[instrumental music]
Back, back, you monster, back.
Back, I say.
Back in the cage.
'Down, boy, down.'
'A-ha! Now I'm shutting
the door.'
Oh, boy, that was a battle.
-Oh, Professor Von Gimmick.
- Yes?
Now, what's with the liontamer act.
There's nothing in the cage.
Oh, but there is.
And I'll prove it.
I place this log on a plate
and serve it to Dotzilla.
-Dotzilla?
- Yes.
Keep your eye
on the little dot.
Lunch time, Dotzilla.
Good grief, what is it?
[chuckles]
I've developed
the world's most
powerful termite.
-Termite?
- Yes.
Observe through this
magnifying glass.
Notice his strong
pincer-like jaws.
He can eat anything,
including steel.
But he doesn't know this yet.
Heh heh heh.
Professor, how do youintend to use
such a horrible creature?
In time I will think of some
diabolically clever use
for Dotzilla.
Look, professor, he musthave heard you
telling me about beingable to eat steel.
Dotzilla, stop.
Come back, please.
I'll give you some
chocolate-covered saw dust.
Dotzilla, stop!
Professor, won't he do a lotof damage unless he is stopped?
Yes, and I know just the one
to stop him.
Get me Atom Ant. Hurry.
Meanwhile, deep downin his secret laboratory
we find the defenderof justice, Atom Ant.
A muscle a day
keeps the doctor away
and keeps you healthy
the Atom Ant way.
[antennae zapping]
Uh-oh, message coming in.
It's the emergency call letters.
"H-E-L-P. Help."
Location check. 0-7-4.
The Von Gimmick laboratory.
Atom Ant, stop Dotzilla,
the deadly termite
before he destroys the country.
- Hurry.
- Will do.
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
swoosh
Dotzilla, where are you?
A-ha! There you are.
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
'Whoa, he's a mean-looking
little critter.'
bang
Crumbling comet,
he's tougher than I thought.
(man on radio)
'Attention, all units.'
'Be on the lookout for Dotzilla'
'the deadly termite.'
A deadly termite?
That's a laugh.
[laughing]
thud
Dotzilla, you get back
to your cage
before someone really gets hurt.
I'll lock him in this
super steel safe.
Oh, Dotzilla, come and see
your new playhouse.
I got him.
And just to make sure
I shall drop him and the safe
into some quick-drying cement.
thump
And then, just to make
doubly sure
I shall take the block of cement
with the safe in it
and drop it in the bottom
of the ocean.
splash
And dredge it up later
when he's calmed down.
[bubbling]
I see where I shall have to take
sterner measures. Don't go away.
I shall knock
him out temporarily
with this machine gun.
[gunfire]
[belches]
Yikes!
Now, where's he going?
Screaming satellite! He's
heading for that new skyscraper.
'Luckily, it's unoccupied.'
I have an idea.
I shall gum up his works.
And a candy store
is just the place to start.
Can I help you, sir?
I'd like to buy some
chewing gum, please?
One stick of gum coming up.
- Here you are, little feller.
- Thanks.
Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
Here, Dotzilla, fetch the stick.
Fetch the stick.

Well, what do you know?
He likes it.
[giggles]
-Uh, Professor Von Gimmick.
- Yes.
What in the world are you doingat the city dump?
The mayor made me
chief sanitary engineer.
I see, but whatever becameof Dotzilla?
Oh, he's working for me now.
See?
Time to go to work, Dotzilla.
I'd say, professor, how did youever manage to tame him?
Atom Ant gave me the secret.
Watch.
Oh, Dotzilla, lunch time.

Like I always say
a problem's not too tough
to swallow
if you chew on it long enough.
