The Friz’s class goes to a drive-in theater to see the black and white B-film Stand by Your Mantis from 1953 featuring General Araneus (Ed Asner) who is attempting to destroy a giant praying mantis. Carlos and Phoebe are not enjoying it: he hates insects and spiders, and she is upset and declares that if she were in the movie, she would trap the praying mantis, take it somewhere else, and free it. Naturally, this gives the Friz an idea. So she drives the bus into the movie. General Araneus takes over it, kidnaps Liz, and pushes a button that makes the class go back out of the movie and shrink. He wants to use Liz as bait for the praying mantis. Outside the movie, the class encounters a lot of spiders, and when Liz pushes a button that pulls them back into the movie, they apply what they have learned about spiders to stop General Araneus from using her as praying mantis bait.

00:02Seat belts everyone!
00:04Please let this be a normal field trip!
00:06With a frizz?
00:07No way!
00:08Cruisin' on our main street
00:10You're relaxin', feelin' good
00:12Next thing that you know you're seein'
00:16Octopus in my neighborhood
00:18Surfin' on a sound wave
00:20Swingin' through the stars
00:22Take a nap at your intestine
00:24Take your second right past Mars
00:26I'm a magic scuba huss
00:28Navigate a nostril
00:29Climb on the magic scuba
00:31Spank a plankton too
00:33On our magic scuba
00:36Wrap the river of lava
00:38On the magic scuba
00:40Such a fine thing to do
00:42So strap your bones right to the sea
00:45Come on in and don't be shy
00:47Just to make your day complete
00:49You might get baked into a pie
00:51On the magic scuba
00:52Step inside, it's a wild ride
00:55Come on!
00:57Right on the magic scuba
00:59It was a day...
01:08Like any other day
01:11Okay kids!
01:14Supper!
01:15Mmm, those look wonderful darling
01:18A playing mantis!
01:24It's not the mantis who should be praying
01:26It's the mom and dad
01:30That bug is so bogus
01:32No way I'd be scared
01:39According to my research
01:41Stand by your mantis came out in 1953
01:45Yeah, and the critics probably said get the exterminator
01:52You know Liz, this is my idea of a field trip
01:56That is totally unrealistic
01:58You don't catch an insect by blindfolding it
02:02And besides, there's no such thing as a 50 foot praying mantis
02:06And even if there were, you could trap it instead of trying to destroy it
02:19What's the matter Carlos?
02:20Not into insects?
02:22They're not my favorite thing in the world, okay?
02:25And what I really hate are...
02:27Spiders!
02:29AHHHHH!
02:30Wait, wait!
02:32Spiders aren't insects you know
02:34They have eight legs
02:35And insects only have six
02:38Here, I'll show ya
02:40Gotcha!
02:43See? It's an orb spider
02:46Yuck!
02:48Just because you love spiders
02:50Doesn't mean everyone does
02:55Hey Carlos, I thought you weren't scared of anything
02:59YIKES!
02:59What is that?
03:01Is it just me, or is it...
03:05Miss Frizzle
03:07Popcorn, anyone?
03:12Shhh! Look! The giant mantis is back!
03:16Honey, we just can't afford a skylight right now
03:22Never mind
03:23Awesome!
03:28This is General Arrhenius
03:30Let's get this son of a buck
03:32Prepare Operation Buckspread
03:38Fire!
03:45Eww!
03:46Disgusting!
03:55I guess that didn't work
03:57That was mean
03:59Surely there's a better way to catch a praying mantis than that
04:03There is no better way
04:05Don't call me sure
04:06Huh?
04:07If I were in that movie
04:09I'd trap the mantis
04:11Take it somewhere safe and let it go
04:13You'd trap it?
04:15Sounds like a plan to me
04:17Wait a minute!
04:18I thought coming to this movie was our field trip
04:22Correctamundo!
04:23All set, everyone?
04:28Woohoo!
04:30Where are we going, Miss Frizzle?
04:32Next stop...
04:33The silver screen!
04:38Now this is what I call a drive-in movie
04:43Hey!
04:45This is the same street the mantis was on
04:47And here's a piece of the blindfold
04:50We're in the movie?
04:53We're in the movie
04:55Then we've got to find General Arrhenius
04:58According to my film guide
05:00The first place we should look is the military command center
05:06As command centers go, mine was pretty rare
05:10Make that medium rare
05:15Nevertheless, it was the nerve center of operation
05:17Wash that mantis right out of my hair
05:19And send it on its way
05:22General?
05:24Call it instinct
05:25Call it sixth sense
05:27Call it woman's intuition
05:29General, where are you?
05:32General, where are you has been reassigned
05:34I'm in control here
05:36You can't kill the praying mantis
05:39Don't be so negative
05:42I'll get it
05:45What's going on?
05:47Hey!
05:47What's happening?
05:56Calm down mantis
05:58You know you don't really want to hurt anyone
06:05I guess it wanted onions on that burger
06:08Whoa!
06:11Oh bad!
06:12Oh bad!
06:13Oh bad!
06:14Bad!
06:15Do something Phoebe!
06:16Yeah, Phoebe
06:17Start trapping
06:18Well, uh, anyone have a 50 foot plastic cup?
06:23Phoebe, come on!
06:24You said you knew how to trap the mantis
06:27I think what we need is a professional bug trapper
06:31Well, as I always say
06:33Look to mother nature for the best of everything
06:36Good idea
06:37Where is she?
06:39Help!
06:42Help!
06:45To the bus!
06:51I hate to do this madam, but I'm commandeering this bus
06:55Yes sir!
06:58Now how do we start this thing?
07:14Does military intelligence know about this bus?
07:17What does this button do?
07:19Oh, I wouldn't press that button, General, if I were you
07:22How about this one?
07:24Uh uh
07:25Now what about this one?
07:27Well
07:34Whoa!
07:39We're falling out of the movie!
07:41Ow!
07:42Ow!
07:43Gotcha!
07:46Oh no!
07:47Listen, the bus are trapped in the movie!
07:50They're not the only ones who are trapped
07:53So are we!
08:03What are we gonna do?
08:05What are we gonna do?
08:05What are we gonna do?
08:07Get us out of here!
08:09This stuff is all sticky
08:12These lines down here aren't sticky
08:15But they sure are strong
08:18Come on, Carlos
08:20Give us a hand
08:22I know what makes a web like this
08:23A spider!
08:26Miss Frizzle
08:27I thought we were gonna find a professional trapper
08:30Not a trap
08:32Where is Miss Frizzle anyway?
08:37Here I am, class
08:38You know where I come from
08:40The best way to tap into a trapper
08:42Is to get wrapped in her trap
08:44If that fly isn't careful
08:46It's gonna get wrapped in a trap too
08:49Shoo fly!
08:51Doesn't it see the web?
08:52No it doesn't!
08:53It's headed right for it!
08:57Whoa!
08:58That fly never knew the web was there
09:00That's because the web is nearly invisible
09:02Bet that fly wishes he had stayed home today
09:05Arnold!
09:07I wonder where this line goes
09:09I wouldn't tug on that Keisha
09:12Spider!
09:13An orb spider actually
09:16You pulled on its signal line and told it dinner was ready
09:19Trapper trick number one
09:22Stay out of sight till your meal is stuck tight
09:25You mean spiders are the professional trappers?
09:29I don't wanna be spider food
09:32Help!
09:32Help!
09:33I'll cut some of these anchor lines
09:38Whoa!
09:44That spider came out of nowhere
09:46Pretty amazing if you ask me
09:49It has a built in fly alarm
09:51And some web lines that aren't sticky
09:54So the spider doesn't get zapped by its own trap
09:56As my old trapper friend
09:58Jean Paul Labyrinth used to say
10:01The spider that snares the best fares the best
10:05This is your general speaking
10:08I'm inside some sort of magical school bus
10:11Headed for our top secret location
10:14Repair operation SWAT
10:15Come on!
10:17We've gotta get back to the movie and save Liz!
10:20What's Liz doing?
10:21That button will get us back in again
10:23Come on!
10:24You can do it!
10:25Hit the button!
10:27All I need to get that overblown bug is a little bait
10:31What does he mean by bait?
10:33What kind of bait?
10:35Craying Mantis Bait
10:38Wins!
10:40What is that thing?
10:42It's only a centipede
10:45Aaaaaaah!
10:48Only a centipede?
10:49That's like saying
10:50Oh, it's only Godzilla
10:55Wow, that centipede didn't have a chance
10:59A spider in hiding!
11:01Another trapping technique
11:04Look!
11:05There's some kind of trap door hidden here
11:07Which could be why the critter who made it is called a trap door spider
11:12I get it!
11:13The trap door spider hides inside here until something juicy comes along
11:18Then she opens the door and gotcha!
11:21Carlos!
11:22According to my research, you're never more than three feet away from a spider
11:28Yikes!
11:31We keep running into spiders!
11:33They're everywhere!
11:35But don't you see Arnold?
11:36Spiders are trappers!
11:38The best in the business!
11:41Beetle, at six o'clock!
11:43Look out spider!
11:45The spider won't let him in!
11:47I wouldn't let him in either
11:51Uh oh!
11:53Run!
11:57Wahoo!
11:59Quick! Over here!
12:00Nobody's home!
12:04This sure is a nice safe place to hide
12:09That's right Wanda!
12:11Trapper trick number two
12:12The trapper that knows when to run and hide
12:15Lives to trap another day!
12:25All clear!
12:26Hello Ashley Bateshop!
12:29What does a fifty foot praying mantis eat?
12:32Uh huh! Uh huh!
12:33Anything she wants!
12:36Everyone's a comedian!
12:40Liz!
12:42We've got to get back in the movie!
12:44Let's go!
12:46We've got a bus to catch!
12:48And a lizard to save!
12:57Whee!
12:59Now this is what I call an all-encompassing experience!
13:03Oh class!
13:04Ha ha ha ha ha!
13:06Oh that tickles!
13:08Miss Frizzle!
13:09Say hello to the Dinopus spider!
13:12Trapper extraordinaire!
13:14She doesn't wait for the food to come to her trap!
13:16She takes her trap to the food!
13:19Oh look!
13:20I've been invited to dinner!
13:23You mean you're going to be dinner!
13:26Not if we have anything to say about it!
13:28Okay, Dinopus!
13:30Just let go of Miss Frizzle!
13:34Thank you!
13:35Oh well!
13:36I guess we'll just have to study how a trapper eats what she's trapped!
13:39Some other day!
13:41Well, well!
13:43What do we have here?
13:46A lizard!
13:48Or should I say?
13:50Praying mantis bait?
13:52I don't know but I...
13:54Oh no!
13:54Arrhenius has got Liz!
13:55We've got to get back in there and trap that general!
13:59Prepare Operation Spider!
14:01Oh Liz!
14:03Get us in please!
14:04Push the button!
14:05I've been told catching up burgers, mighty fools!
14:24What was that?
14:26You again!
14:27You again!
14:30Yikes!
14:30Oof!
14:32Where'd my bait go?
14:33Hang on Liz!
14:35I'm making a web and I'm going to trap that general!
14:38Yikes!
14:38Ah ha!
14:40There she is!
14:41Wait a second!
14:42I'm almost finished!
14:44Oh rats!
14:48Sorry we can't stick around kids!
14:50We got places to go, mantises to feed!
14:53You can't take Liz!
14:55Come back!
14:57Ugh!
14:59Spinning a web is harder than it looks!
15:03Take me to the park!
15:05And step on it!
15:07Oh!
15:10Oh!
15:18We've got to get to that park before the praying mantis does!
15:21Don't feel bad Phoebe!
15:23Only a giant spider could trap that general!
15:29Yes!
15:30Arnold you're a genius!
15:32Isn't he Miss Frizzle?
15:34His idea certainly has legs!
15:37But...
15:38I was just kidding!
15:40Come on bus!
15:41Do your stuff!
15:43I was just kidding!
15:53Eight legs!
15:57Check!
16:01Spider silk spinners!
16:03Check!
16:05Buckle up class!
16:07Trapping season has just begun!
16:36That mantis is a killer son!
16:39Dangerous is it's middle name!
16:45Praying Dangerous Mantis!
16:50I think it's Latin!
16:52To the park!
17:00Here he comes!
17:06The trap worked!
17:08Not exactly!
17:11The general wasn't in the car!
17:13Okay, okay!
17:14What did we learn from this?
17:16Never order mushrooms and anchovies on the same pizza!
17:20Carlos!
17:21What we learned is, for prey on the ground, use a trap on the ground!
17:26Except our prey wasn't on the ground!
17:30Is it just me, or is that the general up there?
17:34And Liz!
17:36For prey in the air, use a trap in the air!
17:40A spider web!
17:42Prepare Operation Orb Spider Bus!
17:50Let the spinnerets fly!
17:52Let the spinnerets fly!
18:00At my old school, the bucks never made a web!
18:04I think I'm gonna be sick!
18:06There's no time to be sick!
18:08We've gotta be ready for the general!
18:11Begin the radio spokes!
18:14A spider web!
18:16Hang on!
18:17Spin that web!
18:21Shhh!
18:32There it is!
18:38Get your lizard here!
18:40Red-hide lizard!
18:42Hurry up, Miss Frizzle!
18:43He's coming this way!
18:45Switching spinnerets!
18:47Get ready for the sticky stuff!
18:58We're almost complete!
19:01And just in time!
19:03Here comes the general!
19:04Hit the signal line!
19:07Lizard here!
19:09Get it now, get it free!
19:12What the?
19:13Is that a spider web?
19:18Gotcha!
19:24Bet you'd hate to be in my shoes, huh, kids?
19:28Me too!
19:33Oh no!
19:34The general's getting away again!
19:38Forget the general!
19:39Our only chance to save Liz now is to stop the mantis!
19:43But the mantis is too big for a trapdoor!
19:46And we can't wait for it to fly into our web!
19:49Oh, someone's in the kitchen with Dino!
19:52Someone's in the kitchen with Dino-puss!
19:54That's it!
19:55Take the trap to the mantis!
19:58Prepare for Operation Trapper Extraordinaire!
20:01I think she's got it!
20:03I'm gonna get that creature!
20:04Ow!
20:05Oof!
20:05Ow!
20:05If it's the last thing I do!
20:08Oof!
20:09Oof!
20:13Don't go away, pal!
20:15Welcome to your new and final destination, Lizzy!
20:20Step right up and get your free lizard!
20:23No waiting, no refund!
20:33The lizard's all yours, big boy!
20:38This isn't gonna be pretty!
20:41What?
20:42No!
20:43No, no, no!
20:44Now!
20:45We got it!
20:47More silk!
20:49I hereby declare this mantis trapped!
20:56You guys get Liz. We'll take care of the general.
20:59Careful, Liz. Easy. That's it.
21:05Oh, I order you to return my bait this instant.
21:09Sorry, General. Liz belongs with us.
21:12I want my bait.
21:15But here's something you can have.
21:23You knew this would happen, didn't you?
21:27Another happy ending. Good work, class.
21:31Hit it, Liz!
21:47You're safe now, my little friend.
21:49No more getting giant, understand?
21:53Our work here is done. We can go home now.
22:04I tell you, that was one of the best field trips ever.
22:08So I guess you don't hate spiders anymore, huh, Carlos?
22:12No way. I mean the way they use traps so they stay safe while they catch their prey.
22:17It's too much.
22:18Well, as my great-uncle Arachnid used to say,
22:22There's nothing like a spider to teach you everything you need to know.
22:42Is this the Magic School Bus?
22:44Magic School Bus!
22:45Magic School Bus!
22:47Magic School Bus!
22:49Magic School Bus!
22:50Magic School Bus!
22:52I want the Magic School Bus!
23:01Magic School Bus! Producer speaking.
23:03Are those giant bugs in the movies real?
23:06Actually, the bugs are real, they just aren't giants.
23:09Movie Magic just makes them look big by putting a regular-sized bug
23:13into a tiny toy town and shooting close in.
23:16Any more questions?
23:19I've got some!
23:21You!
23:22My agent told me this show was supposed to be about spiders.
23:25All spiders. But you just showed three.
23:28We, uh...
23:29We focused on the orb, trapdoor, and dinapis spiders
23:32because the kinds of traps they make were important to the story.
23:36Understood.
23:37But there are more than a hundred thousand different kinds of spiders
23:40and hundreds of ways they hunt and trap.
23:42In fact, although most spiders make silk,
23:45only some of them spin webs.
23:48We know that!
23:49And we showed as much as we could
23:51while still giving you as much screen time as possible.
23:54Then what about the ending?
23:55What about it?
23:57We wanted to show that spiders are skilled at trapping insects.
24:00Yes, but you stopped one step short.
24:03Spiders prey on other insects.
24:05You know what that means?
24:06That means they eat them!
24:09Well, of course.
24:11Spiders have to eat too, you know.
24:13I know.
24:14And they're pest control specialists.
24:16They keep flies and gnats from becoming a problem.
24:20I even heard of one spider who lures bugs with a sweet perfume.
24:25And lassos them like a cowboy.
24:29But spinning a web can take hours.
24:31You had it happening in minutes.
24:33Well, we could have taken more time on the webs,
24:36but that would have meant cutting back your role.
24:39Cutting back my role?
24:40I think you made the right decision.
24:45In fact, the show was great.
24:47My wife and kids are big fans.
24:50That time you went inside, Ralphie,
24:53we still talk about it.
24:55Keep up the good work.
24:57Ciao.
25:00Forget the web, Liz.
