I am Adam,

This is Cringer,
my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers
were revealed to me

my magic sword and said,

"By the power of Grayskull!"

Only three others

our friends the Sorceress,

Orko? Where are you, Orko?

[muffled] Here I am.

Now I know why Cringer
refused to come with us.

This snow is cold. Brr!

[laughs]

Look at them, like two kids.

Mother and Father
really needed this vacation.

So did I.
Being a magician is hard work.

Let's take a shortcut
and b*at them

to the bottom of the mountain.

[Randor] Marlena,
you're asking for trouble.

[thud]

Marlena, where did you go?

[wind whistling]

Marlena!

Is something wrong,
Your Highness?

The queen, she was here
just a moment ago.

Now...

Is this a prank? Come out now.

I have a bad feeling
about this.

Well, we'll help search,
Your Highness.

She's probably just hiding,
waiting to surprise you.

My queen, can you hear me?

Queen Marlena! Your Majesty!

Marlena, are you hurt, dear?

Very strange.

[Randor] Man-At-Arms!

[Man-At-Arms] Your Highness!

[Teela] Father!

[wind whistling]

[zapping]

Okay, whoever
or whatever you are.

They should
have been here by now.

I'm hungry. Where's the food?

In the Wind Raider. Get on.

All right,
but don't go so fast!

Strange, the way
all the tracks just stop.

Well, maybe I should use
my magic.

[He-Man] No, but I think
it may be time for He-Man to...

[rumbling]

Prince Adam!

Yikes!

I don't know
what's going on here,

but Prince Adam will
turn into He-Man anytime now

and pop through the snow.

Wouldn't hurt to investigate
on my own.

It seems solid.

I guess I better use some magic.

Stuff that's cold,
secrets unfold.

Whoa!

Anybody around here
ever heard of stairs?

[grunts]

I better find the others fast.

Maybe I can borrow a coat.

This is a big place.

Maybe I better use some more
of my magic to find everyone.

[Ice Lord] That's good, Slush.
Thank you.

- [Orko] Oh, no.
- [snipping]

[snipping]

My apologies, Your Majesties,
for this rude treatment.

I had hoped our first meeting

would be under
more pleasant circumstances.

So now we wait until
that legendary hero He-Man

appears for your rescue.

Well, he's got
a long wait coming.

He doesn't know it,
but he's got He-Man right there.

Unless there's something
I can do.

Let me think.

I look forward
to meeting this He-Man.

Tales of his mighty feats

have reached
even our cold mountains.

He's never met He-Man?

Wand of light,
become sword of might.

It worked!

Well, here...here g-goes.

When this is all over,
maybe you will permit me to...

Who...who dares hold
He-Man's friends like this?

You are He-Man?

I am He-Man.

[Ice Lord laughs]

Don't make me angry.

You doubt me?
Release my friends at once.

If you are He-Man,
the test is simple.

Slush, put him with the others.

[Orko] Oh, my.

[Ice Lord] Slush would not
be much trouble

for the real He-Man.

Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my!

[stammering] Hug-a-mug,
melt that bug.

[zapping]

[zapping]

[rumbling]

[zapping]

Now, will you release
my friends,

or must I do it myself?

No!

He-Man, I beseech you.

I know you are mighty
and powerful.

But if it must be,

I will use all of my resources
to try and stop you.

I have others like Slush,
and I have powers of my own.

I don't want to do this.

Then why are you?

Because I must.

Perhaps we can strike a bargain.

What kind of bargain?

The evil Skeletor
has taken my daughter.

She is being held
against her will at his castle.

For her return,
I have been ordered

to turn over the royal family.

If you will rescue my daughter,
I will free your friends.

You will free them first?

That I cannot do.

But I insist you free one
as a token of good trust.

I have your word as He-Man
that you will free my daughter?

You have my promise
that I will try.

It is agreeable, then.

Which one?

[Orko] The one on the end.

[Ice Lord] Why that one?

[Orko] He is my assistant.

He-Man,
thank you for rescuing me.

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

[Orko] You're not mad at me

for impersonating He-Man,
are you?

No, you did what you had to do
to save us.

[Orko] Whew, good.

Now you can become He-Man,

and we'll rescue the others.

No, first we must journey
to Skeletor's lair

and rescue
the Ice Lord's daughter.

You gave your word as He-Man.

I suppose a promise
is a promise.

But He-Man will be needed
for the immediate task.

By the power of Grayskull...

[Orko] But Skeletor's home...

You did okay
against that giant ice spider.

Sure, but now
that you're He-Man,

you can handle anything
without me.

I'm going to need
all the help I can get.

After all,
I'm only your assistant.

Oh, that.

Well, I had to say something

to get him to release
Prince Adam.

It's all right.

It's all right, Orko.

I'm just joking. [chuckles]

You did a terrific job.

I couldn't have done better
myself.

Really?

All I get is...snow.

After the Ice Lord brings me

then I will make him
pay for this.

Oh!

But what if he doesn't
bring you the royal family?

Fool! Of course he will.

He wants his daughter back,

Oh, yes, Orko.

I don't know how to repay
either of you.

You could teach me
how to do that ice trick.

[Snowflake] I'd like that.

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

[Ice Lord] I truly apologize,
King Randor,

but I was trapped by Skeletor

and knew of no other way
to save my daughter.

Next time, just ask for help.

I'll remember that.

Please thank He-Man for me.

I never did thank him properly.

Which He-Man do you mean?

Both of my He-Men.

He-Man. Ha!

[whistle blowing]

The hero always gets the reward.

Orko certainly helped us out
in today's adventure,

and he learned
a good lesson too.

He made a promise
to the Ice Lord

he thought he could break,

but Adam showed him
you shouldn't make a promise

knowing you're not
going to keep it.

People judge you
by many things:

your appearance, your honesty,
the way you act.

Those things show
your character.

When you make a promise
and don't keep it,

it shows bad character.

So always think before you speak
and mean what you say.

That way, what you say
will be respected.

See you again soon.
