00:00And now, stand by for adventure in the exciting story of Scratch and the Sea Serpent.

00:27Scratch was headed for trouble.

00:30On the shore of the lagoon near the center of the island, he had found what appeared

00:34to be the entrance to a great cave.

00:38Scratch peeked into the dark interior, squeezed between the huge white rocks at the entrance,

00:42tumbled inside, and then down he went.

00:44Down, down, down into a tunnel of darkness.

00:48Too late.

00:50Scratch realized that this wasn't a cave at all, but the inside of a gigantic sea serpent.

00:58And the great white rocks he had squeezed through were the monster's teeth gleaming

01:02in the sun.

01:03And now those giant jaws of the sea serpent had closed, trapping our caveman friend, maybe

01:10forever.

01:14Of course, Little Squeak, busy in his library, and Colonel Bleep, in his laboratory, were

01:20unaware that Scratch was in trouble.

01:23Bleep, for some time, had been experimenting with a secret formula for changing plutonic

01:27lightning bolts into solid rods stronger than steel.

01:34That very morning, he had discovered the final missing ingredient, which Bleep called frigid

01:40plutonium 505.

01:43By creating a plutonic lightning bolt, then quickly freezing it with frigid plutonium,

01:50the bolt became a solid rod as light as a feather, yet stronger than steel.

01:57That same morning, Little Squeak was in the library of his new dream home, dusting the

02:01many shelves filled with wonderful magic books.

02:04These books were magic because the pictures in them actually moved.

02:09For instance, here's a page from Treasure Island, and Jack and the Beanstalk.

02:16And here's Squeak's favorite book, The Adventures of Pinocchio.

02:20The story of the little wooden puppet who had all kinds of exciting adventures and even

02:25became a real live boy.

02:29It wasn't until about 20 minutes after Scratch disappeared down the throat of the sea serpent

02:34that Bleep and Squeak discovered he was missing.

02:37Through the plutonic radar scanner, Bleep could see every spot on Zero Zero Island,

02:43but Scratch was nowhere to be found.

02:46Then Bleep saw a movement in the lagoon.

02:48It was the sea monster.

02:49And when Bleep switched on the x-ray vision attachment, he plainly saw that the caveman

02:54was trapped in the stomach of that serpent.

02:58In an instant, Bleep and Squeak streaked to the water's edge with a flash.

03:03Bleep made two plutonic lightning bolts, sprayed them with frigid plutonium 505, and using

03:09these strong rods as stilts, they waded into the sea to catch the serpent by surprise.

03:14As Squeak pinched the monster's nose, its mouth opened and Bleep jammed the stilt between

03:19those great jaws.

03:20And before Squeak could squeak, the colonel had dashed inside the serpent to rescue their

03:24old friend Scratch.

03:25Then Bleep grabbed the beast by the tail and with super plutonic strength threw him completely

03:31out of this world.

03:33So once again, Bleep, Squeak, and Scratch are reunited.

03:40And you can just bet that Scratch will not step into any more caves without testing first

03:46to be sure that it is just a cave.
