♪ ♪

Hmm, sounds like
a storm's coming.

Let's find some of that salk
weed and get back to the palace.

Maybe we should split up.

Good idea.

You three look for the weed,
and I'll go back to the palace.

[He-Man] That's my hero.

Cringer and I
will go this way.

Duncan,
why don't you try over there.

Orko, you go that way.

What am I looking for?

It's a bright orange weed
that grows on trees.

If it's there,
you can't miss it.

We'll meet back here
in minutes.

[thunder crashing]

Oh, I don't like this.

Sorry, Cringer, but I need the
weed for one of my experiments.

[Orko] Relax, Cringer.
There's nothing to worry about.

[thunder rumbling]

♪ ♪

I sure haven't seen
any orange weeds.

That must be it.

A monster!

Help!

Ugh.

Oh, my.

[Man-At-Arms]
minutes and still no Orko.

I don't like it.

Neither do I.

Well, at least
the storm's passed.

Something's coming.

[footsteps]

[He-Man] Orko?

Who are you?

[He-Man] Wait, come back.

Will he be all right?

Yes, looks like he just got
the wind knocked out of him.

Oh, well, that's good news.

Come on, old buddy.

Wake up.

Eh, where am I?

What happened?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, the monster.

Adam, quick, become He-Man!

There's a giant monster
in there.

There, there, Orko.

Everything's all right now.

There's no monster.

Now, tell us what happened.

Well, I found some salk weed,

and then this big,
ugly monster att*cked me.

He must have hit me.

Quick,
we got to get out of here.

Orko, are you certain
he att*cked you?

Yeah, I mean, well, I could
have run into a tree, I suppose.

Hey, wait a minute.

How did I get back here?

Well, this monster,
as you call him,

brought you back,
along with your pouch.

Hmm, let's look inside.

This so-called monster
must be pretty bright.

He knew what you were
looking for, Orko.

None of this adds up.

I want to know who that giant is

and how he knew that we were
looking for salk weed.

Oh, couldn't we just leave
well enough alone?

[Man-At-Arms]
He must be a spy for Skeletor,

or he could be
someone in trouble.

We better go after him.

Do we have to?

Yes, as He-Man.

Oh, no.

By the power of Grayskull!

And you,

It's no good, He-Man.

I'm afraid we've lost him.

Let's hurry.

[Man-At-Arms] What on Eternia?

I don't like
the looks of that.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

I have him now.

[machinery whirring]

[warbling tone]

[Keeper] Ha-ha!

Got him!

Be careful, He-Man.

What's this?

That muscle man would make a
prize attraction in my sideshow,

but he requires a special trap.

But there is one
I could capture right now!

That strange little elf.

Be careful
you don't get caught, He-Man.

[whirring]

Hey!

Help!

[He-Man] Orko!

[Keeper]
I know you're in a hurry

to rejoin your friends,
muscle man.


Don't worry.

You'll be seeing them
soon enough.


In the meantime,

perhaps you'd like to play
with one of my pets.


But I should warn you,

Scorpio likes to play rough.

[roaring]

Have fun.

[laughs]

If that muscle man
really can tackle Scorpio,

he'll be the prize
of my collection.


Man-At-Arms.

It's going to take all my
strength to stop that thing,

Well, do something.

Look out!

Well, well, well.

And how
are my two newest prizes?

Just rotten, thanks.

And how about you, giant?

What's the matter?
Can't you speak?

Typical.
Big but dumb.

No matter.

As long as you can manage
a few grunts,

you'll keep
my paying customers happy.

And now I must leave you.

My sensors picked up
a winged man nearby,

so we'll pay him a visit now.

Hey, when you gonna
let us out of here?

Oh, I'm not.

You and your friend

are now a permanent part
of my traveling sideshow.

[suspenseful music]

♪ ♪

[Orko] Well, this is just great.

I start out the day
looking for salk weed,

and I wind up
as part of a circus sideshow.

Can't you say anything?

Well, I better try
to get us out of here.

[Cambro] Don't.

[sizzling]

Huh?

Those bars are electrified.

You spoke.

Well, it sure
took you long enough.

Longer than you know.

This is the first time
I've said a word in many years.

I don't get it.
Why not?

Because I was ridiculed
for my great size,

because I was hated
for my fearsome appearance,

because I was an outcast
from the world of men,

because people are cruel.

Even you feared me at first.

I know,
and I'm sorry.

[Cambro] Years ago, I fled
the cities to live as a hermit

in the Evergreen Forest
with my friends.

Friends?

The wild creatures of nature.

They do not ridicule me.

In all that time,

I've spoken to no one,
until now.

Well, I'm sure glad you did.

My name's Orko.
What's yours?

It's Cambro, little friend.

Well, now we got
to get out of here somehow.

I could bend the bars,
but they aren't safe to touch.

That looks like the control
panel over there.

If there were some way
to shut it off...

Hey, well, I've got a few
magic tricks up my sleeve.

Thunder, lightning,
clatter, and hail,

make my body thin as a rail.

[shimmering tone]

Now what?

He said something
about going after a winged man.

He must be going to Avion
to capture my friend Stratos,

the bird man.

If only we could contact He-Man
and Man-At-Arms somehow.


This is an intercom

for talking
with other places in the ship,

but it could be
turned into a long-range radio

to contact your friends.

[Orko] Oh, great.

But who can do that?

I can.

Huh?

But I need a seal remover.

One seal remover coming up.

Uh, what would a lollipop do?

No, uh...

[Cambro]
This is going to take some time.

[Orko] I only hope that
He-Man's doing all right

against that awful monster.

[He-Man] I think we lost
that scorpion creature.

[roaring]

[He-Man] Wrong again.

If I can't stop that thing soon,

You have your freedom.

It is enough.

They all understand you.

How?

For years,
I have lived as a hermit

among their kind in the wild.

I understand them,
and they understand me.

Uh, it's a long story, He-Man.

And so you had the knowledge
to turn the ship's intercom

into a long-range device
to contact us, Cambro.

Yes.

As a youth,
I excelled at science.

I graduated
from the science academy

by the time I was .

But by the time I was ,

my great size
and frightening appearance

created fear and hatred
in all those who saw me.

It is unfortunate that there
are still people in the world

who judge a person
by the way he looks.

Well, I've been looking
for a new lab assistant.

Orko, could you recommend one?

Him!
Him!

Well, Cambro, what do you say?

In all my life, I have never
experienced such kindness

as I have received
from you three.

Thank you all.

You've been away from humanity
for a long time, Cambro.

There are still many of us
who judge a person

by his appearance,
but we're learning not to.

Perhaps from the example of
your intelligence and courage,

more will learn.

Today I learned something
about judging other people

by the way they look.

Just because Cambro
looked different,


I was frightened of him,

and I thought
he was some kind of monster.

But he turned out to be
kind and gentle and smart.


I hope you'll try to remember
not to judge people

by the way they look
and not to make fun of them

if they look different.

People deserve to be judged
on their words

and especially on their actions.

From now on,
I'm gonna give them a chance.

I hope you will too.
Bye!
