A fierce storm, raging around Snake Mountain, uncovers a secret passage beneath the ancient fortress. Skeletor, Evil-Lyn and Beast Man investigate, and they find a mystic-looking glass called the Mirror of Moruvad, which has the power to create a double of anyone which is the opposite of what they are.

He captures Koldar, a heroic ally of He-Man's, who has just arrived at the palace for a welcoming ceremony. He uses the Mirror to create an evil double of Koldar, which he sends to the Palace, to trick He-Man into letting him enter Castle Grayskull!

However, naive young boys have been impressed by Johno's stunt, and Count Marzo uses the drug-addicted boy to lure them all to his evil services so he can use the flower to get them all under his power... when the heroic warriors realise what is happening, it is down to them to foil Marzo's plan and rescue Johno from his addiction before the children of Eternia are doomed.
