[BEEPING]
Captain, I have a UFO
that comes and goes.
It just showed again, sir.
Yes, sir.
Could it be a rough sea?
No, sir.
Whatever it is, it's moving
at a high rate of speed.
Okay, I'm going to
call a Red Scramble.
[ALARM SOUNDING]
PILOT ON RADIO: I have
the bogey plain and clear,
and I'm closing fast.
Contact within eight minutes.
Over.
Uh, Roger, Red One.
Advise on contact.
Over and out.
Red One to base.
Reached contact point
and no bogey in sight.
Request instructions.
Over.
Well, whatever it was,
it's gone now.
Guess we were
just picking up sea waves, sir.
Red One and Red
Two, return to base.
Over.
Roger. Wilco.
Over and out.
I wonder what that
light is behind the dune.
I'd better notify Dr. Quest.
[INTERCOM BUZZING]
Yes?
Something strange going on
about 300 yards
from the main gate, sir.
What is it?
Well, I don't know.
It's a light of some kind
over behind a dune.
Shall I have it investigated?
No, I'll get Race
Bannon and take a look.
Yes, sir.
[WHIRRING]
[CAR APPROACHING]
Which way?
Over there, sir.
See it, Race?
Yes, sir.
What do you make of it?
I don't know.
We'd better have
a look. Let's go.
Did you see that, doctor?
The light is gone.
RACE: Look!
DR. QUEST: What is it?
I don't know,
but it sure looks weird.
Let's have a closer look.
You'd better go back
and get the sand
truck and winch.
You going to stay here, doctor?
Yes, I'll keep an eye
on it till you get back.
Oh, Race.
Better bring along
a floodlight or two.
Okay. Be right back.
Well, stranger.
Where did you come from?
Say, Hadji,
show me that levitation
trick again, will you?
We're supposed to be
doing homework, Jonny.
Aw, come on. Just once more.
Okay, we'll try it on Bandit.
Sim, sim, sala, bim.
[YAWNS]
Sim, sim, sala, bim.
Gee, that's a
great trick, Hadji.
Bandit does not think so.
He never woke up.
[SAND TRUCK APPROACHING]
What's that?
I don't know.
Something's going on.
Hey, it's a tractor.
Yeah, with Race.
Hey, Race!
Race! Race!
He can't hear you.
JONNY: Come on,
let's head him off.
[DOOR OPENS]
[BARKING EXCITEDLY]
All right, what's
with the thumbs?
Ride, mister?
Please?
[BARKING]
Okay, okay. Hop aboard.
RACE: Okay, doctor. Here we are.
I brought along
a couple of hitchhikers.
Hello, Dr. Quest.
Hi, Dad.
Okay, boys.
I was wondering when
you two would show up.
DR. QUEST: Now, you stay back
while we look this thing over.
Let's go, Race.
Aiee! What is it?
Wow, looks like a spaceship.
I'd better back the truck around
and face the winch
toward that thing.
[BARKING AND GROWLING]
[GROWLING]
What's the matter with Bandit?
He sees a rabbit over there.
JONNY: I don't think
he's afraid of you,
Bandit.
Perhaps he thinks
you are another rabbit, Bandit.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Those rabbits
are fierce, Bandit.
He is one ferocious rabbit.
[LAUGHING]
DR. QUEST: Quiet, boys.
Listen, Race.
I hear it.
It's like a muffled heartbeat.
We'd better move back.
No telling what it is.
Scary, isn't it, Hadji?
You said it, Jonny.
Hey, look!
The thing. Look!
[HATCH WHIRRING]
It's opening!
What is it, Dad?
I don't know, Jonny.
I really don't know.
What do you think, Race?
RACE: It's like nothing
I've ever seen before.
Look, doctor.
It's just like an eye.
Yes, it is.
[LAUGHING]
Well, Dr. Quest
is taking the bait.
Just as I wanted.
[LAUGHING]
Your food, Dr. Zin.
You brainless fool!
Get out!
[GLASS SHATTERING]
And if you ever
come in here again
without knocking,
I'll have you flogged!
Now, get out.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
[DOOR CLOSES]
What do you make
of it, Dr. Quest?
I don't know,
but wherever it comes from,
it's the result of
a brilliant mind.
Ha, ha, ha! You'll
find out, Dr. Quest.
RACE: What are you
going to do with it?
Well, the core seems to be
the brain of this thing.
Let's take it in
for a closer look.
Exactly what I
planned you would do.
[CHUCKLING]
And now to sleep,
my little robot friend.
JONNY: Look!
The eye. It's closing!
HADJI: Like it's going to sleep!
All right,
let's pick it up, Race,
and take it in with us.
Okay, Race. Lower away.
Don't let anyone
in that storage building.
That thing may be dangerous.
Yes, sir.
DR. QUEST: All
right, fellas. Let's go.
First thing in the morning,
this para-power ray gun
is to be mounted
on a flat trailer
and hooked into
the mobile generator.
I want to be ready
for the field tests
by 11:00 a.m.
Right, doctor.
But what about that thing
in the storage building?
That'll have to wait
till after the tests.
Come on, let's have some coffee.
[LOW PULSING]
What's going on in there?
All right, who's in there?
I'm sure I heard something.
What the?
An eye!
Aah!
I am very sleepy, Jonny.
Oh, me too. Let's hit the hay.
We study to learn and be smart,
but I think Bandit
is the smartest.
He sleeps while we study.
Yeah, well, five minutes
more and then we'll quit, okay?
[YAWNS]
Okay.
[BARKING]
What's wrong with him?
I don't know.
[GROWLING]
What's the matter, Bandit?
Having bad dreams
about big, bad rabbits?
Maybe he heard one
passing the window.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
RACE: That
para-power ray, doctor
just how much can it do?
To tell the truth,
Race, I'm not sure.
It should at the least be able
to drain power from an object.
A car, a lightbulb, an airplane.
Making them useless?
DR. QUEST: Temporarily useless.
How does it work?
You might say it
magnetizes energy,
which is, after all, power.
Quite a weapon.
Could be, because
it doesn't have to kill,
just disarm an
army or air force,
leaving it useless but alive.
Well, I'm going to
have a look around
before I go to bed,
check security.
I'll go with you, Race.
I need some fresh air.
Now we make the move,
and in a few moments,
the secret para-power
ray will belong to me.
[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]
"Dr. Quest. No admittance."
Now, proceed carefully,
my little robot friend.
This is it.
Easy, easy.
Now, your antenna.
Ready, aim, fire!
Nice work, my friend!
[CACKLING]
Well, doctor, everything
seems to check out.
Anything else before we turn in?
Yes, Race.
The storage building.
Want to check that thing
we brought in?
Yes. It worries me.
Where's the guard?
And the door's open.
DR. QUEST: Let's look inside.
Look!
Get the light, Race!
It's the guard!
Yes, Race.
Looks like he's in shock.
[GROANS]
RACE: Look, he's coming to.
Can you talk?
I guess so.
What happened?
Who stole the thing
you were guarding?
No one.
It clobbered me.
Clobbered you?
Do you know what you're saying?
Yes, sir.
It had legs like a giant
spider and an eye,
and two antennas
sticking out the front
and it touched me
with one of them
and I was paralyzed.
Are you all right now? Yes, sir.
Then come with us.
We've got to find
that thing and fast!
That's it, my
friend. Look around.
We'll find the
para-power gun yet!
Hold it.
Let's have a closer
look at that panel.
That's it.
The top button on your left.
That's the one. Press it.
A-ha! There it is!
Dr. Quest's new para-power gun,
and now, my robot
friend, pay attention.
Approach it, examine
it, learn it well,
so you can come back
here with all its secrets
safely stored in
your memory cells.
[LAUGHING]
Hold it, Race.
No one is supposed
to be in there.
What is it?
There's a light in my lab.
Come on. Let's check it out.
Poor Tom. It got him too.
Yes, but where is it now?
Race, come here.
What is it, doctor?
Look.
What do you make of it?
I don't know.
You have learned
the power source,
the range limitations
and circuitry.
Now I will bring you home,
so I can hear its
secrets from you.
DR. ZIN: A-ha!
Good evening, Dr. Quest!
I know that voice.
It's Dr. Zin!
Zin?
Quite right.
You like my secret agent?
What is it?
Since you have no
way of stopping it,
I will tell you.
It's my very latest invention.
An electronic, uh, spy.
Spy?
The Trojan horse routine.
Correct.
Once inside your laboratory,
it gathers information
through these antennae
and stores it in a memory
bank and brings it back to me.
Very ingenious.
Congratulations.
Of course, it hasn't left yet.
No, it hasn't, but it will.
Nothing can stop it.
Let me demonstrate.
Guard!
Get tanks, flame
throwers, anything!
That thing must be stopped!
Yes, sir!
What if they can't
stop it, doctor?
Then we'll use my
para-power ray gun.
But you don't even
know if it works.
You haven't tested it yet.
We don't have a choice.
We have to test it now.
We've got to stop the robot.
Here it comes!
SERGEANT: Fire!
Fire!
What's going on?
It sounded like an explosion.
Come on. Let's find Dad.
It's headed for the
electrified fence!
Swing around!
SERGEANT: Fire!
Fire!
SERGEANT: You, Jones,
give it the flame thrower!
Yes, sir!
We've tried
everything, Dr. Quest,
but nothing seems to stop it.
Keep trying, Sergeant. Yes, sir.
Okay, Race, let's
get back to the lab.
You gonna try your
para-power ray, doctor?
There's no other
way. We have to!
SERGEANT: Give it another blast!
Fire!
Fire!
[WHIRRING]
We haven't a second to
lose, so you boys stay clear.
Yes, sir.
Yes, Dr. Quest.
It's no use.
Nothing's going to stop it!
Now, we'll have to work fast.
Jonny, you hook
in that power line.
Race, turn on the generators.
Hadji, you handle
the hydraulic pressure.
Hurry up. We haven't much time.
Will she fire?
I'm not getting a reading yet.
More power.
Look, the robot!
It's taking off!
Now!
Oh, I hope it works, Dad!
Son, it's got to work.
More power!
You got it, Dad!
Hurray!
Okay, Race, kill the generator.
Well, doctor,
your para-power ray gun
really did the job.
Too good, Race.
It needs more work
and more testing.
JONNY: You sound
disappointed, Dad.
DR. QUEST: I am, in a way.
The para-power
ray should have just
brought the thing
down, not destroyed it.
Well, at least it
brought it down.
Yes, thank heaven,
but I'd have liked
to have seen that robot
close up.
[GROWLING AND BARKING]
Looks like Bandit
salvaged something.
RACE: It's the robot's eye.
DR. QUEST: Yes, it is,
and some day I'll
meet Dr. Zin eye to eye,
and when I do
We will meet again
soon, Dr. Quest.
Very soon, I promise you.
And we'll be ready for you, Zin.
You can bet on that.
[GROWLING AND YAPPING]
That's right, Bandit.
That's exactly what
I was going to say.
