Directed by Bobcat Goldthwaite in 1997.
Produced by Goldenvoice Records

Summary[]

The video starts out with a young Aquacadet in trouble who calls the Aquabats for help. The distress signal is sent to The Professor who sends out the call to the Aquabats, who are each living their daily lives. The eyes of the bats on their belts light up as each Aquabat is called to action and they assemble to help the Cadet in trouble and perform other tasks of courage. These include fighting Cyclopfenstein, battling The Sandfleas and helping a cat out of a tree for an ungrateful girl cadet. Inexplicably, there's a spaceship and an Aquabat dog at the end.
