"Rub Three Times For Disaster" was the first episode of "The World's Greatest Super Friends," which first aired on September 22, 1979. The episode starred the core group of five superheros, Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman; along with The Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna and their pet monkey Gleek. The story of the episode is that Kareem Azaar is a ruthless thief on the planet of Zaghdad and he has stole the Magic Lamp of Olam; which when rubbed three times, conjures the evil Genie. Kareem uses the power of the Lamp and Genie to take over the planet and banish the Sultan into the world of the Genie's Lamp. When the Super Friends arrive to save the planet, Superman and the Wonder Twins are imprisoned, along with the Sultan, inside the Genie's Lamp. It is up to Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, and Robin to defeat Kareem and save them and the planet! This is an extremely rare multiple cel title card setup with matching production background. The cel of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, the cel of THE WORLD'S GREATEST SUPERFRIENDS, and the background would have been used for every title card for the entire series; only the cel of the title of the episode was changed. This is a wonderful piece of animation art history and a great
addition to any collection!
