Wow, Devlin. I remember being unsettled by "Sandy's Idol", probably when originally broadcast.Devlin (Hanna-Barbera, 1974) - disc 1:
1.01 - "Victory Over Fear" (9/7/1974)
When Ernie tries to jump over 23 cars, he crashes and ends up going to the hospital after which he has second thoughts about being a motorcycle stunt rider. But when some Boy Scouts are trapped on an island (after the waters were knocked off the bridge), he faces his fears and jumps over the river to rescue the scout troop.
1.02 - "Hero Worshiper" (9/14/1974)
A runaway named Pete idolizes Ernie Devlin and wants to be a motorcycle stunt rider just like him. However, the Devlins teach this kid there's more to being a star rider.
1.03 - "Save That Lion" (9/21/1974)
When Prince, a circus lion, runs off, Sandy fears he'll be killed. Instead, he is brought back alive after being subdued with a tranquilizer dart.
1.04 - "Todd's Triumph" (9/28/1974)
After coming up with a super roller coaster stunt for Ernie, Todd feels unimportant and left out after Hank tells a reporter about the mechanical side of the team. A representative from a rival circus offers Todd an important job as a chief mechanic. But when a tornado strikes the city, Hank is trapped in his jeep after a tree falls on it, so Todd uses his brains to rescue Hank.
1.05 - "Up, Up and Away" (10/5/1974)
A police safety inspector threatens to close Hank's circus over violations caused by the Gomez family's hot air balloon and Ernie's double-loop ramp.
1.06 - "The Challenge" (10/12/1974)
A motorcycle rider named Speed Simmons challenges the stunt rider to a motorcycle race.
1.07 - "Sandy's Choice" (10/19/1974)
Aunt Martha and Uncle Fred visit the Devlins when they head to their town. Aunt Martha feels that Sandy should live at their home, instead of traveling with the circus.
1.08 - "Sandy's Idol" (10/26/1974)
Sandy likes the idea that Hank hires a rock band for his circus. The band's name is Lucifer, and its lead singer goes by that stage name as well. Ernie and Todd don't like the idea of Sandy idolizing that band. But Lucifer shows his true colors by acting obnoxious and rude towards the people of the circus.
