor, we will see what
you land creatures can stand.
Well, we made it
this far, Gleep.
Now to find Zandor
and Tara.
A guard.
Take care of him, Gleep.
He won't bother us
for a while.
Come on, Gleep.
This way.
Let the experiments begin.
Oh no, you don't.
Zandor people.
Get them.
Hurry, Dorno!
Hurry!
Stop them.
They're escaping.
They're getting away.
Sound the alarm.
Hang on!
We're going to crash.
There they are.
After them.
We're trapped.
Look! It's Igoo
and Tundro.
Look!
We'll have to make
our stand here.
You will not escape me, Zandor.
I will return with others.
Is that the end
of Brotak, Zandor?
I don't know, Dorno.
Only time will tell.
