[ Oh, that's right: it was the 70s. Of course they have a Bermuda Triangle episode, although thinking it over, I'm not sure there's a need for this story to have been in the Bermuda Triangle. ]

Episode Number: JBJ-12
Title: "The Bermuda Triangle Tangle"
Original Airdate: 25 November 1976 [ Special Thanksgiving airing ]
Production Code: 84-12
Plot: Madame Sargasso, sorceress, uses teleportation to steal ships and people from the Bermuda Triangle of the oceans. The Neptunes are made into zombie slaves for the diamond mines, and offer to trade a power stone capable of taking over the world for their freedom. Bubbles proves to be enough of a match for Sargasso to use her magic mirror and an electro-magical battle foils the evildoers.
Locations: Bermuda Triangle.
Guest Characters: Madame Sargasso, Captain, Seven Minions, Monac.
Songs: ``You've Got To Believe In Love'' (chase), Unidentified piece (performance, fragment).

Thoughts:
Madame Sargasso seems to be an evil face in a mirror to start.

This might actually count as an episode with technobabble, in that they give a name to explain all the apparently magical things that Madame Sargasso does. Unfortunately, that name is ``electro-magical'', which goes right back to not explaining a thing. )

Jabberjaw conjures up a miniature Monoc in his closing magic routine.

Trivia: In 1790 James Madison calculated that, were the Federal capital to be placed on the Potomac River, Southern congressmen would have to travel a cumulative 12,782 miles to reach it, while Northern congressmen would travel a mere cumulative 12,422 miles. This was by way of arguing such a site was not really a ``Southern'' capital. Source: The Grand Idea: George Washington's Potomac and The Race To The West, Joel Achenbach.
