Story:

In the series, the dashing blond hero was regressed to his teenage days, and he employed a hoverboard. As in previous versions, Flash teamed up with Dale Arden (also a teenager) and balding, bespectacled scientist Hans Zarkov. Both Flash and Dale are children of United States Air Force personnel. Flash’s parents were American astronauts who were in space during Ming the Merciless’ initial assault on Earth, and barely escaped his dimensional wormhole and the “space torpedoes” used by Ming’s forces.

The trans-dimensional portal was placed there by Ming the Merciless, the despotic emperor of the planet Mongo, who hoped to provide open access for his invading armies. In this series, Ming had reptilian humanoid characteristics, and seemed to have a human wife, who was long dead (it was implied in some episodes that she had gone to Earth).

When the Airforce escort sent to bring Flash and Dale to a secure location is knocked unconscious mid-flight, Dale and Flash manage to crash land the small aircraft they are on board in a marshy area with no one hurt in the crash. Flash and Dale set out to find help for the pilot and come across the laboratory of Dr. Zarkov. Zarkov mistakes them for two crew members that were supposed to bring him an important piece of his near completed inter dimensional rocket craft.

Flash and Dale unknowingly are brought along for the experiment and by the time anyone realizes the mistake it is too late. The three are brought aboard Ming’s ship. Once there they become aware of Ming’s plans, and Ming takes a dislike to Flash immediately. With help from Ming’s daughter Princess Aura, the three earthlings manage to free a child prisoner of Ming’s, escape and destroy his portal generator, closing the wormhole to Earth.

Without the part Zarkov was expecting, and with the portal closed, Flash and crew were stuck on the Mongo side. The rest of the show follows the earthlings adventures as they discover other nearby planets with anti-Ming factions and put together a loose coalition, determined to overthrow Mongo’s evil emperor and return Princess Thundar, Flash, Dale, and Zarkov to their native planets and restore Mongo to independence and freedom from Ming’s cruelty.
