00:00Now, from the golden age of comics, welcome to Prisoners of the Incredible Plants.

00:08The planetary system had been inhabited up to Jupiter.

00:12Beyond that, the asteroid belts were unconquered and unexplored.

00:17But hardy space prospectors braved the dangers of uncharted space

00:22to bring back precious metals and minerals for Earth's millions.

00:25One such space transport was returning to Earth after a six-year journey

00:31when, without warning, loomed the giant, hollow asteroid

00:37containing a dreaded menace greater than any peril threatening the universe.

00:43To conquer it was difficult, but to fail meant death.

00:49We join space pilot Dan Dare and his crew

00:53as they explore the giant asteroid that has appeared before them.

00:59Great Scott! What is that thing out there?

01:02It looks like a giant asteroid!

01:06Cut the jets quick! We're being dragged down by its gravitational pull!

01:10Brace yourselves, we're going to crash!

01:13Barely had the rocket's engines been switched off

01:16when it shattered the gelatinous outer envelope of the strange asteroid's stratosphere.

01:21The ship then became sucked in with incredible strength

01:25towards what looked like a hard central core inside the ship.

01:29We find two of the crew sitting on the floor.

01:32Smoke from damaged pipes can be seen drifting in the air.

01:35We see a crewman leaning against the bulkhead and holding onto his leg.

01:39Ah! I think only my ankle sprained.

01:44Well, how about you and the others?

01:45Another crewman is leaning on the floor,

01:49his hand against the side of his head.

01:52His uniform ripped.

01:55No one's hurt, but we're all stunned.

01:59What kind of asteroid is this?

02:02Let's hope the ship hasn't been damaged too much.

02:06Looking at one of the gauges,

02:08crewman Lon reports,

02:09Captain,

02:10the meter's all registered that there's enough air outside for normal breathing.

02:16Captain Dare is unsure if the readings can be trusted.

02:21Nevertheless, Lon,

02:22we'll have to be careful.

02:24Dangers can lurk anywhere on an asteroid like this.

02:28Put on all of your equipment.

02:31Lon and Dawson venture outside the ship and begin to look around.

02:36First out is Lon.

02:37Here I go, sir.

02:40Say,

02:41the ground isn't too bad.

02:43It feels sort of spongy and resilient.

02:48From the ship's main hatch,

02:49the captain says,

02:51Cover him, Dawson.

02:53You other men stay close to each other

02:54and within five yards of the ship

02:57until we can determine our environment.

03:01Lon and Dawson are startled by what they see.

03:05Dawson,

03:06Look!

03:06This landscape is straight out of some prehistoric past.

03:12Hmm.

03:13The prehistoric past never contained as many different kinds of vegetation as this.

03:19The whole horizon is covered with them.

03:22The crew begins their exploration of the immediate terrain in earnest.

03:26To all sides of them there were huge ferns, towering plants, gigantic trees,

03:33and all sorts of weird, indescribable vegetation that literally covered the ground.

03:41Looking around, the captain issues an order.

03:44Well, there doesn't seem to be any signs of hostile life except for this jungle,

03:49but stick close anyway.

03:50Dawson, check the damage to the ship.

03:52Dawson climbs up on the ship's hull.

03:56Well, the hull is broken through in three places, Captain.

03:59We'll have to remold and weld the copper coating on it,

04:02or we'll never make it back to Earth.

04:04Looking up at Dawson, the captain replies,

04:08Well, all the ship's controls are working,

04:11which means we can blast off from here as soon as we're finished.

04:15Facing his men,

04:16Captain Dare continues to bring them up to date on the situation.

04:20Yet, we were powerless to pull free from this freakish gravity

04:24when we entered and when we sighted the asteroid.

04:27That means we have to use every auxiliary engine we have

04:31to blast off in order to combat the pull.

04:34Standing next to some equipment,

04:36Lon reports,

04:38Luckily, we have all the mining equipment to find the copper ore for the hull.

04:43Four of the crew set out to find the necessary metal ore

04:46that could be molded onto the hull

04:49while the remaining two men stay behind to guard the ship.

04:53The captain issues his orders.

04:55Each man will cover the other.

04:58Adams, swing that ore detector more towards your right.

05:02Will the crew find the copper ore they need?

05:04What will they find as they explore the asteroid?

05:08Find out more in the next episode of

05:10Prisoners of the Incredible Plants.
