Terror Island/Transcript

This is a transcript for the Jonny Quest 1964 series episode Terror Island.

Moitu Island
In a building with one room filled with enclosures has a man with a list. A bird is seen visibly in one cage, while the rest are not. When the man opens a green door by pushing a button, something terrifying is seen inside and crashing is heard. As the man closes the door back, he heads to the emergency caller for help.

Crashing continues, the door loosens.

As he drops the caller and runs, the crashing continues until the door breaks. Then, a large, red claw pokes out! As it moves back, the creature is revealed to be a giant, red crab! In his office, the man takes a gun out of his drawer and aims nervously. As the crab breaks in, he shoots the giant crustacean, but the bullets can't pierce through its tough shell. After running out of bullets, the man heads through another hallway to escape. The crab then looks at the audience as the camera zooms in. Making its other way to escape, it breaks through a wall and finds itself outside with several Chinese houses. A guard is seen doing his usual duty as the crab's shadow approaches. As it looms over the guard, he noticed the claw-shaped shadow and turns around to see the crab right in front of him! As the crab opens one of its pincers and menaces him, the guard shoots the crab with gun, but the crab breaks in two with its claw. As the man tries to run, the crab reaches over and grabs him by his rear end. The man screams in terror as the crab pulls him away off-screen and kills him. As three more guards shoot the crab from a distance, the crab makes its way to the shore into the sea. It slowly heads down to the sea and disappears from sight, heading back to its native habitat.

Hong Kong
The Quest Team are being transported with two pedicabs.

As the driver takes them, Jonny is seen in his pedicab and now he's the driver, while the original driver gets his ride.

However, Hadji and the driver have terrified looks on their faces since Jonny is going too fast.

As he continues peddling faster, they noticed something bad.

It's a steep hill down the street! They pass several villagers in the process.

As Hadji and the driver look in horror, all three head fast in the docks and eventually fall in the sea.

Hydrofoil
The team are now in their hydrofoil, while the boys are looking ill, wrapped in blankets.

He speeds up the boat until they finally made it to their schooner.

Schooner
Hadji and Jonny dry themselves, while Dr. Quest looks unhappy and Bandit watches.

Celebration
A Chinese dragon is present in the parade, while everyone watches. A hand holding a twirling flag appears briefly, then moves away. The dragon approaches the Quest Team.

Bandit notices a firecracker has fallen on the ground. He approaches it as it pops, startling him. A bundle of them appear as Bandit growls at it.

As Bandit picks the firecrackers, he shakes them until they all off the string. Now, they're around him!

The firecrackers explode one by one, startling Bandit.

As Bandit runs, he stumbles across another firecracker. He moves just away in time just as it explodes. He jumps right in Jonny's arms.

Bandit whimpers.

Restaurant
The team are eating some Chinese food, while two customers sit nearby.

Bandit barks with delight and gets into view.

Another room
The photographer secretly is talking to someone outside.

She pokes the photo out the window to show Hoisin and his partner someone they're looking for.

She points the image of Dr. Quest in the picture. Hoisin grins evilly and nods, including his partner. He gives the picture back to the photographer, who smiles wickedly and bends the photo.

Schooner
The boys are in bed with the photo, folded like a card, on the floor for Bandit to see.

They laugh playfully as Bandit looks annoyed.

The lights turn off and Bandit closes his eyes to sleep too.

Act 2
Later that night, two men in orange wetsuits slowly push their speedboat in the water and reach the schooner. One quietly gets on board and sees a door. At first, we see the boys and Bandit in their room, then Race's, and finally Dr. Quest's. The door opens from the man, leading it to his room. As the shadow looms over the sleeping Quest, the latter suddenly opens his eyes slightly and then widens them up. Startled by who he sees, he was about to do something until the man covers his mouth with his hand or he'll scream for help. At the same time, Bandit wakes up and growls in aggression, which awakens Hadji.

In Race's room, Race is still asleep until the slightest sound of the speedboat wakes him up immediately. He looks through the porthole to see the speedboat with the two men taking off Dr. Quest! Next, we see Race, the boys and Bandit in Quest's room with a note.

He hands the note to Hadji.

He leaves.

Hydrofoil
Race takes the hydrofoil. He stops next to a large Chinese ship.

Jade's ship
Aboard the ship, Race and Jade have tea.

She leaves as Race looks on.

Hong Kong
Jade drives in Hong Kong to find people if they know Dr. Quest's whereabouts. She meets an old man who doesn't know where Quest is.

Jade drives through again and meets a salesman, who has no idea where Quest is.

Then, she stops by an apartment to meet with a petty informant, who is a petty criminal.

Jade takes cash from her purse and hands it to him.

Jade points a gun at him.

Moitu Island
In a lab, Dr. Quest sits at a desk looking at notes. Chu Sing Ling and a guard are present.

He turns the switch on a device latched onto a wall. Two doors open to show two cages holding his two creations: a giant, black, chittering spider, and a giant, green, growling lizard.

He opens up a small box containing a normal spider.

We now see a set of tanks in the lab.

The lizard and spider continue to growl and screech.

He turns the switch back to close the cages.

Jade's ship
Race knocks on the door and it's opened by Kallum, a friend of Jade.

Kahloom watches him leave on his speedboat.

Schooner
Race returns on the hydrofoil.

He and Hadji look at each, unhappy. Race leaves on the hydrofoil.

Moitu Island
The doors of the enclosure open again to show the lizard and spider. Dr. Quest is now tied up.

He turns to see the lizard growling.

The spider tries to break through his cage.

Quest turns to see the spider trying to get out, while the lizard growls.

Hydrofoil
Race reaches Moitu Island.

Bandit emerges and barks.

The boys frown.

Moitu Island
Race, with a gun, hides behind a tree when a second giant crab appears, growling. As he watches, the giant crab turns back to its direction. Then, a second giant spider appears screeching and heads to the crab's direction. All of a sudden, the crab and spider start clashing with each other violently.

As the crab and spider continue fighting, the cries carry for miles.

Bandit whimpers more.

Bandit continues running.

He follows him.

Village
Race finds a village in the island with two guards on lookout duty. As they look around, Race managed to sneak by and hides next to a house. He takes a Chinese coin out of his pocket and throws it at the guards. Seeing the coin, they both grab it with their hands together. Race then kicks the green guard's rear end and his head crashes into the blue guard's. Both become dazed and make funny smiles as they fall unconscious. Race picks the coin, tosses it, and puts it back in his pocket. He finds three guards in a cabin and sees three playing cards and one is the lookout. When Race got closer and peeks at the window, the lookout noticed him!

He shoots through the window, but misses due to Race ducking. Race then shoots some beams supporting a water tower. As it falls, the guards who are now outside see the tower fall. They scream in terror as they are crushed to death, while the water washes their bodies away. Another guard shoots, which alarms Race. When he shoots back, the guard evades. Race then shoots his bullets at a bulldozer, causing the bullets to bounce off diagonally to head to the guard's direction. Having been shot by the bullets, the guard reappears and falls dead.

They duck down in the tall grass to see the second crab, appearing to have won its fight with the spider.

Bandit is heard barking.

They see Bandit hiding in the bulldozer.

Soon, a group of guards speaking gibberish Chinese pass on a jeep, while the boys and Bandit with his mouth covered hide.

Race hides next to a building and pulls a grenade's pin for the approaching guards. When he comes out of hiding, he puts his hands up as the guards stop. As they confront Race, he tosses the grenade into one's hands, shocking them. When he hides, the grenade explodes, killing the guards and destroying the jeep.

Bulldozer
Race tries to break through a fence's lock. He turns to see the boys and Bandit on the bulldozer.

He backs up the bulldozer.

Rescue
Chu unties Quest.

The guard shows up at gunpoint.

Just then, a small thud is heard, shocking Chu. It's Jade who had knocked out the guard.

A crash is heard from the window.

The guard had recovered already and locks them from the inside.

The cages open, freeing the spider and lizard.

Before the lizard could get out, crashing is heard as debris from the ceiling falls. Quest and Jade close their eyes from the massacre. Then, the very bulldozer with the boys and Bandit are on has crashed through the lab. The spider that got out is now dead, hit by the vehicle, while the lizard, unseen, is crushed to death.

Climax
The team are on the bulldozer, making their escape. The villains' gunfire bounces off the bulldozer as Race shoots back.

The team is now on Chu's speedboat as the villains pursue them.

Another lizard appears, emerging from the sea, but this one is gargantuan. Chu and his minions stop at the sight of it.

The lizard roars in terror as it chases the villains back to Moitu Island.

The lizard continues its pursuit as the men reach to shore. As it gains closer, the men start shooting, but the bullets have no effect. When Chu comes to view in front a fence, the men can be heard screaming, having been devoured by the reptile.

The lizard has now cornered him.

A sign above him says DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE (危险 高压.../Wéixiǎn gāoyā...). The lizard is about to walk into some high voltage wires.

The lizard gets entangled as it reacts in pain at the high voltage. Chu screams in horror as the high voltage power station explodes, killing Chu and the lizard, including everyone and everything else left on the island. The team watch from afar.

Ending
The team heads for home.

He and Jade share a romantic kiss, much to the boys' disgust.

The boat turns toward the camera and runs to it.
