Synopsis
(Ink & Paint DVD booklet description: Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, and Whiplash attack the Royal Palace with an army of Spiderdroids so that they can kidnap Teela and Orko. Skeletor transports the pair in cryonic freeze capsules to Moragore, a kingdom under his control. The ruler of Moragore, a disfigured Prince known to many as the Monster of Moragore, greets them. After a failed rescue attempt at Snake Mountain He-Man seeks help from the Sorceress, as Teela and Orko, upon seeing the good within Prince Moragore, attempt to overthrow Skeletor's evil rule!)

Moral
Teela: "Well Orko, did you learn a lesson?" Orko: "I sure did, that sometimes fairytales come true!" Prince Moragore: "My lesson was more difficult. With Teela's help, I learned to look past my ugliness. Because the truth is that no matter how you look, you're only as ugly, or as beautiful, as the way you act." He-Man: "A hard lesson, for sure, but you learned it well."
