01x11 - Ghostfinger - High Brow

[bunniefuu]

From out of the pages of DC Comics comes

the world's newest and greatest

superhero, Plastic Man. He

can spring, he can stretch,

he can fly, he can bounce,

he can change his shape,

and he can even dance.

Each week, Plastic Man will face the

world's greatest. this collection of

villains.

There's action. There's

comedy.

There's danger.

There's penny. There's bad luck

hula. There's plenty

for everybody on the Plastic Man Comedy

Adventure Show.

Eat your heart out, hate man!

Make me spend my last years in

prison. They never figured I'd come

back. Never.

But I have. I've come back from the great

beyond, and they underestimate the power

of Ghost Finger.

And I am going to even the score, but no

one must ever know what I'm going to do.

No one must know, for it's far too

evil.

But I need a machine that a scientist

is working on in the US, and I'm going to

get it, and him too.

A few more days' work and my time machine

will be perfected. Hmm,

I thought I locked these.

No, no, please stay away. I've been

on this case two weeks, and now I've got

to move.

Oh, wow, Dr. Fenwick is in trouble.

Oh, it's it's Ghost Finger.

Oh, dear. My old boyfriend

always said if I needed any help, to call

him. And boy, do I need help on this

one.

And this is the time I stop Computer Head

on that volcanic island.

Remember that one?Oh, how could I ever

forget, Plas?You were...

wonderful Plas. I know you

can handle your villains, but how

are you at handling a woman?Oh, I can

handle a woman. Oh, Plaz, please

show me. Sure. Hey, Hola, bring that

reel showing how I defeated Disco Mummy.

Oh. It's right here, Plaz.

Come on, you.

Hula, just once I'd like to see you leave

your bad luck at home. I always wanted to

be in the movies, but this is ridiculous.

Someone's calling. Maybe I'm finally

getting lucky. For once, it's not the

chief. I'll answer it, Hula. You help

Plaz. Sally Jones to

Plastic Man. Do you read me?That's my old

girlfriend, Sally. She's a private eye.

HmmHello, Sally. What's up?Oh,

Plastic Man. Am I glad I got you. I

need your help. A scientist, Dr.

Fenwick, has been kidnapped by Ghost

Finger. Ghost

Finger?Yeah, a real live

ghost. A ghost?But that's impossible.

There is no such thing. But I saw him.

You got to help me find Dr. Fenwick. It

means my job. OK, Sally, we'll notify the

chief and pick you up. Oh, thank you,

Plaz. I'll be waiting.

Ola, what are her coordinates?HmmLet

her keep her coordinates. Class,

you know, it would save a lot of jet fuel

if we didn't stop for Sally. We've got a

full tank. Oh, but the extra weight could

throw us off balance. Why, this jet can

handle over 10 tons. Penny, if I didn't

know you better, I'd say you didn't want

Sally along. Oh, what class?

What on earth ever gave you that idea?

So I was hired to protect Dr. Fenwick

after the Science Institute got word that

Ghost Finger was back. But what's he up

to?Well, the only thing I know is that he

has some kind of master plan involving

Fenwick's time machine.

It's the Chief. Hi,

Chief. We've been doing some research on

Ghost Finger, and our records indicate

that when he was living, he was

imprisoned in England for evil

experiments. What kind of experiments,

Chief?That, we don't know. But we've

come up with the location of a castle on

Ghost Finger's private island. Great,

Chief. We'll head for his island and I'll

contact you the minute this case is

solved. Good. Then I shouldn't be hearing

from you for months.

The Chief has such confidence in me.

Hurry! Hurry!The midnight

hour is almost here. It's finished.

Good, goodNow I can use this

time machine to help me bring back the

ghosts of monsters past.

For only with their help can I wreak

vengeance from the ancestors of the

English judge who imprisoned me.

Dear Doctor, after I'm joined by my

ghostly friends, we'll take a little trip

to England, and you stay locked in the

cell forever!

According to the directions, this is the

island. Why do I have to

get all the spooky cases?Yeah, maybe

you and I should wait in the jet. Oh,

that's a great idea. And I'll go with

class. No, we're all in this together,

and we've got to rescue Dr. Fenwick. Come

on.

Now, to transport my monster

friends from the past. Wait, my ghostly

mind has picked up intruders. It's that

bumbling private eye, and she's brought

help. I'll have to take care of them

first.

This place gives me the Willies. Me too,

Hula. But there's nothing to worry about.

Yes, Hula, there's nothing to worry

about. Ghost Finger will take care of

everything.

How about a little haunting experience?

Ghost Finger, prepare to meet Plastic

Man. You're slipping, Plastic

Man. If I can't

grab you, I'll cover you.

You can't hold a ghost, but I can hold

you. Help!

Help I hate that

tree to grab. Do you like your little

tree house, or would you prefer a

basement?

It's a long way down. Hope you enjoy the

trip. That's one

ghost I take off my Christmas list. Oh,

Plas, you've got to get us out of this

bog. Don't go anywhere. I've got an idea.

Grab hold!

Away from me! Please, wait for--

I'll get you, Sally.

Thanks, Plas.

And Ghost Finger's not playing trick or

treat. He really means business, and

he certainly gave us the business. Let's

just hope we can make it to Ghost

Finger's castle so we can rescue Dr.

Fenwick. And the fastest way is to split

up. Sally will go with Penny and Hula

will go with Sally. Uh, no, noHula will

go with me and Sally, and Penny will go

with Hula and me. No, wait a minute.

Hula and Sally will go with me, and Penny

will go with Hula and Sally. No, Penny

and Sally. I've got a better idea, class.

Why don't the girls go one way and the

guys go the other?Well, that's fine with

me, but I don't see why you have to

complicate everything. Now that

I've got those meddling fools out of the

way, I can call my ghostly friends from

the past.

The date is set.

Oh, great spirit of the ghostly past.

I need 2 ghosts and they must last.

Those two I need for my master plan.

Please appear wolf monster and

abominable snowman.

Success. Now I can carry out my plan

with these evil monsters.

They'll do a fine job.

Penny, you know what?WhatAs scary

as this case is, I know we can handle it.

Just stay with me. Oh, I will,

I willDon't worry, I will. Oh,

either the night got darker or I pulled a

blunder. If I know me, the night

didn't get darker. Oops,

sorry. Hey, what do you know?

I'm in a cave, and there's a tunnel

leading somewhere.

Sally, it's only me, Penny.

Oh, boy. You scared me. What are you

doing in this cave?I made a wrong turn,

but I found a tunnel. Oh, let's

follow it. But I'm keeping my video radio

handy just in case.

This place is so desolate, even a chief

would look good to me now. She always

looks good to me. Hey, Plaz, look,

there's Ghost Fingers Castle. You're

right, Hula. But we've got to cross this

gorge, and we need a bridge for that.

When we get to the other side, I'll radio

the girls. Oh,

no, after all our walk in a

dead end. Oh, wow. Am I

exhausted?

Where are we?I don't know, but I'd better

radio blast.

Oh no!

How nice of you to join us.

Just in time for supper. And my

friends haven't had a meal in over



Now I'll contact the girls.

Plastic Man to Penny, do you read me?

Penny, come in. This is Plaz. There's no

answer. That's right. And my homing

device indicates that the girls are at

the castle. We better get there fast. And

the fastest way is giant steps.

Hop on my back. Right, Plaz.

Let's go.

I'm sure Ghost Finger will forgive us if

we don't use a key.

Stay very quiet. Don't worry about me,

Plaz. Sorry,

Plaz, just my luck.

Wait, I heard something. Intruders

somewhere in the castle. Stop. Tend to

them later. You've got to help me get the

intruders. Oh, boy, that was

close.

I just hope we find the girls before

Ghost Finger finds us.

What are you doing, Plaz?I'm checking to

see if this is one of those revolving

fireplaces. Don't be ridiculous. You only

see those on TV. Come on,

class, we've got to find the girls. I

know where they are. Well, why didn't you

say so before?They

will be sorry when my monsters get

through with them. Uh

oh, looks like Hola needs my help.

Those fools.

I'm too young to go.

I should have known they're ghosts.

The ghosts got me. You

ghosts did well. Now we'll lock him up

with the rest. Plaz. Plaz, where are

you?His plastic friend probably fled into

the jungle.

Good thing I wasn't spotted. Now I can

follow them. Well, at least you girls are

all right. Yes, but where's Blair?I don't

know, but I'm sure he's going to get us

out of here. Those mortal creatures will

have to wait. We've got more important

work to tend to. I must check a

mansion in England.

The ancestors of the judge who imprisoned

me, but he he wears the pendant, the

one thing that can stop me. But the

pendant will not affect the monsters, so

they will bring the ancestor back here

where he will stay locked in a cell just

like they did to me.

Come, we've got a life to ruin.

So that's Ghost Finger's master plan.

I wish Plaz was here to help us. Hi,

guys. Plastic Man. Boy, did I

miss you. You mean, we missed

him. All I know is we better get you guys

out of here. That lock's rusted solid, so

no use using a key.

OK, Hoola, turn my handle to pry open the

bars. It's working.

Now we've got to get to England and stop

Ghost Finger. We'll

take Dr. Fenwick back home on our way to

England, but we'll have to keep the time

machine so we can send those ghosts back.

That's England down below. Okay, Penny,

let's head for the mansion. Luck is with

us. We're almost there. You forgot I'm

with you. Luck!

Ghost Finger's monsters. Ghost Finger

must be aware we're following him and

send his ghost after us. Class,

I'm putting her full grottle.

We can't lose him. Something's stopping

the jet.

The monsters have grabbed us.

I'll have to get us free.

Hi, guys.

I think these guys got up on the wrong

side of the coffin this morning.

But they can't hold me. Uh-oh, how

long can you get?Grabby creatures, aren't

they?Contact with these ghosts

are draining my plastic powers.

Those monsters are taking place.

I'm too weak to get out.

We've got to save Press. He'll snap in

two like an old rubber band.

Taking in the sights?Not exactly,

Chief. Actually, I'd prefer the London

Tower. You just better capture

Ghostfinger. You're starting to stretch

my patience. You think

your patience is being stretched?Now

save yourself and get back on the case.

And that's an order.

I like it when the chief is so firm.

We've got to help Claus regain his

strength. Sally just made some of a

homemade soup. Maybe it'll work. I'll

activate the jet's telescoping device.

Sally's homemade soup. My strength's

returning.

Sally, your soup did it. I've regained my

strength. If you ask me, I think the

soup needed a little salt. Hurry, Penny.

We've got to get to the mansion.

There he is. But his pendant keeps me

away. Rip his pendant away and bring him

to me.

Ghosts. No, you can't.

Ghost finger, you've come back.

Yes. And now you'll pay for what your

relatives did to me.

I'm going down and I'm taking the time

machine with me. I'll land the jet and

we'll meet you inside. Now we're going to

take a little trip to my island. Your

trip has just been delayed, Ghost Finger.

Ah, I see you didn't learn your lesson,

plastic weird one. Take care of him for

good.

We'll help you, Plas. We'll throw this

rug over the ghosts. Wait, you two. Plas,

he's standing

on... No! Plaz has been sent into

the future. And all because of my

bad luck. And my bungling.

Thank you for helping me get rid of

Plastic Man. Now

finishing you three will be

easy. I'm gonna try and get

Plaz back.

I don't know how, but I did it. But the

ghosts have got Penny and Hula.

No problem at all. I know just what todo.

Here it is. Ickety bickety moo,

doolacky boo. This chant will make me

able to handle those ghosts. Now they're

gonna get it. Ickety bickety moo,

doolacky boo.

Impossible!How was he able to grab

my ghosts?

Just like this.

Now we'll send those ghosts back to the

dark past where they belong. Good work,

Penny. That's the last we've seen of

Ghost Finger. Plus, I got to ask you one

thing. How on earth did you know where to

get that book?Simple, Hula. When I was

sent into the future, I quickly read a

history book that told me how Plastic Man

defeated Ghost Finger. So you knew just

what you were going to do. Right. That's

my place. Oh,

he is dreamy.

Don't fight, girls. There's enough for

both of you.

Another case solved, and Sally's well on

her way to being a crack private eye.

Just as long as she doesn't have a

private eye on you. My penny,

I think you're jealous.

Hate to break up your lover's quarrel,

but I wanted to congratulate you on

getting Ghost Finger. Gee, thanks, Chief.

And one more thing. Yes, Chief?Did that

future history book tell you if you ever

lost an assignment?Gosh, Chief, you know

I never did well in history.

Three o'clock, right on time.

Tell them to make the pickup now.

Right, Padbrow. The boss says

go.

Now this is what I call a train.

Fastest in the world without a doubt.

I guess we got an escort.

Perfect. Tell them to reel in theircatch.

What in tarnation is happening?

One more little train for the collection.

Soon I'll control all the great trains of

the world. Anyone who wants to ride them

will have to pay me.

This is certainly hot work, Plato.

Hmm

Could use a bit more salt.

Borrow the salt?Sure.

Thanks. It's the Chief. Hi,

Chief. What's up?The

Transcontinental Unlimited, to be

specific. HuhIt was lifted off the

track during its experimental

cross-country run. The whole train?The

whole train. Wow! Got any idea who

did it?We know exactly who did it. It was

a diabolically clever and somewhat mad

criminal known as Highbrow. And your

job... is to catch him. He's as good as

caught. Oh, chief, just one more thing.

Where do we find Highbrow?Since no one

knows where a secret hideout is, you have

to figure out where he'll strike next.

This is gonna take another of my

brilliant pieces of deduction.

We must have been through every travel

brochure in the shop, class. Just what

are we looking for?Well, so far, Highbrow

has snatchedfive internationally renowned

trains. My guess is that his next target

will be equally famous. Ohh But which

one?Hey, look at this!

I think you've got it, Hula. I do?The

most famous train in the world is the

Disorient Express. That must be

Highbrow's next target, and we'll be

waiting for him.

Mother of Maui, this is some

place. May I help you with

your bag?Uh, no

thanks. I still don't know why you just

didn't buy a ticket like everyone else.

If Highbrow suspects I'm on the train,

it'll scare him off. There's something

strange about that fellow. There is

something strange about those two. Keep

an eye on them, Plato.

Sorry, Plas. OK, just watch it

next time. What do we do next, Plas?

If I'm white, and I usually am, Highbrow

will be making his move soon. You two go

into the dining car and see if you spot

anything suspicious, and bring me back a

sandwich.

What do you think Plas meant by

suspicious?I don't know. This

whole train looks like something out of a

Hitchcock movie.

Could I recommend the special of the

day?Haven't we seen you someplace before?

I doubt it. But then, on the

Disorient Express, everyone looks

like everyone else.

Bring us two of the specials. Well, enjoy

your meal. It may be a last.

For quite a while.

Now that's what I call a suspicious

character. And he looks so familiar.

This must be the plants.

Take it easy. What?Who said that?

I am. It's impossible.

Suitcases can't talk. Well, they

can if you're Plastic Man. Meet

the blabber, what's happening?I think we

found our train robber.

He's locked the door, but that won't stop

me.

Not even Plastic Man can get through that

door.

drive special delivery. You

don't want me. I'm just born. Oh,

highbrow, no doubt. I think I'm beginning

to see the light. Mother of

Maui. We're in a tunnel.

And I don't think we're alone.

Have I seen you somewhere else?It's the

train conductor. And the ship. Permit

me to introduce myself,

Highbrow, at your service. Well,

I don't know what your evil scheme is,

Highbrow, but you're not getting away

with it. Oh, but I already

have. Sweet dreams, meddling people.

dump everyone off the train but plastic

man. I have a treat in store for that

stretchable spring bean.

We've got a fine place. We've been

walking all night, and we don't even know

if we're going in the right direction.

Armit, my old camel driving buddy.

Hula Hula, what brings you to this

miserable spot on the globe?We're looking

for some stolen trains and a plastic

superhero. Not to worry, I

think I can help you. Leave it to Hula

Hula to have a friend in the desert. I

only hope we're not too late to help

players. You don't

really think you're going to get away

with this, do you?But of course.

Eyebrow always gets away with it. Well,

since I was a child, I loved the

railroad. And soon I will have all the

famous trains of the world. People will

have to pay me a fortune to ride in

them. The old train game, huhNo, my

dear Plastic Man, I'm afraid Plater and

I will be leaving you.

oh I hope you realize this could end our

friendship. Try not to spread

yourself too thin.

Nice if your friend will lend us his

camel. According to Ahmed, Highbrow's

secret hideout should be right over the

next ridge.

Oh, no! We're too late!

Holy Hawaii! We've gotta get down there

fast!

Eyebrow tied my hands in knots, but he

overlooked my feet.

Oh, players, you're all right!

Naturally, Penny. But where's Highbrow?

They went thataway, in the Disorient

Express locomotive. We've got to catch

him before he gets away and grabs the

Freedom Train. But how?The camel will

never catch a train. Like I always

say, it takes a train to catch a train.

Oh, and one more thing. Uh, could you

untie me?

Uh, the taste of the wind in your face is

exhilarating, uh, Plato!Yes,

exhilarating. Uh, boss, I

hate to mention it, but I think we're

being followed. It's Plastic

Man. That elastic fool has more

lives than a black cat. Pour on the

steam, Play-Doh.

I think they spotted us.

Then what we need is more speed.

umm Blast, he's gaining on us. Uh, but

this will slow him down. That

boulder, I gotta stop the train.

Looks like you've reached the end of your

line, highbrow.

It wasn't a total fiasco, Plastic

Man. You did catch Highbrow. And

return the trains to their rightful

owners. Not all the trains. The Disorient

Express is still missing. Nothing to

worry about, Chief. The Disorient Express

is right on schedule. But... Where

there's a will, there's a way.
