Skeletor captures Teela and Orko, and sends them to be imprisoned in the dark, dismal kingdom of Morragor, ruled over by an enslaved monster in thrall to Skeletor.

As He-Man journeys to rescue his friends, Teela, seeing the monster's true personality beneath the surface, encourages him to break himself free from his unwilling devotion to Skeletor.
