-Try again!

Keep sending that distress call!

-It's no good!

Whoever's attacking us is jamming the radio!

Who'd want to attack an oil drilling rig?

-Emergency shutdown!

Stop the pumps!

Abandon the drilling platform!

All personnel evacuate at once!

-What in the--

-Get us outta here!

-Leaving so soon?

Such a pity you cannot stay,

to witness the greatest ocean disaster

the earth has ever seen!

-Enough!

Do not destroy the oil rig yet.

Find the control room!

Restart the pumps!

Release the oil,

but slowly.

I want to watch the ocean bleed black!

-Another oil spill.

Again the creatures of the sea are in danger.

Hold tight, my friends of the sea.

-Excellent.

Now, open the storage tank valves!

Release the rest of the oil!

The trap is nearly set.

And when the bait is taken,

the earth will be in my hands!

-No, Ming!

The only thing you'll have in your hands

is a white flag of surrender!

-Very good.

Stay, and play your games.

I have more important work elsewhere!

-Now, there's something you don't see every day,

Ming, the Merciless running from a fight?

-Squadron of roboships, three o'clock!

-Flash, look below!

-We've gotta get down there

and stop 'em from spilling any more oil!

-Leave that to me!

The main heating unit filled with hot water!

-Good work, Phantom, old buddy!

That's the end of the robots and fires

but not this oil spill.

-But why would Ming want to do this?

I thought he wanted to rule the earth, not destroy it.

-I've already called Dynac to alert the authorities, but--

-Yes.

I hope we're not too late!

-Father, look!

-Jedda, your telepathic power.

Warn the other fish away!

-I call upon all in the sea, hear me.

Father, something strange is happening!

They hear only the voice of someone else,

a man.

And he, he's already warning them!

-Friends of the sea!

There is great danger!

Beware of man's black death!

Go! Go from here!

-You?

-Phantom, you know that guy?

-Doctor Maurice Kahram,

the world's foremost marine biologist.

-Emergency! Emergency!

Second giant oil disaster. LocationNorth Sea.

Return to monitor, immediately!

-Another one?

-But Oceanus is protected

by powerful security devices.

It is covered with traps!

My Lord Ming, no one can enter unless Doctor Kahram allows it.

-Octon, there is no cause for concern.

Doctor Kahram will not attack me.
[ … ]

But he will give me

his telepathy transmission device.

He will gladly give me what I want.

-You are invading the city of Oceanus!

Leave now, or be destroyed!

-This I do alone.

-Leave, leave at once!

This is your final warning!

-But I need your help!

Humanity needs your help!

The oceans face total destruction!

I bring you the proof!

Of course,

If you do not wish to save the seas

from certain death.

-I will grant you ten minutes.

-That is far enough.

-Forward. I shall stay behind you.

-As you wish, Doctor.

-And as the recent series of oil disasters

tragically proves,

the oceans of the world are doomed

within less than one year.

-If only mankind had listened, while there was still time.

-But there is time!

Your telepathic transmitter.

-Yes?

-With my guidance,

you could use it to make the sea creatures

rulers of the oceans once more!

Together we could save humanity from itself!

-I have always feared it would come to this.

But I must help you.

-Your friends of the ocean shall rise up,

and drive mankind from the seas.

-Haul in the nets!

Sharks! They're all around us!

They're ramming the boat!

-The town council's complaining again

about our dumping waste into the sea.

-Who are they kidding?

If it weren't for us there'd be no town or town council!

I don't believe it!

-Emergency! All systems malfunctioning!

-The entire disposal system is clogged with fish!

-All those volatile chemicals, they'll explode!

-Evacuate the premises at once!

Evacuate the premises at once!

-Another emergency?

Dynac, what is it this time?

-Dynac, give us a report!

-Fish are attacking on and off-shore facilities

all over the world!

Every variety of sea-life,

even those that are natural enemies,

are attacking man's technology.

-Flash, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

-Exactly, Mandrake! Phantom's friend.

-Doctor Kahram!

Perhaps I should pay his one-man city a visit.

-Alert!

All sealife in a Sector is approaching

this experimental underwater food farm!

-Those people are fish bait!

Kshin, L.J., Zuff, hold down the fort!

The rest of you, let's go!

-Underwater farm must be evacuated!

Computations indicate

you will not win a fight against the fish!

-That's it,

build up my self-confidence!

-We are still a half-mile away from the food farm.

-Yeah?

What are these guys looking for, an early lunch?

-I have never seen sharks swim in such tight formation!

-Yes.

It is as if they were under someone's control!

-Got 'em in laser range.

-I can't do it.

-Flash, what are you saying?

-I can't hurt those creatures!

They aren't responsible!

Let's just get those people out of there!

-That may not be so easy! Look!

-Jedda, try to mind-link with them!

-Hear me, creatures of the deep!

Cease this attack!

It's no use!

Someone is still blocking my mind-link!

-Who could it be?

-Kahram! Kahram!

It is I, the Phantom!

-You are invading the city of Oceanus!

Leave now, or be destroyed!

-I am not leaving until I talk to you!

-Kahram, let me in!

I am your friend!

I must talk to you!

Kahram!

-Leave at once!
[ … ]

This is your final warning!

-That submarine is the workers' only ticket out of here!

Flash, do something!

-I'll scare 'em off, stun setting!

Too late!

And we'll never be able to fit all those people into Terry.

-Flash,

the dome will not withstand the pressure!

We must evacuate immediately!

I think it is time for an illusion!

-It worked, Mandrake! They're gone!

-Attention, Defenders!

An oil tanker in the mid-Atlantic

is in danger!

-Great timing!

Jedda and I will take Terry to the tanker,

but, unfortunately it will leave you two stranded!

-Ah, more good news.

- The Ghost who Walks calls forth the power of ten tigers!

-Hear me, great Leviathan!

Attack! Attack the tankers!

They are the carriers of man's black death!

-What on earth could have done that?

-I would say they were very angry.

Weighed about two hundred tons each

and heading straight for us!

-Kahram--

I'll find you no matter what!

The main control room!

Where are you, Kahram?

-Sorry, your old friend is not here to greet you!

-Ming! -I am in charge now.

Kahram is working for me!

[lunging]

-A hologram?

-But do not worry, Phantom!

Your search for Doctor Kahram is almost at its end!

[evil laugh]

-Oceanus!

What is happening to it?

-You can destroy Oceanus, Ming,

but you're not finished with me yet!

-Ming destroyed Oceanus?

And my friend the Phantom is in danger!

-I pray I am not too late!

-Jedda, you mind-link with the creature.

I will create supertanker illusions.

Together we will confuse the whales.

- Now, Mandrake, begin your illusions!

-How much longer?

-Not much longer.

The dome cannot take the stress.

-Stress. Yeah, I know the feeling!

-Kahram--

where is he?

The dome is still not destroyed!

Arise, most feared denizens of the deep,

arise, I command you attack!

-Phantom! Look out!

-I've no wish to be helped by one

who works for Ming!

-Not any longer, my friend!

-I would like to believe you!

-You must believe me!

Oceanus is Sinking!

My Oceanus gone forever!

It's all Ming's fault!

He seduced me with his lies!

-You are too intelligent!

You could never have been fooled so easily!

It was your choice!

-No!

It is mankind who is doing wrong!

k*lling the oceans with oil and chemicals.

-Your actions were equally irresponsible!

You did wrong.

-I will prove it.

I will set things right!

I am exhausted.

I can't.

-You must not falter,

those whales are losing their strength!

-Uh oh,

we've got company, Flash!

-Only one thing to do,

get everyone into the sub!

Okay, squid,

just take it easy and nobody will get hurt!

-Ventilation shafts!

-Stay back, Kahram.

-You are not the only one

with jungle training, my old friend!

Phantom, duck!

-Can't do it any longer!

-Jedda!

-Intruders, my Lord Ming!

-What? Who dares!

Let there be peace once more!

Cease all attacks immediately!

-Well,
[ … ]

I would say that was ah cutting it rather close,

Phantom.

[struggling]

-Thanks for the dance, Squid!

-Ice robots,

I'll blow up the transmitter!

-Wait. The dome's breaking up!

-Hear me, great squid!

Help those people!

-Overload sequence set!

-Phantom,

when I think how close I came to destroying this.

-The seas will only be saved

when all humanity works together.

-And with the help of the Defenders of the Earth,

this will happen!
