- [Narrator] This is the embassy

of the tiny country of Baklava.

It serves as the shrine
of the Golden Spider God.

It is worshiped
by the Baklavians,

for it remains a force of peace,

although they are surrounded
by warring powers.

- How long will the Golden
Spider be on display?

Is this the first time
it's been out of Baklava?

This guy would be terrific
on "I've Got a Secret."

- How much is the
Golden Spider worth?

- To those who
believe, everything,

more than life itself.

- Wow.

That much, huh?

- I think I know
what you can get me

for my birthday, Lori.

[ElectraCom whirring]

- Something's up at ElectraBase.

- Sounds like trouble.
- Yeah.

- [Narrator] Trouble
indeed, Judy,

for the Golden Spider is not
the only spider in the embassy.

[ominous music]

[transition whirs]

[Spider Lady laughing]

- It goes well, Spider Lady?

- Beautifully, Spinner.

The Golden Spider
will be mine this day,

and Electra Woman
will steal it for me.

[Spider Lady laughs]

Come, we must set the traps.

[Spider Lady laughs]

[transition whirs]

[dramatic music]

- What's up, Frank?

- More fun and games?

- Yeah, yes, this is, or
this will be the Electra-X.

It's in its final
stages of development.

- Show us what it can do.

- All right, if you'll just
punch up the basic program

with a variable 113 minus X grid

on the CrimeScope computer.

[computer beeping]

- There we go, Professor.

[Electra-X beeping]

- This should come
in handy in the event

you have to search
a place in a hurry.

- Talk about getting
the inside scoop!

- Great gimmick for Halloween!

- I still have to
flesh out the details,

but soon I'll have it on
a micro cylinder model

to attach to your ElectraComs.

- Terrific.

But you didn't bring us
all the way back here

just to show us this.

[computers beeping]

- That's right, there uh,

there was something else.

[transition whirs]

- [Narrator] In a hidden
chamber far below the embassy,

the Spider Lady
spins her evil web.

[ominous music]

- Come into my parlor.

Ah!

- We've done as you
asked, Spider Lady.

The trap is set.

- Good.
[Spider Lady laugh]

Now we have but to wait for
Electra Woman and Dyna Girl

to leap at the bait.

[Spider Lady laughs]

- The bait, Spider Lady?

- The Golden Spider!

Electra Woman will
find, however,

that a much more deadly
spider awaits her.

My little lovelies.

Oh, my little beauties,
there you are.

[transition whirs]

- The Spider Lady!

- Yes, CrimeScope informs us

she's smuggled her
way into the country.

- Oh, that's easy for her.

She's a master of disguise.

- Isn't she the one who escaped

with the crown
jewels of Kowloon?

- Right, disguised as
the prince himself.

- Electra-tricky!

- Strange that she would arrive

the same time as
the Golden Spider.

- Do you think?

- Right, maybe not so strange.

Come on, Dyna Girl, we're
going back to the embassy.

[upbeat music]
[computers beeping]

[transition whirs]

- [Narrator] Arriving
at the embassy,

our heroines cautiously
approached the entrance.

[tense music]

- Okay, Dyna Girl, let's
not take any chances.

- Right, I'm
activating ElectraScan.

[scan whirring]

Hey, Electra Woman, we're
picking up something.

- Right, and I've got a
feeling it's something for us.

Put your Electra-Force Shield
on standby, just in case.

- Already done.

[gong crashes]
Electra-wow, spiders!

[upbeat music]

No doubt leading us to
the Spider Lady's web.

- I'll go after that one.
- And I'll take that one.

Watch yourself.

- Electra-Beam, do your stuff!

[beam whirring]

[spider panting]

- Hold it!

Stop!

Now you can't escape!

[Electra Woman yelps]

[Spider Lady laughs]

- What was that about
escape, Electra Woman?

- So we meet again.

You'll excuse me for
not shaking hands.

- Ah, Spider Lady.

What a tangled web you weave.

- Well of course, Leggs.

What did you expect?

- [Narrator] A
tangled web indeed.

Electra Woman is unable
to reach ElectraCom,

and seems at the mercy
of the Spider Lady.

[gong crashes]

Electra Woman is trapped
in Spider Lady's web.

- I have special plans
for you, Electra Woman.

- And we have
plans for you, too.

- Spider Lady, her hands!

- Now with just a quick
adjustment of my ElectraComs.

[alarm blaring]
[tense music]

Dyna Girl, Dyna Girl.

Come in, Dyna Girl.

- Yes, Electra Woman.

I've captured one of
Spider Lady' henchman,

and he's not planning to
go anywhere for a while.

- [Electra Woman]
Good work, Dyna Girl.

I'm on the trail of
Spider Lady herself.

- Keep in touch.

- I'll write every day.

[upbeat music]

- Welcome to my
parlor, Electra Woman.

- Said the Spider
Lady to the fly,

and the fly said to Spider Lady,

your days of crime are over.

- Oh, we'll see about that.

Leggs.

[Spider Lady laughs]

Yes, haha.

My thanks to your
Electra-Force Shield,

because now you are my prisoner,

and you are going to steal
the Golden Spider for me.

[Spider Lady laughs]

- You know better than
that, Spider Lady.

Nothing in this world
could make me do that.

- Well, we'll see about
that now, won't we?

Leggs my pets, Leggs.

[Leggs chuckling]

[eerie music]

Come, my hungry beauties.

We have a feast for you, haha.

Ooh, my little darlings.

Oh, my pretties, haha, yes.

- If you think you can scare me

into stealing the
Golden Spider for you,

you are sadly mistaken.

- Ha, scare you into
stealing the Golden Spider?

Why Electra Woman, how
you misjudge me, watch.

[tense music]

[Spider Lady laughs]

Yes!

[Spider Lady laughs]

[energy whirring]

- Looks aren't
everything, Spider Lady.

Dyna Girl will know it's you

the moment you open your mouth.

- I wouldn't be
too sure of that.

My zerograph is the
ultimate duplicator.

- You've even
duplicated my voice!

- And your walk, and every
one of your mannerisms

down to the smallest detail.

No one will realize that
I am the Spider Lady.

And now, I'm sure you're
anxious to meet my pets.

[Spider Lady laughs]

[transition whirs]

- Electra Woman, Dyna
Girl, please come in.

Where are you?
[static crackling]

- Right here, Hef.

I've got a new hobby,
a spider collection.

- Dyna Girl, where
is Electra Woman?

She doesn't respond.

- She's off on the
trail of Spider Lady.

I'm sure she can handle herself.

- I hope you're
right, Dyna Girl,

but it's not like her to
ignore the ElectraCom signal.

[transition whirs]

- Frank's been
trying to reach you.

I was beginning to think
you might be in trouble.

- Electra Woman in trouble?

I've merely had my hands full,

trying to get this
two-legged spider

to lead me to Spider Lady.

- I haven't been
able to get anything

out of this one, either.

What should we do with 'em?

- I'm afraid we'll
have to let them go.

- Let them go?

But, you-

- Well, as far as we know, they
haven't done anything wrong.

- Well, I guess you're right.

[ElectraCom beeps]

[both sigh]

[tense music]

- And now, we'd better
head back to ElectraBase.

- But you said we should keep
our eye on the Golden Spider!

Oh, I get it.

You mean we should go back

to see if Professor Heflin
has the new Electra-X Ready?

- Yes, right, that's it.

We'll have to pick
up the new Electra-X.

Yes, it may come in handy.

Now, you go and
pick up ElectraCar,

and bring it around in front.

I'll wait for you right here.

- You're putting me on.

You've never let me
drive ElectraCar.

- Well, I think it's about time

you learn to take
over the controls.

You can never tell when it
may really be necessary.

- Right, I'll meet
you out in front.

- Great.

[transition whirs]

- [Narrator] As the
unsuspecting Dyna Girl

races toward ElectraBase

with the cunningly
disguised Spider Lady.

[dramatic music]

[transition whirs]

The spiders are moving
ever closer to their prey.

Will our superheroine
manage to escape

the Spider Lady's trap?

- [Narrator] We'll
find out what happens

to Electra Woman and
Dyna Girl in part two,

after these messages.

[tense music]

[computers beeping]

- Hi, Frank.

- Hello there, hello.

[tense music]
[computers beeping]

You all right, Electra Woman?

- Yes, yes I just, I have
the strangest feeling that,

well that the ElectraBase
might be in trouble.

- ElectraBase?
- No way!

- Oh right, I guess
it is invulnerable.

The Electric-X Frank,
is it ready yet?

- You mean the Electra-X?

Yeah, it's ready and right
here in this micro cylinder.

Now you just insert this
into your ElectraComs,

then push up the basic sequence

with a variable one

- The basic sequence,
right, yeah, well I'll just,

oh, I'm sorry, I am
really butterfingers.

- Just watch where you step,

don't step on it,
whatever you do.

- [Spider Lady] Maybe
it rolled over here

behind the CrimeScope.

- [Narrator] And so it seems
that Spider Lady's plan

is going much too well,

as she plants her
destructive spider device

behind CrimeScope.

While, back in her hideout,

the hungry spiders move
closer to their prey.

- Poor, hungry tarantulas.

They've been
starved for so long.

I fear it'll take so much
to satisfy their appetites.

[spiders laughing]

[transition whirs]

- It wasn't back
there, Professor.

- Well, don't worry about
it, I'll find it later.

I've given a spare to Dyna Girl.

- Our own portable X-ray
to see through anything!

Hold it, Electra Woman,
you're on candid-

- Wait, Dyna Girl.

- What's the matter?

It's perfectly harmless.

- Oh, yes.

I just, I think a little
caution is advisable,

at least until the
attachment is perfected.

- Is there something-

- Look Professor,
the Spider Lady's

not going to wait
forever to make her move.

- Yes, yes, you're right.

You'd better get back to
the embassy in a hurry.

- Yeah, come on Dyna Girl.

[tense music]

[transition whirs]

- Well Electra Woman, what
can be keeping Dyna Girl?

- Could it be she
has not yet seen

through Spider Lady's disguise?

Soon, it will be too late.

- It's not over yet.

There's still CrimeScope.

[transition whirs]

- Electra Woman,
what's happening?

- [Narrator] Back at
ElectraBase, Heflin
remains unaware

that Spider Lady has
left another evil spider

to do its dastardly work.

[tense music]

- Oh no, you'd better
wait here, Dyna Girl,

and be sure to use the Electra-X

on anybody who approaches.

Now Spider Lady could
be in any disguise,

even the most unlikely ones.

- Right.
- Good.

- Ah, be careful.

Don't get caught
in any sticky webs.

[transition whirs]

[upbeat music]

- Electra Woman, I am honored.

- We've been alerted
that Spider Lady

may attempt to steal
the Golden Spider God.

I'm going to have to
move it to a safer place.

- But I was given no
such instructions.

But surely, it will
be safe with you.

- I assure you, it's as
valuable to me as it is to you.

[ominous music]

- [Narrator] It seems
that Spider Lady

will have succeeded
in two places,

because, at that very moment.

[transition whirs]

[computers beeping]

[smoke hissing]
[intense music]

[explosions booming]
- What, what's going?

What do, who's,
what's happening?

[explosions booming]

What's gone wrong?

[explosions booming]

[transition whirs]

[tense music]

[ElectraCom whirring]

- What's up, Frank?

- It's CrimeScope,
we've been sabotaged.

I think we're going to lose-

[static crackling]

- Power!

Sabotage?

But who could have
gotten into CrimeScope?

- [Spider Lady] I think
we'd better head back

to ElectraBase.

- [Dyna Girl] But you said
we should keep our eye

on the Golden Spider.

- [Spider Lady] The Electric
X, Frank, is it ready?

- [Frank] You mean
the Electra-X.

- Oh, Electra-wow!

No wonder Electra Woman
has been acting so strange.

She's got to be the
Spider Lady in disguise.

But, what has she done
with Electra Woman?

- [Narrator] So, the Spider
Lady has put CrimeScope

out of commission.

But what about Electra Woman,

held c*ptive in the forcefield
of her own ElectraCom?

- Of course!

Thank you, Spider Lady.

- Spider Lady has
tricked herself.

- Exactly, by knocking
out CrimeScope,

she destroyed the
Electra-Force Shield

that held me prisoner.

- We've gotta stop her.

Remember, she's lost her power.

- No, still she is
too much for us.

Let Spider Lady deal with her.

[transition whirs]

[tense music]

- Dyna Girl, oh terrific.

The monk just asked me to
take the Golden Spider idol

back to ElectraBase.

- The masquerade is
over, Spider Lady.

- What?

Dyna Girl, are you all right?

The Spider Lady was right here.

She was disguised as the monk.

I got here just in
time to keep her

from stealing the golden idol.

- Knock it off,
you Electra-phony!

- [Narrator] Electra
Woman frantically searches

for Dyna Girl.

- The Electra-X.

If only my ElectraCom
were working.

How did you manage to
knock out CrimeScope?

- Look, we're wasting time.

Now, we've got to
get out of here.

[tense music]

- Put down the
idol, Spider Lady.

- Electra Woman!

Electra Woman?

- It's me, Dyna Girl.

- But she said she was!

- A fantastic zerograph
machine, Dyna Girl.

Worthy of our own
Professor Heflin.

- No, Dyna Girl, no,
I am Electra Woman!

Look at me, look at me closely!

- Electra-wow!

I, I just don't know.

- Give up, Spider Lady.

You made your mistake when
you knocked out CrimeScope.

- This, this is
r-r-r-ridiculous!

I-
- Electra-ridiculous!

If you really are Electra Woman,

what's Frank's middle name?

[Spider Lady gasping]

- All right, Spider Lady.

[Spider Lady gasping]

Okay, Dyna Girl,
Frank's middle name is-

[Spider Lady wailing]

- What's going on?

- It looks like the
masquerade is over.

- Electra-wow!

[transition whirs]

[computers beeping]

- Finally, huh?

[computer beeping]

Electra Woman,
Dyna Girl, come in.

Electra Woman, Dyna Girl!

[ElectraComs beeping]

Electra Woman,
Dyna Girl, come in!

- We hear you, Frank,
loud and clear.

- Did I ever tell you what
a beautiful voice you have?

- Well, I always wanted to be

a news announcer on television.

Will you cut that out?

Now go find Spider Lady,

you're working on a
limited power source.

- We're on our way, Frank.

Come on, Dyna Girl.

[upbeat music]

Oh, oh, sorry about that, ma'am.

- Hurry, Dyna Girl,

Spider Lady's still
around here somewhere.

- Yeah, and probably
in some sort of-

- Disguise!
- Disguise!

Electra-wow!

That old lady!

Electra-X, you're on.

[beam whirring]

[tense music]

- Guess who.

- And I gave her back her
package, electra-dumb!

[Electra Woman laughs]

[energy whirring]

[Spider Lady laughs]

- Yes!
[Spider Lady laughs]

- Electra-Beam on!

[beam whirring]

[Spider Lady gasps]

- My idol!

You've taken my
Golden Spider God,

but you won't get
the Spider Lady.

[Spider Lady laughs]

- She's heading for the roof.

[upbeat music]

[computer beeping]

- Going up!

Lady's clothing,
housewares, rooftops, and...

- And Spider Ladies.

[gong crashes]

- Caught you in your
own web ability.

[Spider Lady gasps]

[tense music]

[transition whirs]

Isn't that terrific, Heflin?

- We made the cover
story on "Newsmakers."

- And how about
that prison uniform?

That's the Spider Lady's
best disguise of all.

- Let me see that,
let me see that.

Spider Lady captured
by superheroines.

Superheroines, anyone we know?

- [Both] Why, Frank!

You made a funny.

[both laugh]

[upbeat music]
