Air date: Oct 04, 1980

A.) Green Lantern and Superman must stop the reign of terror caused by Martians who traveled to Earth in a returning space probe. They are finally tricked into returning to Mars. B.) A group of teens dare each other to go into the old Brimstone Mansion in the cemetery, a place that is said to be haunted. Two of them go in the mansion and get trapped inside. The other two ask the Wonder Twins go inside to look for the other boys but get captured by old man Holmes, the cemetery's paranoid caretaker. Gleek informs Batman & Robin who come to the rescue and stop Holmes cold in his tracks. C.) Not for off the Alaska coastline, millions of gallons of crude oil spill out from a ruptured supertanker. Suddenly the crude oil comes alive in the form of a giant monster. Aquaman sees the monster and helps the supertanker to stop the creature by using a harpoon with a net wrapped around to contain the monster. When that plain did not work, the captain called the other Super Friends while Aquaman handled the monster. Hawkman and Hawkgirl arrive, but by the time they got there the oil monster had already taken off to the coast. Later, the oil monster attacks the Alaskan pipeline and grows even larger. Hawkman and Hawkgirl try to stop the monster but they get covered in oil and get captured and eaten by the monster. Aquaman acts fast and saves the winged avengers by going inside the monster and using his telepathy powers as a radar. After Hawkman gets an idea of how to stop the monster, the three heroes go to a small general store to get all of the detergent soap so they can put the plan in motion. They arrive at the nearby harbor to find the monster feeding on the first storage tank. Aquaman leads the monster to the empty storage tank while Hawkman and Hawkgirl pour the detergent on the monster turning it back into plain crude oil.
