00:01This is 29 Acacia Road, and this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an amazing double life.
00:08And when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs.
00:15Eric is Banana Man, ever alert for the call to action.
00:30Chief O'Reilly here, Eric. Now listen, this could be the crime of the century.
00:35The man behind it is the sinister of General Blight.
00:38He's mean, he's malicious, he's terribly ugly.
00:42Thank you. Nice to know you're wanted.
00:45As you know, Eric, General Blight is determined to rule the world and Acacia Road Junior School.
00:51And you know what that means, Eric.
00:53You bet, Chiefie. More homework and prunes and custard every day.
00:57Absolutely right. To finance his evil scheme, he's kidnapped the chairman of the United Nations Christmas Club Committee.
01:05You're following this. He's chained him to a railway track, and he's demanded billions of pounds of ransom money.
01:11Blistering banana skins.
01:13You can say that again.
01:15Blistering banana skins.
01:17The emergency, the Milky Express is speeding towards the helpless channel.
01:21The driver, bound hand and foot, totally powerless to stop it.
01:24We've got the ransom money here. If only Banana Man could pick it up.
01:27Don't say no more, Chiefie. I'm on my... He's on his way.
01:46Down at the police station, Mr Grindle, in charge of damage control, was repairing the results of Banana Man's last
01:51visit.
02:06Hello? What's this? A giant blue bottle?
02:10Oh, Banana Man.
02:13All right. Any funny business, and you'll end up as Banana Fritters.
02:19Now, start counting the money.
02:21If it's all there, I'll give you the combination to that lock, and I'll fly away.
02:27Oh, no, he won't.
02:28Oh, yes, I will.
02:31Meanwhile, the Express grew ever closer.
02:34One million, two and a half million, ninety-seven thousand, five hundred and one.
02:42Ninety-seven thousand, five hundred and one.
02:45Hurry up.
02:46Boom.
02:48Okay, it's all there, Banana Brain.
02:51Here's the combination.
02:53Double six, double four.
02:55Now, ha, ha, ha.
02:57Give me the sack.
02:59Anything you say, General, consider yourself tired.
03:06Now, to rescue what's-his-name.
03:09Uh, double seven, and four, four, and...
03:13Oi, oi, oi, oi, you don't leave.
03:15We're going to be both Banana Bones, because you have the strength of twenty men.
03:20Oh, yes.
03:22Twenty big men.
03:24Oh, cool.
03:25It's pathetic, isn't it?
03:26Never fear.
03:27Banana Man's here.
03:29Oh, yes.
03:36But Banana Man's heroic endeavors went over.
03:39Innocent men, women, children, and a thousand intercity sandwiches were hurtling to their doom.
03:45Gasp!
03:46Fortunately, Banana Man had another trick up his sleeve, and a few muscles as well.
04:02O'Reilly's clever coppers caught the crafty criminal and carted him off to the clink.
04:11Oh, my hero.
04:14The Banana Fans rushed to thank their rescuer.
04:17The Banana Man, whose true identity must remain a mystery, tried to slip quietly away.
04:22It may not be such an exciting life being plain, little Eric, but it's a whole lot safer.
04:28Oh!
04:28Me too!
04:29Me too!
04:29Oh!
04:29Did he do it!
04:30That was great.
04:31Oh!
04:33Oh!
04:34Oh!
04:41Oh!
04:42Oh!
04:45Oh!
04:47Oh!
04:50Wow!
