EPISODE #12 – BEAST WITH A SWEET TOOTH

Reports have reached Zark in the Command Center that a giant beetle is eating all of the world’s sugar cane and that every effort to stop it has ended in disaster. The Phoenix heads for the Dominican Republic with the G-Force prepared to stop this monster.

They soon spot the beetle but it uses its suction energy force to pull the Phoenix down toward its gaping mouth. Mark, Jason and Tiny leave the airship and fly into the beetle. The Princess manages to pull the Phoenix out of the suction force and out of reach of the monster. When the men land inside they discover that there is an entire sugar refinery inside the beetle.

Zoltar has been watching them and leads them into a series of deadly traps. They barely escape being crushed to death and burned in boiling syrup. Finally, they are forced into a bone-smashing centrifuge, but before they are killed, Keyop and the Princess get inside the beetle and turn off its power. Now all five create their devastating whirlwind pyramid and disarm all of Zoltar’s men. Zoltar once again escapes capture and our heroes detonate the beetle blowing it off the face of the Earth.
