00:52Defenders of the Earth!
00:54Enders!
00:55Defenders of the Earth!
01:07You expect me to marry you, Crotan?
01:09You will do as I command, my dear.
01:12These mind bombs are detonated by my very thoughts.
01:16There are six such bombs on the other defenders of the Earth.
01:20If you disobey me, this will happen to your friends.
01:27Now, what do you say?
01:30All right!
01:32I'll marry you.
01:33Come then, my sweet, blushing bride-to-be.
01:41We searched everywhere, Dinak.
01:43Jedha just vanished, along with Crotan.
01:46Sensors indicate Jedha was taken to Mongo.
01:50The last time he was here, he displayed a high level of infatuation with Jedha.
01:54Aw, come on, Mandrake.
01:56Jedha's about as interested in Crotan as I am.
01:58Then why did she go to Mongo?
02:00I'm sure he didn't force her.
02:01I know Jedha.
02:03There must be some other reason she went to Mongo with Crotan.
02:06Rick is right.
02:07Rick is right.
02:08And there is one place to find the answer.
02:10I station Earth.
02:19Ming the Merciless is no more.
02:22I, Crotan, am now ruler of Mongo.
02:26And I know that in the past some of you thought me a cruel and unjust prince.
02:30But I assure you, all that will change now.
02:33I have a list of all dissenters.
02:36And they will be sent to the ice mines within the hour.
02:40Cheer, you merman!
02:45I have chosen a queen.
02:48Our royal wedding will take place within the week.
02:53There's not much time.
02:54I must find a way out of here and warn Father and the other defenders.
03:01Oh, if only I had Mandrake's power of telekinesis.
03:11You, little rockworm.
03:13You must help me escape.
03:15Listen.
03:16Very carefully.
03:18The keys.
03:19Get me the keys.
03:25Now bring them to me.
03:27Please hurry.
03:28Hurry, little fella.
03:29Hurry, little fella.
03:48Right above Ice Station Earth.
03:50What do you say we drop in on them?
03:52No, no.
04:01Ice Robots!
04:07Piece of cake!
04:08I would not be so confident, Flash.
04:11Where do they come from?
04:13Bring the defenders to me!
04:16Just what I was hoping you'd say, Garax.
04:23Hiya, Garax.
04:24Long time no see.
04:26Fancy meeting you here.
04:28Octon, how's the galaxy's biggest bowling ball?
04:31Flash Gordon.
04:33Your flip attitude will soon change
04:35when you realize there is no escape.
04:38This time.
04:40Oh, you mean because Ming isn't here to botch things up?
04:44Silence! Where is Ming?
04:46Is he missing again?
04:48Ming was last seen near Monitore.
04:51What have you done with him?
04:53I doubt you will ever see your lord and master again.
04:57You will pay for this, defenders!
05:00Hey, hold on!
05:02We didn't do Ming in!
05:04If not the defenders, who could have defeated Ming?
05:07His son, Prince Crotan.
05:10Crotan!
05:12Now, Rus...
05:14No! Never!
05:17We aren't too crazy about him either.
05:20We must destroy Crotan!
05:22He must not leave!
05:24Pardon me for pointing this out,
05:25but you chaps aren't in much of a position to destroy anybody.
05:30That's right.
05:31We, on the other hand,
05:32might be able to bring an end to Crotan's reign.
05:35All in the name of Ming, of course.
05:37Tell us!
05:39Crotan has kidnapped my daughter, Jeddah,
05:42and has taken her to Mongo.
05:44And we want to know why.
05:46In the name of Ming, we shall help you.
05:49Crotan took Jeddah Walker to Mongo to make her his queen.
05:53What? Jeddah? Queen of Mongo?
05:57That's as stupid as me marrying Mongo!
06:00Wow!
06:02Perhaps you might,
06:04if you knew you would receive a gift from the Weapon Masters of Beta-2.
06:08Tell us, who are the Weapon Masters of Beta-2?
06:12The greatest armorers in the galaxy.
06:14By an ancient pact,
06:17whenever the ruler of Mongo weds,
06:19he receives a weapon of ultimate power from Beta-2.
06:24Whatever the Weapon Masters give Crotan,
06:27it will make his authority on Mongo absolute.
06:32I can't wait to get my hands on Crotan.
06:35We are not going to Mongo, Rick.
06:37What? Why?
06:38Before we can rescue Jeddah and destroy Crotan,
06:42we best consort the Weapon Masters of Beta-2.
06:45Lothar's right.
06:47We'll pay a visit to the Weapon Masters and check out their wedding gift.
06:57Quite a good speech I gave, wasn't it, Throck?
07:00Yes, my lord.
07:02As good as any your father ever gave.
07:03You mean better than any my father gave, don't you?
07:08Yes, my lord. Best I ever heard.
07:12You see, father?
07:13They respect me far more than they ever did you.
07:17Now I rule supreme, not you.
07:33Why were you trying to escape?
07:35I wasn't trying to escape.
07:37I wanted to get a communicator to warn my friends.
07:40Warn them? About what?
07:42Crotan! You must know he placed Mind Bombs on each of them.
07:46If they try to rescue me, he'll destroy them all.
07:49Crotan must not become ruler of Mongo.
07:52There is a communication room in the next hall.
07:54Good luck.
07:56Not the most welcoming piece of rock in the universe.
07:59How do you think the Weapon Masters will receive us, Dad?
08:01Like a skunk at a lawn party, son.
08:11Right again, Flash.
08:12I can't shake that missile on our tail.
08:16It's bigger than the shuttle.
08:18Hold on, guys. Hold on!
08:22I can't shake that missile on our tail.
08:27It's bigger than the shuttle.
08:29Hold on, guys. Hold on!
08:32Terrific maneuver, Flash.
08:45It was nothing. I could do it all over again.
08:47He said the communications room was just in the next hall.
08:53This had better be it.
09:00Come on, clear up!
09:02Garax?
09:0440,000 space frequencies and I get the hotline to Ice Station Earth!
09:07Jeddah Walker, hear me.
09:10The Defenders are coming to rescue you.
09:13Why are you telling me this?
09:14Why should I believe you?
09:16We are working together to dethrone Crotan.
09:19To return you to your father.
09:21And to restore me to his throne.
09:26There's no time.
09:28Garax, tell the Defenders to remember Tad Walton.
09:31Jeddah, my beloved.
09:37Whatever are you doing here?
09:40Um, studying the resemblance between you and your father.
09:45My patience grows thin, Jeddah.
09:48You would be wise not to mock me,
09:50for I still hold the lies of the Defenders in my mind.
09:55It seems quiet enough.
09:58This is your idea of quiet?
10:01I think they have us outgunned.
10:07Garax, calling the Defenders.
10:10Come in.
10:12I have an urgent message from Jeddah Walker.
10:14She says to remember Tad Walton.
10:18Tad Walton?
10:20Jeddah's playing guess who games in a time like this?
10:23Tad Walton.
10:25Of course.
10:26That's how Crotan got Jeddah to agree to marry him.
10:28Crotan must have planted mind bombs on us the way he did with Tad.
10:33You mean we're carrying bombs on us?
10:34I think they have no platforms aboard those things.
10:40They're robots.
10:42Maybe we can get inside one.
10:44They definitely have us outgunned.
10:46That one with the big gun is our best bet.
10:49Somebody keep you distracted.
10:50Leave it to me.
10:51Hey!
10:52Over here!
10:53Over here!
10:57It's okay Phantom.
10:58We've got it under control.
10:59Come inside.
11:00It's okay Phantom.
11:01We've got it under control.
11:02Come inside.
11:03Hey!
11:04Over here!
11:05Over here!
11:06It's okay Phantom.
11:07We've got it under control.
11:08Come inside.
11:09It's okay Phantom.
11:10We've got it under control.
11:12Come inside.
11:13Hey!
11:14Over here!
11:15Over here!
11:28That should wake them up.
11:42Yes? What is it?
11:45What do you want?
11:48Keep us covered.
11:50Take us to the Weapon Masters of Beta-2.
11:52But my young friend,
11:54we are the Weapon Masters of Beta-2.
11:58Now, here's a handy little item.
12:10But this...
12:11No tricks.
12:16Oh, I say, that is a nice one.
12:19But now, this...
12:22This can destroy the whole planet.
12:25This is wrong.
12:27Pardon me?
12:29You make weapons that can take billions of innocent lives,
12:32and you treat it all so lightly.
12:34We are just doing our jobs.
12:37How our product is used is none of our affair.
12:40Our sole concern is to make the finest weapons of destruction money can buy.
12:46We're attending the wedding of Prince Crotan.
12:48Would you mind giving us a preview of the gift you're bringing?
12:51I think we'll give him that.
12:54You're giving him a statue?
12:56Oh, that's no statue.
12:59It's a robot.
13:00The most powerful ever built.
13:02Now, I'm afraid we have to load it for delivery.
13:06Which means I'll have to put you out of the way.
13:11To work.
13:16Crotan's wedding is only a few hours away.
13:24That's it.
13:25Mandrake, can you get us out of here?
13:27Shouldn't be too difficult.
13:29Phantom, this is Flash.
13:30Get back to the shuttle.
13:32We'll meet you on Mongo.
13:33I'll explain later.
13:34Gordon out.
13:35Flash, how are we going to meet them on Mongo to rescue Jetta if they take the shuttle?
13:40The way Paris rescued Helen of Troy with the Trojan horse.
13:45Only this time, instead of a horse, it'll be a 200-foot robot.
13:49Mandrake, do your thing.
13:50He caused a chain reaction.
14:00It will destroy the whole planet through the escape pods.
14:04Let's not keep the wedding party waiting.
14:06So much for the great weapon masters of beta, too.
14:20A taste of their own destructive medicine.
14:24Now, let's find out how this thing works.
14:33The wedding gifts are starting to arrive, your highness.
14:36What is that?
14:39Aim this at your victims, your highness, and it will instantly teleport them to another part of the planet.
14:46Marvelous.
14:49And this is a gift from the Overlord of Dabletrace, a demonian slime beast.
14:56Make it go away, Throck.
14:58No, no, no, majesty.
15:00Just feed it this food pellet, and you'll have a friend for life.
15:05You feed him.
15:07It's your event, majesty.
15:12Here, boy.
15:15Did you see that, Throck?
15:17It tried to kill me.
15:19But majesty, it loves you.
15:22Get him out of here.
15:24Take it to Janus' room.
15:25Have it guard her.
15:27Yes, sire.
15:28Of course, sire.
15:29And where's my most important gift?
15:31The one from the weapon masters.
15:35The transport from Beta 2 is landing now, majesty.
15:38Mandrake, you've got the best chance of getting inside.
15:44Go to it.
15:52Protan's orders, milady.
15:53I must leave this beast here to guard you.
15:56Foolish, Protan has forgotten about my special telepathic powers.
16:00Do not fear.
16:02I am a friend.
16:03Were you able to warn the defenders, Lady Jedi?
16:06I tried.
16:11Fantastic.
16:13Marvelous.
16:14No one will oppose me with this weapon towering by my side.
16:19Demonstrate it for me.
16:20It is programmed to become operational after you have exchanged the vows of marriage, Your Highness.
16:26Well, what are we waiting for?
16:28The sooner, the better.
16:29Mandrake!
16:37We've come to rescue you, my lady.
16:40Oh, dear.
16:44No, no!
16:46Mandrake is our friend.
16:47I say, will this creature obey your commands?
16:50I think so.
16:51We might have a good use for it yet.
16:53But, Mandrake, the mind bombs Protan placed on you.
16:56You mean, these?
17:00Let the wedding ceremony begin!
17:02Do you, Prince Protan of Mongo, take this earthling to be your...
17:19I do!
17:20Hurry this on!
17:21And do you, Jenna Walker, take this man to be your husband and emperor?
17:26I do.
17:27I now pronounce you emperor and queen.
17:31You may kiss the bride.
17:33At last, total power is mine!
17:42What trickery is this?
17:44Who dares mock me thus?
17:46I do, Crotan.
17:49Down on your knees!
17:52That is where you belong!
17:55Gods!
17:56Stop that thing!
18:10It's time we took our leave, my dear.
18:18We've given Mandrake and Jetta enough time.
18:20Let's get out of here!
18:21Now that'll scramble the circuits.
18:25Sorry we can't stay for a piece of the wedding cake, Crotan.
18:30Flash golden!
18:31Bring her down, Rick.
18:53They'll find us.
18:54Thank heaven you're safe, Jetta.
19:14Save the family reunions for later.
19:16We've got to move!
19:17You will pay for this, Defenders!
19:20My throne room!
19:29It's been a swell party, Crotan.
19:32No, they can't get away!
19:38They will not get off, Mongo.
19:40That easily, Defenders!
19:42Empty, sire!
19:57Of course!
19:58I teleported them to random points on Mongo.
20:01And when I track them down,
20:03they will pay for their crimes against me.
20:06Yeah, yeah!
20:10We had to go into games with
