17. Red Hornet The
Horrible Hostage Plan
Red
Hornet and his army are out to destroy Mother Nature. To do
so they spread gas, which wipes out plants and leaves people choking.
Professor Komyoji takes a bus to his hometown of Ikaho, where Hanpei is
also driving Mitsuko and Masaru. The robots attack at the Grand Hotel,
but Jiro is there to battle them. In the confusion, Yumiko, Masaru and
Mitsuko get kidnapped. Jiro finds them, and Gil plays the flute. The
roar of a boat engine blocks the sound, and Red Hornet is not long for
the world!
Notes: There is a lot
of sightseeing in this episode, and it is some gorgeous countryside.
The little hornets look like toys, and they need to “gas “ up to full
power. We see Red Hornet has a videophone. Masaru is infected and acts
crazy, which gets a bit annoying. He gets cured at the end, though.
