ADAM: And the Masters of the Universe.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

I am Adam,

Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets

of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

the day I held aloft my magic sword

and said, "By the power of Gray skull..."

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

"...I have the power!"

(ROARING)

ADAM: Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat

and I became He-Man,

the most powerful man in the universe.

Only three others share this secret,

our friends the Sorceress, Man-At-Arms and Orko.

Together, we defend Castle Grayskull

from the evil forces of Skeletor.

(LAUGHS)

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Squinch!

Who goes there?

Put that pig sticker down before you hurt someone.

Oh, sorry, Kando.

You're here to guard the fort. Not play games.

Yes, sir, sir.

All's well up here, huh?

Oh, shucks! It's quieter than a flea's hiccup.

Well, with what we're guarding in our mines, we can't be too careful.

(GROWLING)

Ah, the Widgets' fortress.

Once I break in, I'll get what I need

to finish He-Man once and for all!

All right, my lackeys, in the name of destruction.

LARA: Hi, Squinch!

Oh, hello there, Lara! What are you doing up here?

You are my boyfriend, remember?

I thought you might be lonesome all by yourself.

D'aww, I don't have time to get lonesome.

No, indeedy, no.

A guard's got to be on his toes all the time.

Always ready to react to the least little sound.

(ROARING) (SCREAMS)

It's a whole gang of monsters!

With Skeletor in the lead!

Oh, Skeletor? Oh, yikes!

We've got to do something, like... (STUTTERING)

Like sounding the alarm! Yes, like sounding the alarm!

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

(ALARM RINGING)

(BEAST MAN GROWLING)

Oh, here they come! What are we going to do?

This grease will slow them down.

(SCREAMING)

Hey, pretty slick work there, Lara!

Squinch, don't just stand there. They'll try the south wall next.

I'll get them!

Oh! Hi. Nice kitty, kitty.

(ROARING)

(SNARLS)

(THUDS)

Witless fools. Do I have to do everything for you?

Skeletor's breaking through.

Our only hope is to alert our old friend He-Man.

I pray he sees our signal.

Well, it's good to get out of the palace now and then, right, Cringer?

(YAWNS)

All this exercise is making me sleepy.

Well, just be thankful you don't have to work as hard as that slow tow.

BOY: Come on, boy! You can make it!

Oh, no!

Uh-oh! No time to rest now, Cat.

By the power of Gray skull.

I have the power!

(ROARING)

Did you lose something?

He-Man!

He-Man

There you go, fella. Good as new.

Thanks, He-Man. I don't know what we'd have done without you.

I'm glad I could help. Have a safe trip.

(ROARING)

Keep a sharp lookout, Cat. We might find others who need our help today.

(GROWLS) I see something already!

HE-MAN: That's the Widgets' signal.

They only use that in the worst emergencies.

To Widget Woods. Hurry!

(LAUGHS) Victory!

Now, get in there, you two.

BEAST MAN: Line up, little friends.

Our master wants a word with you.

Kando, step forward.

Skeletor has come for you.

You have no business here. You go away and leave us alone.

I shall, little commander, as soon as you give me your Coridite.

Coridite? Never!

Very well. Perhaps my pet Panthor

will put you in a more reasonable state of mind.

(GROWLING)

(CRASH)

Let's see you pick on someone your own size, Skull Face.

He-Man!

He-Man!

Stop him, you fools!

(GURGLING)

(BEAST MAN SNARLS)

Oh, you want to play snap the whip, eh?

(BEAST MAN GROANING)

(CRASHING)

Mer-Man, let's take him from both sides.

You think you're handy with that sword, huh?

Well, try this.

Anything you can pitch, I can hit back.

No!

Curse you, He-Man.

Someday I'll have the power to destroy you.

Someday!

Thanks He-Man. I thought we were doomed.

What was Skeletor after, anyway?

Our Coridite, but he didn't get any.

Coridite?

That's what the Sorceress fashioned this harness from.

It helps add to my power.

It's too powerful for us to use so we keep what little we find

hidden in our mines.

SQUINCH: Yeah, deep down where no one's gonna find it.

Well, I hope you're right, Squinch.

I hate to think what would happen if Skeletor got his hands on it.

(WIND HOWLING)

Dolts, halfwits, bunglers, brainless idiots,

you couldn't even beat a motley group of gnomes.

But Skeletor, it was He-Man who...

He-Man!

Always He-Man!

If you had gotten your wretched hands on the Widgets' Coridite,

He-Man would be in my power now.

(CHUCKLING)

Get out of my sight!

Morons.

As usual, you overreact, Skeletor.

How else can I act when I'm surrounded by such fools?

If I could fashion the Widgets' Coridite into an amulet,

it would work with my own dark powers,

giving me the added strength to destroy He-Man.

True.

(LAUGHS) But what you need is a clever ally to get it for you.

In this form, the Widgets will never suspect my real identity.

Once they take me into their confidence,

the Coridite will be ours.

(LAUGHS)

For your sake, this had better work.

Don't worry.

Those kindhearted fools would never turn away a girl in distress.

Right, Panthor?

WOMAN: Help! Oh, help! (GROWLING)

(STAMMERING) What's that?

Hey! Skeletor's mean kitty is after some poor gal.

Oh!

Shoo, get out of here, you purple pest.

Yeah! Beat it, you beast!

LARA: Are you all right? I think so.

Why don't you come with us and rest for awhile?

Oh, thank you! You're very kind!

She did it! She's inside and soon the Coridite will be mine!

(LAUGHS)

I don't know how to thank you for saving me.

Oh, that's all right, miss.

Say, what is your name?

I'm Nadira. I was walking out in the forest when I got lost.

Then that horrible beast started chasing me.

Well, don't worry. You're safe here.

But I was traveling with my family when I got lost.

(GASPS) What if I never see them again?

Why, we know the forest like we know our own mines.

We'll find her parents, won't we?

Yeah, sure, we will! (ALL AGREEING)

Oh, thank you!

Squinch, you just stay here and take good care of Miss Nadira.

Will do, Kando!

Don't worry, missy. Kando will find your folks.

(SOBBING)

Hey, hey, maybe this will cheer you up.

Oh! How pretty!

Yeah, we got a whole mine full of 'em!

Really? Oh, I'd love to see them.

Well, how do you like those, eh?

Oh, they're beautiful! But what's behind that door?

No, no, sorry, we don't allow nobody back there.

It's too risky.

Oh, what does a brave, strong guard like you have to be scared about?

Well...

You gotta promise not to touch anything.

We call it Coridite.

We don't have much, but, well, if you use it right

it can really pack a wallop!

EVIL-LYN: Ah, at last!

Hey, you promised!

(LAUGHING)

Evil-Lyn!

You little fool!

You've just sealed He-Man's doom, and your own as well!

(SCREAMS)

Help! Help! Help!

That's Squinch, something's wrong.

Come on!

The Widgets are coming back. But they won't stop me.

(EVIL-LYN LAUGHING)

Get down.

SORCERESS: So Skeletor and Evil-Lyn seek to duplicate

He-Man's mighty power.

This must not be.

(SCREECHES)

(ZOAR SCREECHING)

It's Zoar!

SORCERESS: He-Man, Evil-Lyn has stolen the Widgets' Coridite.

Even now, Skeletor is shaping it in the fires of Volcano Cave.

Skeletor has the Widgets' Coridite?

There's no time to lose.

(ROARING)

He-Man

KANDO: Of all the stupid things to do.

Leading a stranger, an enemy, into our mines.

Squinch didn't know she was an enemy, Kando.

That's no excuse.

Well, you're right, it is no excuse

and I'm gonna get our Coridite back.

Wait! Where are you going?

To Volcano Cave. That's the only place Skeletor can melt it.

Once the Coridite is hot enough,

I'll mold it into the image of my own breast plate.

When worn against my skin it will add to my strength a hundred times over.

Making me mighty enough to crush He-Man.

HE-MAN: That's a pretty big boast, Skeletor.

Would you care to prove it?

He-Man! You mind the Coridite.

I'll stop him.

Demon of Stone, come forth, your mistress commands.

(SNARLING)

Now, with one magical gesture the spell will be complete.

Now I have the power!

Come face me, He-Man.

Power against power.

(GROWLING)

Skeletor!

This is the way it had to end!

With Skeletor triumphant at last!

No! He-Man's winning,

But no matter. With one well-timed spell, I'll...

What? Who dares?

We've come to help, He-Man!

Oh! You little pests.

I'll turn you all into toads forth is.

Well, we'd love to stick around, Miss Nadira,

but as you seem to be tied up...

KANDO: Squinch, come on!

Why you... You... Ah!

Fool, you'll never defeat me. I have your power too!

The only real power comes from inside, Skeletor.

From courage, honor and other things you wouldn't understand.

(ALL CHEERING)

Brave words, He-Man.

We'll see if they save you the next time we meet.

(WIND HOWLING)

I want to thank you again for all your help.

If it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble to begin with.

Well, don't worry, Squinch.

You're not the first to fall for the charms of a pretty face.

Well, I'll tell ya, He-Man.

Oh, I'm through with women for good.

Oh, you are, huh?

Oh, I didn't mean you, Lara. I mean pretty women.

What? (STAMMERING)

You're pretty, for one of the guys, that is...

Oh! For one of the guys, huh?

(LAUGHING)

(BLOWS LANDING) LARA: Take that!

In today's story, you saw how the Widgets were fooled by Evil-Lyn's disguise.

They learned that bad things can be made to look good.

And why we should always be careful and question everything

that doesn't seem right.

But it works both ways.

And that's why the saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" is so important.

What it means is that appearances can be deceiving.

And you shouldn't judge books, or people, by the way they look.

It's what's inside that really counts.
