PART 2 Electra Woman realizes the 12-foot high cage they are in has no ceiling. Electra Woman gives Dyna Girl a boost, and Dyna Girl does her famous out-of-the-cage flip. Dyna Girl gets the key and lets Electra Woman out of the cage. Then they both run out the door before the man-eating tiger can catch them. Our heroines drive their Electra-car back to Electra-base, where Frank installs his new invention, the Electra-beam, into their Electra-comps. It has electromagnetic power. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-super!"" Electra Woman says they must now speed to Fort Knox to stop the Sorcerer; Dyna Girl agrees, ""Electra-right!"" In the Electra-car, they press a button to turn it into the Electra-plane. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-super!"" Once there, they set the Electra-plane to hover over Fort Knox, and our heroines descend with Electra-degravitators. But when our heroines get to an upper level of Fort Knox, the Sorcerer who is on the vault floor creates an illusion of a gigantic electrica

Glitter Rock (1)

9/25/1976·15m

PART 1 The abandoned Magnolia Theatre, in the seedy, rundown section of town, serves as a hideout for the notorious criminal Glitter Rock and his sideman Side Man. Glitter Rock can control people's minds with his hypnotic guitar chords-- and he has a plan for world domination. Meanwhile, in the good side of town, Lori has just returned from her high school reunion with her friend Alex, who is now King Alex the 10th of Tourembourg. Around his neck he wears the Key of Tourembourg, which holds a unique blue gem made of rare Tarronium; whoever wears the Key is the rightful ruler of Tourembourg. Later, in Electra-base, Frank gives Electra Woman and Dyna Girl his latest invention to add to their Electra-comps: the Electra-vibe, which can pulverize 10-ton boulders, knock down concrete walls. (Our heroines only need to ""punch up the basic program with a variable Z warp."") Meanwhile Side Man, disguised as a chauffeur, takes King Alex to a ""private rock concert""-- he is really kidnapping King

Glitter Rock (2)

10/2/1976·15m

PART 2 Electra Woman tells Dyna Girl to use the Electra-vibes-- not on the walls closing in on them, but on the electric eye sensor on the wall instead. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-smart."" They destroy the sensor, and the walls stop moving. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-terrific!"" Glitter Rock has the Key of Tourembourg, making him rightful ruler of that country. But Glitter Rock has bigger plans: the Tarronium gem can be used to power his space satellite, which can beam his hypnotic music around the entire world, putting everyone on Earth under his spell. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl use their Electra-comps to immobilize Glitter Rock and Side Man, but not before he launches his Tarronium-powered satellite. Our heroines turn their Electra-car into the Electra-plane, and head up into the stratosphere to intercept the satellite. Frank, back at Electra-base, gives their Electra-plane a super Electra-boost-- our heroines reach the satellite in time and use their Electra-vibes to destroy the sa

Empress of Evil (1)

10/9/1976·15m

PART 1 At Electra-base, Frank is completing work on his newest Electra-comp attachment : the Electra-split. Just then, the Empress of Evil breaks through on the Crime-scope screen. There is an electrical storm, and a moment later the Empress of Evil appears before Frank! He runs his hands right through her, as if she's a hologram, though she boasts he will find no hidden projectors. The Empress vanishes, and Frank summons our superheroines to Electra-base. Electra Woman tries her new Electra-split on a one-quart glass bottle-- it is split into two identical bottles! However, Frank cautions: ""The effect of the Electra-split beam is to leave both objects in an unstable condition."" Frank picks up one bottle, and easily shatters it by clenching his fingers. Frank also points out that the Electra-split doesn't work on humans-- noting that could be a safety factor. Meanwhile, Lucrecia and the Empress-- in their hideout decorated with skulls! -- plan to rule the world. Then the Empress appe

Empress of Evil (2)

10/16/1976·15m

PART 2 The Empress and Lucrecia teleport to Electra-base. When Frank reaches to touch a button on Crime-scope, the Empress tells him not to move a hand; Frank bravely moves his foot instead, to step on a button on the floor. The Empress levitates him-- but the floor-button activated a Crime-scope device to free Electra Woman and Dyna Girl from the Empress' malevolent stretching spell. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl speed back to Electra-base in their Electra-car-- even as the nefarious Empress and Lucrecia program Crime-scope to self-destruct! Our superheroines get back to Electra-base just in time-- Dyna Girl Electra-degravitates the levitated Frank, while Electra Woman stops the self-destruct sequence on Crime-scope. But then the Empress uses her powers to transport Electra Woman and Dyna Girl back to the dungeon area of her lair. There, our heroines encounter a wailing Banshee-- a female spirit which is a harbinger of death! The Banshee leads them to a room with a giant, 10-foot-hi

Ali Baba (1)

10/23/1976·15m

PART 1 Ali Baba and his sinister Genie use a magnetic ray as a tractor-beam to bring down the private airplane of Russian scientist Professor Nabakov, who was on his way to a big scientific convention being attended by scientists from all over the world; they kidnap him. By sheer coincidence, Lori and Judy are at the International Scientific Convention HQ, covering the convention for Newsmaker magazine. They are summoned by Frank; our heroines Electra-change and dash into Electra-base. Frank tells them the kidnapped Professor had invented a new Metamorphosis formula-- which can change people into their exact opposites. Ali Baba appears on the Crime-scope viewing monitor; he boasts that he has captured the Professor. Frank has Crime-scope zero in on the point of transmission: Ali Baba's lair. Then, Frank gives our heroines his latest attachment for their Electra-comps: the Electra-freeze, which can drop the temperature of any object far below freezing. Electra Woman tests it on a s

Ali Baba (2)

10/30/1976·15m

PART 2 Dyna Girl, driving the Electra-car, returns to Electra-base with Ali Baba and the Genie. Before Frank finds out Dyna Girl has turned evil, and can turn off her Electra-comp, Dyna Girl places him in a force shield. But not before Frank pushes a button on Crime-scope, restoring power to Electra Woman's Electra-comp, allowing her and the Professor to escape the chamber of sand, by using her Electra-beam and Electra-vibe. Electra Woman and Professor Nabakov arrive at Electra-base. (Since Dyna Girl drove the Electra-car back, maybe they borrowed one of Ali Baba's vehicles.) Electra Woman has a showdown against her former partner Dyna Girl. Electra Woman fires her Electra-comp beam at Dyna Girl, but misses-- maybe because subconsciously she can't get herself to hurt Dyna Girl, even for her own good. The evil Dyna Girl blasts Electra Woman, knocking her out. Then the villains kidnap Frank and, in a puff of smoke, return to Ali Baba's lair. Electra Woman regains consciousness, and

The Sorcerer and Miss Dazzle appear and, in a pull of smoke, vanish-- stealing Merlin's Mirror. Meanwhile, Lori and Judy are looking at the famous Benini Clock: a golden clock with golden cherubs on each side. Lori tells Judy that it's one of the world's most valuable art treasures, worth millions. Suddenly, it disappears before their disbelieving eyes! Electra Woman and Dyna Girl speed to Electra-base where Frank informs them that Crime-scope has already detected a space-time continuum disturbance of unknown origin. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-confusing.""

PART 2 Meanwhile, the Sorcerer (who can enter and leave the Mirror dimension, though our superheroines can't) enters our dimension again; he cuts in on the Crime-scope monitor to gloat to Frank. The Sorcerer decides to commit another time-travel theft. He enters into the Mirror again, and goes back to 1502 A.D. to steal the Mona Lisa painting from Leonardo da Vinci. However this time, the Sorcerer is followed by Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. At the same moment that the Sorcerer takes the Mona Lisa and enters the time warp again, the Crime-scope tells Frank that the painting has vanished in the present. Our heroines reenter the time warp, and Frank locks the Crime-scope onto their time transit trajectory coordinates. Our heroines encounter the Sorcerer in the mirror dimension and retrieve the Mona Lisa. The Sorcerer retreats back to the present by exiting the Mirror. Then he breaks the Mirror, trapping Electra Woman and Dyna Girl in the mirror dimension forever! Frank has Crime-scop

The Pharaoh (1)

11/20/1976·15m

PART 1 The famed ""Museum of the 7 Seas"" awaits its gala debut. The museum's star attraction is its exhibit of priceless Egyptian artifacts from the tomb of King Ramses the 2nd. That nefarious villain the Pharaoh emerges from a sarcophagus and holds out his staff-- which sprays green mummifying gas, knocking out the museum guard. The Pharaoh and Cleopatra then steal an 18-inch wooden pyramid on display-- it holds the key to unlimited power. By happy coincidence, Lori and Judy just happen to be covering the story of the museum's debut for Newsmakers magazine. The guard recovers from his attack, and tells our heroines that the pyramid of King Ramses was stolen. Lori contacts Frank at Electra-base via her Electra-comp. Crime-scope determines the 3 most likely suspects: 2 are in prison, leaving only, as Frank says, ""The most precocious philanderer this side of the Nile."" ""The Pharaoh!"" our heroines exclaim. At the Pharaoh's lair, he holds the pyramid, saying it's rightfully his since he

The Pharaoh (2)

11/27/1976·15m

PART 2 When our heroines wake up, Frank communicates to them that Solaris hit them with 50,307.81 volts of static electricity! Solaris feeds on energy; the Pharaoh demands a $10-million ransom from the city or he'll steal all the energy. Just then, there is a blackout at Electra-base (and presumably all over the city). The representative of top bankers meets with Pharaoh at his Nile barge in the city's Marina, even as Electra Woman and Dyna Girl speed there in the Electra-car. Frank puts lead shielding around Crime-scope, cutting off the energy-drain, and restoring power to Electra-base. At the Nile barge, Dyna Girl uses her Electra-comp to fire an Electra-beam at the magic crystal; Electra Woman then turns on her Electra-strobe-- energy is fed into Solaris 10,000 times faster than Solaris can absorb it! Solaris expands and dissipates, destroyed forever. Our heroines capture the Pharaoh and Cleopatra. That's an Electra shocker for the villains who dared challenge Electra Woman and

PART 1 Narrator: ""This is the embassy of the tiny country of Baklava. It serves as the shrine of the Golden Spider God."" Lori and Judy, as reporters for Newsmakers magazine, are trying to interview the untalkative Monk. Unbeknownst to them, the 3rd lady reporter is in her secret identity-- she leaves the room, and changes into the notorious Spider Lady! She is joined by her henchmen: Spinner and Leggs. (They all wear outfits like ""Spider-Man"".) Spider Lady will set a trap to get the Golden Spider Idol-- she'll have Electra Woman steal it for her! Our superheroines go back to Electra Base. Frank has just developed the Electra-X. To demonstrate it, he asks Electra Woman to punch up the basic program with a Variable ""113 minus X"" grid, on the Crime Scope computer. It works like an X-Ray, we now see Frank as a skeleton! Dyna Girl says, ""Great gimmick for Halloween!"" The Electra-X's real purpose, of course, is to expose disguised criminals. And Electra Woman and Dyna Girl will be able to us

PART 2 Back at the Spider Lair, 4 tarantulas are crawling up Electra Woman's boots! In the embassy above, the Clone takes the Golden Spider Idol from the Monk. At Electra Base, the spider-bomb explodes, short-circuiting Crime Scope! It loses power, and is out of commission. Meanwhile, Dyna Girl-- wondering who could have sabotaged Crime Scope, and remembering the Clone's mistakes-- figures out that ""Electra Woman"" is really Spider Lady in disguise! But Spider Lady has out-tricked herself! With Crime Scope down, the Force Field of Electra Woman's Electra-Comp fades. She is free! Electra Woman finds Dyna Girl, and confronts the Clone. But Dyna Girl can't tell them apart-- which is which? Dyna Girl despairs, ""Electra-wow! I just don't know!"" The Clone gets flustered, she says accusing her of being Spider Lady is ridiculous. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-ridiculous!"" As a test, Dyna Girl asks the Clone what Frank's middle name is. The Clone gets so frustrated, she loses mental control and rever

PART 1 Narrator: ""The Coptic Eye-- the sacred mystic symbol of the ancient Egyptians. But the great Pharaohs, for whom it was so important, are all gone-- with one regrettable exception."" In their secret lair, gazing at a replica of the Coptic Eye, are Electra Woman and Dyna Girl's old nemeses: The Pharaoh and the notorious Princess Cleopatra. The Pharaoh says that with the Coptic Eye's extraordinary powers, he could rule the world. The Coptic Eye is buried deep in the main chamber of King Tut's pyramid in Egypt. However, entrepreneur Mr. McLintock has recently spent billions of dollars to have the entire pyramid brought, stone by stone, 6,000 miles from Egypt to just outside the city, as a tourist attraction. By coincidence, Lori and Judi, ace reporters for Newsmakers magazine, are interviewing Mr. McLintock at this very moment. Due to an ancient curse, the tourists stopped coming-- now Mr. McLintock plans to ""seal up the pyramid forever."" Just then, Lori and Judi get a signal on thei

Return of the Pharaoh (2)

12/25/1976·15m

PART 2 Frank, who is monitoring everything, has no choice but to cut off Electra Woman's power. But the Pharaoh has another trick-- he uses his staff to immobilize our heroines with a mummifying spray. (note: the last time they met, Frank had developed an antidote for the Pharaoh's mummifying gas; it seems this mummifying spray is something new.) Back at Electra Base, Frank sends sonic vibrations to shatter the mummifying spray. Meanwhile, the Pharaoh sets an 18-ton rock descending, to seal off the main chamber ""for all eternity."" Dyna Girl shakes Electra Woman, snapping her out of her hypnotic trance; the Dynamo Duo Electra-degravitate away from the asps. The villains get lost in the maze of passageways, and stupidly wind up back in the main chamber with our heroines. The 18-ton rock descends, trapping all 4 of them inside the main chamber! All power to the Electra-comps is blocked! They are trapped in the main chamber forever! And the air is running out! To save their lives, our hero
