The Funhouse

Several scientists have been captured by Cobra and imprisoned in South America, prompting the Joes to rescue them and go through Cobra's booby-trapped "funhouse".

"Now you know. And knowing is half the battle." The Sunbow run closed every episode with a public-service spot delivered by a Joe character, addressing kids on a real-world hazard or virtue. The cartoon's deeper ethic, threaded into the writing across the run, was that Cobra's worldview was based on fear and the Joes' was based on responsibility.
