This is the first segment of the thirteenth episode of The All-New Super Friends Hour, unlike most other Super Friends formats, this one had hour long episodes that were made up of various shorter cartoons. The first segment would be an adventure staring two members (or three in some cases as Batman and Robin would often team with another Super Friend) of the Super Friends. The second would be a morality play staring the Wonder Twins. The third would be a typical half hour Super Friends adventure. The fourth and last segment would feature one of the main Super Friends (or two in the case of Batman and Robin) teaming up with a special DC Comics guest.
In this episode, two black teenagers have car trouble and harassed by two racist teenagers. The Wonder Twins go to help.
This is a pretty typically forgettable Wonder Twins cartoon. The message about the idiocy of racism is an important one to teach kids. Yet it is conveyed in a completely forgettable and didactic way. There is little entertainment value here as well with underwhelming action scenes and didactic dialogue.
