00:00And now, stand by for adventure.
00:15Three, two, one.
00:19In the exciting story of...
00:21A windy night.
00:32It's dawn at Colonel Bleep's Space Command Headquarters.
00:36And now, as deputies squeak and scratch prepare for the morning space patrol,
00:41Colonel Bleep scans the universe with his powerful radar scope,
00:46checking weather conditions along the patrol route.
00:50Space lanes of the moon, all clear.
00:54Space lanes of Mars, all clear.
00:58Space lanes of Saturn.
01:01Red alert. Space tornado. Space tornado.
01:06Carefully, Bleep marks a special detour on the space patrol flight plan.
01:12The detour Squeak and Scratch must follow to fly safely around this deadly tornado.
01:21Unknown to Bleep, however, the evil Black Knight has watched his every move.
01:29Look, the villain is stealing the space patrol flight plan and leaving another map in its place.
01:37This map does not show the safe detour route.
01:42Sizzling Saturn, if Bleep's deputies follow this flight plan,
01:48they'll fly straight into the center of that terrible tornado.
01:53And that will be the end of Squeak and Scratch.
01:59Ho, ho, ho.
02:05It's blast off time, and here comes Squeak with the flight map.
02:10Wait, fellas. Don't take that map.
02:14It will guide you straight to your doom.
02:18It's too late. They're off.
02:21Now Bleep returns to the radar scope to check once again on the raging storm.
02:28There it is, whirling about at tremendous speed.
02:33But hold on. A tiny space scooter has flashed into view.
02:38Great galaxies, it's Squeak and Scratch heading straight for the terrible twister.
02:44And look, right behind them is the evil Black Knight waiting safely out of range of the storm,
02:54watching our friends plunge headlong to destruction.
02:59In a flash, the colonel streaks off to aid his helpless deputies.
03:05But is there still time?
03:07Already the tiny scooter is out of control.
03:10Squeak and Scratch are trapped in a deadly whirlwind.
03:14In only seconds their scooter will be ripped to pieces.
03:18Is this the end for Bleep's courageous deputies?
03:23No, wait. There's still a chance.
03:29Here comes Colonel Bleep just in the nick of time.
03:35With his powerful gyro blades,
03:40he's plowing his way
03:44right through the howling tornado.
03:50But can the spaceman reach his trapped deputies in time?
03:57He didn't. Squeak and Scratch are saved.
04:02But now the colonel is determined not to let the Black Knight escape.
04:08In a flash, he circles behind the cowardly villain.
04:13With one more mighty whirl of his gyro blades,
04:18Bleep sends the culprit streaking off
04:22into the very center of the swirling tornado.
04:29And so the Black Knight has fallen into his own trap,
04:34which goes to prove it is indeed an ill wind which blows no good.
