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 Grayskull!"

Only three others share this secret:

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

Together we defend Castle Grayskull

[pinging tones]

[Skeletor] And where have you two been?

You were to report back upon completion.

[Evil-Lyn] We ran into a little problem, Skeletor.

[Skeletor] You did plant the Globe under the Royal Palace?

Not exactly.

He-Man caught us. He took it!

The both of you are fools!

Go back and find that Globe

and plant it so it will grow.

And if you fail again,

I will not be so understanding.

[blast]

[Man-At-Arms] And so you took the Globe away from them, hmm?

Yes, it's safely hidden away in Castle Grayskull.

Nice work, lad.

Don't tell me. Tell He-Man.

I am telling He-Man.

[ping]

Come in!

Adam, your father's been looking

everywhere for you.

Where have you been?

Uh, well, I was just out

on some royal business.

Hmm. As in monkey business?

Well, you better report to your father.

He was a little surprise for you.

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

Adam, this is your cousin Jeremy.

Wow, the last time I saw you,

you were just a baby.

Big deal.

Jeremy will be visiting us.

I want you to take charge of him

while he's here, Adam.

But, Father, my royal duties.

They will have to wait.

Now show Jeremy a good time.

You are certainly qualified in that department.

Oh, all right.

Let's go, cousin.

Don't call me cousin.

Sorry.

Jeremy, this is Man-At-Arms.

Don't you have a real name?

My friends call me Duncan.

That's not much better.

[giggles]

Listen, you...

I'm Orko. Pleased to meet you.

Hi.

Well, if you like, I could show you some magic and...

Maybe later. Look at all this stuff.

What's this?

Be careful with that.

It's my new rock softener.

What's it for?

Well, to convert rocky areas

to soil for farming.

Now put it down.

I haven't even tested it yet.

Don't worry. I'll test it for you.

Jeremy, don't.

[glass shatters]

Sorry.

But now it's been tested.

Young man, someone ought to teach you

some manners and respect for other people's property.

Uh, why don't we wait in the hall?

That's a good idea, Orko.

Go ahead, Jeremy.

You've caused enough trouble in here.

Hey, Jeremy, how come you were

so mean to Man-At-Arms?

Uh, I'm just sick of grown-ups spoiling my fun.

I know how you feel, but Adam and Man-At-Arms are okay.

They like to have fun too.

Oh, yeah? We'll see.

Yeah, my cousin's a real charmer, all right.

Well, I'm worried, Adam.

That boy's going to cause big trouble.

I can feel it in my bones.

I'll keep a close eye on him.

You're needed for other things,

like now; you were going to help me test the rock softener

out on the plains.

Oh, I forgot, all right.

I'll have to leave Jeremy with someone else for a while.

The question is,

who's gonna be the lucky babysitter?

Uh, sure, Prince Adam.

I'll look after him. [chuckles]

Jeremy, stay with Ram Man for a while,

and don't play in any of those vehicles.

They're dangerous.

Yeah. Sure.

Duh, don't worry.

I...I got a way with youngsters.

Yeah, it's a little too soft.

we have powers too.

If we just had...

Uh, Prince Adam's cousin, Jeremy,

he decided to go for a little joyride.

Why, Jeremy?

I thought it'd be fun.

Somebody could have been hurt.

That's not my idea of fun.

When we're through, we'll take you back,

the rest of the day in your room.

Hmm, when Adam hears what you've done,

I guarantee he'll agree with He-Man.

Forget the globe, three-eyes.

That new invention is much more valuable.

[Jeremy] This isn't fair!

You said I could go to the street market!

You were told not to play with the vehicles.

I just wanted to have some fun.

What you think is fun might be dangerous to others.

Or yourself.

I can take care of myself.

I don't need anyone's help.

Well, you did today.

Duncan, let me talk to him

alone for a few minutes.

Hm, be my guest.

So you don't need anyone's help, huh?

That's right.

I do; I need the help of people

who care about me.

Everybody does.

I'll bet He-Man doesn't need

anybody else's help.

That's not true.

How do you know?

I know He-Man a lot better than you think.

Look, even if you could take care of yourself,

how would you feel if something you did hurt someone else?

Maybe even killed them?

Think about that.

Well, going to the street market's not gonna hurt anybody.

[indistinct chatter]

All right, all right, you can try the magneto boomerang.

Just quit nagging me, will you?

There's a target on top of that building.

I want to keep it!

I told you: You don't have enough money.

Perhaps this would be enough.

Ah, yes, yes. [laughs]

Yeah, the magneto boomerang is yours, my friend.

Oh, one moment, young man.

I paid for that,

but you can keep it

if you help me play a little joke.

On who?

An old friend of mine,

Man-At-Arms.

That grouch?

Sure, I'll help you.

Good.

There's a little box with flashing lights

in his laboratory.

Yeah, his rock softener.

Bring it back here to me.

And I get to keep it? The boomerang?

Deal! I hope it's a good joke.

[sinister music]

The joke will be on He-Man

and all of Eternia.

[cackling]

[King] You'll be going home tomorrow, Jeremey.

Have you enjoyed your stay?

Eh, it's been all right.

[Man-At-Arms] Uh, Your Majesty.

Adam, the rock softener,

someone's taken it.

That device was for the good of everybody.

Who would have taken it?

I can't imagine.

Unless...

What's the hardest substance

on the planet?

The walls of Grayskull.

I don't get it.

Why is everyone so upset?

Skeletor's warriors could use

the rock softener to enter Castle Grayskull.

If that happened,

all of Eternia would fall to the forces of evil.

[gulps]

Does that mean that...

that people would... would get hurt?

Maybe even killed?

Jeremy, do you know anything about this?

Kind of.

[He-Man] Now this is serious.

Tell us what you know right now.

I took the rock softener.

A woman asked me to.

A woman?

You can bet it was Evil-Lyn.

She said it was a joke.

She bought me a boomerang.

You've made a grave mistake, young man.

Man-At-Arms, alert Captain Teela at once.

Eternia's only hope

is that somehow He-Man will get word.
