Ep 24. 3D Tee Vee

For the first time in the universe, three-dimensional television is about to be introduced, but there is great interference as the first show starts. A monstrous fog emerges from the TV monitor and then disappears. Soon afterwards, the evil Dr. Snorkel pays the notorious Wily gang to steal one of the TV transmitters. The doctor explains that years ago his young partner, Rockar, invented a machine that would transmit objects and living things from one place to another. The doctor was so jealous that while Rockar demonstrated the invention by entering the monitor himself, he threw the switch, leaving poor Rockar suspended in the middle of the transmission. From then on, Rockar was doomed to exist in an electronic fog. As soon as he gets his hands on the 3D transmitter, which actually works the same as Rockar's inventions, the notorious Wily orders the fog to get rid of Dr. Snorkel. But the doctor calls on Astro Boy for help. Finally, Astro Boy overcomes Wily, and with Dr. Snorkel's help the machine brings Rockar back to human form where he and the doctor resume their once happy partnership.
