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
(LOUD MECHANICAL HUMMING)
Space pirates.
STICKY FINGERS: And because of our generosity,
we're only going to take half your crops.
Half? But you can't. We need...
Shh!
We'd better let them have what they want.
Just to be sure there's no trouble,
no one is to leave the village.
I've got to get help.
Everything will be fine, as long as you do what I say.
Ah! That one's not trying out for the track team!
Go after her.
Yes.
ADAM: Well, it's obviously a campground
our ancestors used thousands of years ago.
Campground?
Ooh, let's camp.
(STAMMERING) My feet are killing me.
I'll make a note of the location.
Oh, this area's so remote, we might not find it again.
Let me. I'll locate it on my special map.
Now, let's see. This is north.
Or is it south?
Well, it's got to be one of those, doesn't it?
GIRL: Help! Help!
TEELA: Someone's in trouble.
(LASER FIRING)
(HISSING) Stop.
Help!
I'll go see what's going on, Adam. You stay here.
All right, Teela. Adam will stay right here.
(STAMMERING) Good idea.
But I get the feeling that He-Man won't.
Oh, come on. It wasn't Avery loud call for help.
Loud enough, Cringer.
By the power of Gray skull...
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
He-Man
...I have the power!
He-Man
(ROARING)
Let's go, Cat.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
Hey, wait for me.
(THUDS)
(GRUNTS IN PAIN) On second thought, I'll just wait here.
Get me to that perma-vine, Cat.
You shouldn't have left the village.
What's this?
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
What are you doing here, He-Man?
I heard a call for help.
Didn't you?
Help!
We'll see about this.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
You just don't know when to quit, do you?
He-Man
Careful not to rock the boat.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
The pirates said they'd take half the village's food,
and if we tried to stop them...
We've had trouble with space pirates before.
Then you'll help? Try and stop us.
But I wish He-Man hadn't gone.
I got a feeling he isn't all that far away.
Well, (CLEARS THROAT) this time I'm going along with you, Teela.
All right, Adam.
Orko, I want you to get back to the palace.
What? Miss all the fun?
(STAMMERS) I'll go. I don't mind missing that kind of fun.
Stick around, Cringer. You might be needed.
(WHIMPERS)
That's what I'm afraid of.
Go ahead, Orko.
Someone has to tell Man-At-Arms to bring the guards.
Now, this time we'll take care of all these space pirates
once and for all.
HARRO: But you said you'd only take half our crop.
We changed our minds.
But we won't have any food.
Too bad.
We will.
(LAUGHS)
We've got to do something.
Not me.
Don't make waves, that's what I say.
(TIRES SQUEAL)
Looks to me like you're trying to get away with something.
Where are you going with that cart?
Who wants to know?
I knew I should have gone with Orko.
Rose, who are these people?
They're friends, Father.
They just saved my life.
Get rid of those landlubbers.
I'd better get out of the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I'll do.
Ow! Ooh, ooh, sorry.
Here, look at that great sword.
My sword!
Oh, why is it always up to us?
Back off, swabs.
And just who are you?
They call me Sticky Fingers.
Got 'em.
What? I can't move.
What is this stuff?
(GRUNTING) It's... It's tar.
This is worse than stepping in Orko's bubble gum.
Yuck!
(LAUGHS)
There's no use struggling.
My special tar can hold an army.
If I can only get to my sword.
HARRO: They're taking all our crops.
Adam and Teela are the only ones
who tried to stop them.
And now they're in jail.
Rose, where are you going?
They're my friends.
I'm going to help them escape.
HARRO: Wait! Don't try to stop me, Father.
Stop you? I'm going with you.
They're my friends too.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
(WHIMPERS) I've got to get out of here.
I can't stand it, I tell you.
Cringer, we've only been here 15 minutes.
I wonder where He-Man is?
If I don't find my sword,
He-Man won't ever be around anymore.
Hello there. What?
I brought the prisoners' food.
Would you like to try some?
Adam, look!
ADAM: Harro.
Shh! This used to be a warehouse.
The old storage cellars are below here. Come on.
Gladly.
(CHOMPING)
Huh? What's that?
Aren't you even going to try my dessert?
Hey, wait for me.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
You let them escape?
Oh, mangy oaf!
(STAMMERS) I couldn't help it. I was (GULPS) busy.
Well, that leaves only one thing to do.
Since you fools can't do your jobs...
I got you that sword, didn't I?
Big deal.
STICKY FINGERS: Turn the Tracker loose.
(STAMMERS) The Tracker?
Ah, yeah. Yeah, the Tracker.
STICKY FINGERS: He'll find those troublemakers.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
ROSE: They won't find us here.
TEELA: The pirates have already looted this place.
ADAM: Then hopefully, they won't be back.
Maybe I can talk to the villagers,
convince them to stand up to the pirates.
They're good people, but they're afraid.
(LOUD SQUEALING)
(GASPS AND WHIMPERS) I think I hear something nasty coming this way.
Look! (CREATURE SQUEALING)
It must be tracking us.
(SNORTING)
(POUNDING ON DOOR)
I think it's (STAMMERS) found us.
(POUNDING ON DOOR)
Give me a hand, Harro.
(TRACKER ROARS)
Let me help too.
Yeah, well, what I'll do is hide.
(TRACKER HOWLING)
(SNEEZES)
TEELA: I doubt this will keep that beast off.
(ROARING)
(ROARS)
(SNORTING AND SUCKING)
No one can hide from it.
With that nose, it can sniff out anything.
(CRINGER SNEEZING)
Maybe it's a good thing it sniffed us out here.
You've got to be kidding.
Now I know you're kidding.
Hey, old buddy. Let's give it something to really sniff at.
A little of this spice should do the trick.
(SNEEZING)
Yeah, I'd say that takes care of him. (SNEEZING)
I can't believe that no one will do anything about the pirates.
They say there's nothing we can do.
I've got to find my sword.
There are more important things than your sword, Adam.
Hmm. That's what she thinks.
Cringer, I'm afraid it's going to be up to you to find my sword.
(STAMMERS) Me?
Teela and I have something to take care of here.
(STAMMERS) But, that pirate took it.
You don't have to do anything, Cringer.
Just find out where it is now.
Well, if you say so.
(STAMMERS) But I wish you hadn't said so.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
You can deal with these pirates.
All you need is a little courage and to work together.
But I couldn't stop the pirates from taking my crops.
And they took my whole catch.
That's because each of you was alone.
Look at it this way.
Everyone is able to do at least one thing well.
What we have to do is put them all together.
Well, what do you have in mind?
I have an idea that just might get rid
of Sticky Fingers and his friends.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
STICKY FINGERS: Hurry up over there.
We can't stay on this goody-goody planet forever.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
All this niceness makes me sick.
TRACKER: Ah... Stop that.
Ah...
Those villagers will pay for defying us.
Tell the men to hurry it up.
He, he doesn't have Adam's sword.
Oh, now what do I do?
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
I hope this is going to work, Adam.
Don't worry about a thing. It'll work.
I hope.
STICKY FINGERS: Now, we've got all their food.
Unless they're holding out on us.
Tell the men to search the village.
Don't leave a crumb behind.
He doesn't have the sword either.
Nobody has the sword, except...
(GULPS)
Sticky Fingers.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
The pirates are coming.
Then this is it. Everyone knows what to do.
Let's go.
Remember what Sticky Fingers said.
Take all their food.
Every last crumb.
There's more.
(CREAKING)
(THUDS)
Where is everybody?
(WHIMPERS)
There's somebody.
The big, silly pussycat.
Now look here.
(WHIMPERS)
(STAMMERS) No, I mean, don't look here.
Oh, I almost forgot.
You said not to do anything, but I couldn't help it.
Here's your sword.
Good going, Cringer.
I'd better make use of it right now.
By the power of Gray skull...
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
He-Man
...I have the power!
He-Man
(ROARING)
Come on, Cat.
Let's help the villagers mop up
the rest of those pirates.
He-Man
(ROARS)
GIRL: They're coming! Load them up!
Fire!
Bull's-eye!
(HISSING)
I can't see. I can't see.
Turn left. Left.
I said left, you swab.
(HISSES) I always did get those two mixed up.
ALL: Help!
I've got to save those kids.
(GRUNTING)
Wow, He-Man saved us!
Let's get out of here.
(ROARS) HE-MAN: Going somewhere, fellas?
(HISSES)
Not him again.
You should have a barrel of fun with this.
Now for their leader.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
Just the man I wanted to see.
(LAUGHS) He-Man.
Looking for your motley crew, Sticky Fingers?
They seem to be busy elsewhere.
I don't need them to get at you.
(LAUGHS)
You guys are going to stick around for a long time.
Not as long as you think.
Oh! I think it's time to leave now.
He-Man, you got here after all.
I did take awhile,
but now Sticky Fingers is trying to escape
with all the village food.
Let's go, Cat.
(ROARS)
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
(ENGINE POWERING UP)
He-Man
(GRUNTS)
What's happening?
Now there's a real troublemaker.
(GRUNTING)
(LOUD CRASH)
(ALL CHEER)
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
You don't have to worry about him and his men anymore.
I'll see that they're brought to justice.
Oh! I'm just an innocent bystander.
We all want to thank you.
For what you've done for us.
It's what you did for yourselves that matters.
Once you got together, worked together,
you got the job done.
Too bad I wasn't here.
With my magic, I could have made this miserable pirate disappear.
Eeny, meeny, to and fro.
Now I'll make the pirate go.
Orko, don't!
Uh... Sorry, Man-At-Arms.
(LAUGHS)
Orko, if I were you,
I think I'd make myself disappear.
I think you're right.
So long, everybody.
(ALL LAUGH)
Today's story was about cooperation,
working together to get a job done.
Have you ever tried to lift something heavy?
With help from a friend or two, the job becomes easier.
If we offer to help someone with or her job,
that person might be willing to help us
when we have a tough job to do.
That's how people cooperate,
by helping each other to get things done.
Why, a job that's dull and boring
can be fun with a friend's help.
Give it a try.
Until next time, bye-bye.
