The Magma Mole is the eleventh episode of the first season of M.A.S.K., an animated television series that aired in the mid-1980s. In this episode, the leader of the criminal organization V.E.N.O.M. creates a giant drilling machine called the Magma Mole in order to steal gold that lies deep beneath a volcano on the island of Java.

M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand) is a secret task force made up of highly-skilled operatives who use high-tech vehicles and masks to combat V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem), a group of master criminals who seek to rule the world.

The episode opens with the M.A.S.K. team receiving a distress signal from the island of Java. Upon arrival, they find that V.E.N.O.M. has already commenced their plan, with the Magma Mole drilling deep into the earth, and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Matt Trakker, the leader of M.A.S.K., quickly realizes that this is a serious threat, and deploys his team to infiltrate the Magma Mole and stop V.E.N.O.M. from stealing the gold.

However, V.E.N.O.M. is aware of M.A.S.K.'s presence and is prepared to defend itself. Our heroes are caught in a trap and are nearly overwhelmed by the villains until Hondo MacLean, the mechanical genius of M.A.S.K. creates a diversion with his new invention: the 'Electro-Copter'.

This enables the rest of the team to break free and launch a counterattack on the Magma Mole. But the villains have a few tricks up their sleeves, and each member of M.A.S.K. must use their unique skills and abilities to overcome a series of obstacles.

The action in this episode quickly ramps up, with fast-paced chases and thrilling stunts that keep the audience on the edge of their seat.

In the end, the M.A.S.K. team succeeds in destroying the Magma Mole and preventing V.E.N.O.M. from stealing the gold. However, the episode ends on a cliffhanger as V.E.N.O.M.'s leader, Miles Mayhem, vows revenge and hints at even bigger plans in the future.

Overall, The Magma Mole is an exciting and action-packed episode that delivers all the thrills and excitement that fans have come to expect from M.A.S.K.
