Glitter Rock (1)
PART 1 The abandoned Magnolia Theatre, in the seedy, rundown section of town, serves as a hideout for the notorious criminal Glitter Rock and his sideman Side Man. Glitter Rock can control people's minds with his hypnotic guitar chords-- and he has a plan for world domination. Meanwhile, in the good side of town, Lori has just returned from her high school reunion with her friend Alex, who is now King Alex the 10th of Tourembourg. Around his neck he wears the Key of Tourembourg, which holds a unique blue gem made of rare Tarronium; whoever wears the Key is the rightful ruler of Tourembourg. Later, in Electra-base, Frank gives Electra Woman and Dyna Girl his latest invention to add to their Electra-comps: the Electra-vibe, which can pulverize 10-ton boulders, knock down concrete walls. (Our heroines only need to ""punch up the basic program with a variable Z warp."") Meanwhile Side Man, disguised as a chauffeur, takes King Alex to a ""private rock concert""-- he is really kidnapping King

Glitter Rock (2)
PART 2 Electra Woman tells Dyna Girl to use the Electra-vibes-- not on the walls closing in on them, but on the electric eye sensor on the wall instead. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-smart."" They destroy the sensor, and the walls stop moving. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-terrific!"" Glitter Rock has the Key of Tourembourg, making him rightful ruler of that country. But Glitter Rock has bigger plans: the Tarronium gem can be used to power his space satellite, which can beam his hypnotic music around the entire world, putting everyone on Earth under his spell. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl use their Electra-comps to immobilize Glitter Rock and Side Man, but not before he launches his Tarronium-powered satellite. Our heroines turn their Electra-car into the Electra-plane, and head up into the stratosphere to intercept the satellite. Frank, back at Electra-base, gives their Electra-plane a super Electra-boost-- our heroines reach the satellite in time and use their Electra-vibes to destroy the sa

Empress of Evil (1)
PART 1 At Electra-base, Frank is completing work on his newest Electra-comp attachment : the Electra-split. Just then, the Empress of Evil breaks through on the Crime-scope screen. There is an electrical storm, and a moment later the Empress of Evil appears before Frank! He runs his hands right through her, as if she's a hologram, though she boasts he will find no hidden projectors. The Empress vanishes, and Frank summons our superheroines to Electra-base. Electra Woman tries her new Electra-split on a one-quart glass bottle-- it is split into two identical bottles! However, Frank cautions: ""The effect of the Electra-split beam is to leave both objects in an unstable condition."" Frank picks up one bottle, and easily shatters it by clenching his fingers. Frank also points out that the Electra-split doesn't work on humans-- noting that could be a safety factor. Meanwhile, Lucrecia and the Empress-- in their hideout decorated with skulls! -- plan to rule the world. Then the Empress appe

Empress of Evil (2)
PART 2 The Empress and Lucrecia teleport to Electra-base. When Frank reaches to touch a button on Crime-scope, the Empress tells him not to move a hand; Frank bravely moves his foot instead, to step on a button on the floor. The Empress levitates him-- but the floor-button activated a Crime-scope device to free Electra Woman and Dyna Girl from the Empress' malevolent stretching spell. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl speed back to Electra-base in their Electra-car-- even as the nefarious Empress and Lucrecia program Crime-scope to self-destruct! Our superheroines get back to Electra-base just in time-- Dyna Girl Electra-degravitates the levitated Frank, while Electra Woman stops the self-destruct sequence on Crime-scope. But then the Empress uses her powers to transport Electra Woman and Dyna Girl back to the dungeon area of her lair. There, our heroines encounter a wailing Banshee-- a female spirit which is a harbinger of death! The Banshee leads them to a room with a giant, 10-foot-hi

Ali Baba (1)
PART 1 Ali Baba and his sinister Genie use a magnetic ray as a tractor-beam to bring down the private airplane of Russian scientist Professor Nabakov, who was on his way to a big scientific convention being attended by scientists from all over the world; they kidnap him. By sheer coincidence, Lori and Judy are at the International Scientific Convention HQ, covering the convention for Newsmaker magazine. They are summoned by Frank; our heroines Electra-change and dash into Electra-base. Frank tells them the kidnapped Professor had invented a new Metamorphosis formula-- which can change people into their exact opposites. Ali Baba appears on the Crime-scope viewing monitor; he boasts that he has captured the Professor. Frank has Crime-scope zero in on the point of transmission: Ali Baba's lair. Then, Frank gives our heroines his latest attachment for their Electra-comps: the Electra-freeze, which can drop the temperature of any object far below freezing. Electra Woman tests it on a s

Ali Baba (2)
PART 2 Dyna Girl, driving the Electra-car, returns to Electra-base with Ali Baba and the Genie. Before Frank finds out Dyna Girl has turned evil, and can turn off her Electra-comp, Dyna Girl places him in a force shield. But not before Frank pushes a button on Crime-scope, restoring power to Electra Woman's Electra-comp, allowing her and the Professor to escape the chamber of sand, by using her Electra-beam and Electra-vibe. Electra Woman and Professor Nabakov arrive at Electra-base. (Since Dyna Girl drove the Electra-car back, maybe they borrowed one of Ali Baba's vehicles.) Electra Woman has a showdown against her former partner Dyna Girl. Electra Woman fires her Electra-comp beam at Dyna Girl, but misses-- maybe because subconsciously she can't get herself to hurt Dyna Girl, even for her own good. The evil Dyna Girl blasts Electra Woman, knocking her out. Then the villains kidnap Frank and, in a puff of smoke, return to Ali Baba's lair. Electra Woman regains consciousness, and

Return of the Sorcerer (1)
PART 1 The Municipal Records Building is exhibiting English historical and mythological artifacts-- including Merlin's Mirror, once the prized possession of King Arthur's magician. The Sorcerer and Miss Dazzle appear and, in a pull of smoke, vanish-- stealing Merlin's Mirror. Meanwhile, Lori and Judy are looking at the famous Benini Clock: a golden clock with golden cherubs on each side. Lori tells Judy that it's one of the world's most valuable art treasures, worth millions. Suddenly, it disappears before their disbelieving eyes! Electra Woman and Dyna Girl speed to Electra-base where Frank informs them that Crime-scope has already detected a space-time continuum disturbance of unknown origin. Dyna Girl says, ""Electra-confusing."" The Sorcerer appears on Crime-scope's screen and boasts that he will steal the Crown Jewels of England next (also at the Municipal Records Building), and challenges Electra Woman and Dyna Girl to stop him. But first, Frank gives our heroines a new Elect

Return of the Sorcerer (2)
PART 2 Meanwhile, the Sorcerer (who can enter and leave the Mirror dimension, though our superheroines can't) enters our dimension again; he cuts in on the Crime-scope monitor to gloat to Frank. The Sorcerer decides to commit another time-travel theft. He enters into the Mirror again, and goes back to 1502 A.D. to steal the Mona Lisa painting from Leonardo da Vinci. However this time, the Sorcerer is followed by Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. At the same moment that the Sorcerer takes the Mona Lisa and enters the time warp again, the Crime-scope tells Frank that the painting has vanished in the present. Our heroines reenter the time warp, and Frank locks the Crime-scope onto their time transit trajectory coordinates. Our heroines encounter the Sorcerer in the mirror dimension and retrieve the Mona Lisa. The Sorcerer retreats back to the present by exiting the Mirror. Then he breaks the Mirror, trapping Electra Woman and Dyna Girl in the mirror dimension forever! Frank has Crime-scop

The Pharaoh (1)
PART 1 The famed ""Museum of the 7 Seas"" awaits its gala debut. The museum's star attraction is its exhibit of priceless Egyptian artifacts from the tomb of King Ramses the 2nd. That nefarious villain the Pharaoh emerges from a sarcophagus and holds out his staff-- which sprays green mummifying gas, knocking out the museum guard. The Pharaoh and Cleopatra then steal an 18-inch wooden pyramid on display-- it holds the key to unlimited power. By happy coincidence, Lori and Judy just happen to be covering the story of the museum's debut for Newsmakers magazine. The guard recovers from his attack, and tells our heroines that the pyramid of King Ramses was stolen. Lori contacts Frank at Electra-base via her Electra-comp. Crime-scope determines the 3 most likely suspects: 2 are in prison, leaving only, as Frank says, ""The most precocious philanderer this side of the Nile."" ""The Pharaoh!"" our heroines exclaim. At the Pharaoh's lair, he holds the pyramid, saying it's rightfully his since he
