EPISODE #3 – THE SPACE MUMMY

The G-Force is summoned to a newly discovered planet, Zarkadia, by Security Chief Anderson to investigate a series of mysterious plane crashes. All four of the planes disappeared in a 25 mile radius and all of them reported seeing “something white” just before they were lost. One of the planes was piloted by the brother of Professor Sweet, a scientist who has discovered a method to neutralize Spectra’s greatest weapon,

Plutonium X. The Professor comes to the airport every day with his brother’s son, Buddy, who is sure that his father will return. Meanwhile, on their trip through space, the Phoenix is attacked by a giant fireball and a gigantic bandaged hand. They barely escape, but not before they realize that the “white thing” the pilots reported was a colossal mummy. Back at the airport, a small plane lands and Buddy’s lost father gets out. There is a joyful reunion and they go back to Professor Sweet’s home.

Later that night, the Professor catches the Captain going through his formula papers and discovers that he is Zoltar in disguise. Luckily, Mark arrives and fights off Zoltar before he can get the formula. The Space Mummy lands at the airport and begins destroying everything in sight. Zoltar has hidden inside the mummy. Mark’s only chance to stop this indestructible monster is to give it a shot of the anti-pluton formula. Just as the mummy is about to crush young Buddy, Mark administers a fatal dose and Zoltar’s monster freezes. Buddy sees his “father” escape, and finally realizes that it was another of Zoltar’s tricks and that he will never see his real father again.
