He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983–1985): Season 1, Episode 12 - Evil-Lyn's Plot - full transcript

Skeletor wants the Coridite, from Widget Fortress, in order to make his own armor to match He-Man's. Evil-Lyn disguises herself in order to gain access to it.

He-Man.

And the Masters of the Universe.

I am Adam, Prince of Eternia.

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 Grayskull.

I have the power!



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.

Squinch!

Who goes there?

Put that pig sticker down
before you hurt someone.

Oh sorry, Kando.

You're here to guard the
fort, not play games.



Uh, yes sir, sir.

All's well up here, huh?

Oh shucks.
It's quieter than flea's hiccup.

Well, with what we're guarding in
our mines, we can't be too careful.

The Widgets' fortress...

once I break in, I'll get
what I need to finish ...

He-Man, once and for all.

Forwards, my lackeys,
in the name of destruction!

Hi Squinch.

Oh, hallo there, Lara. What are
you doing up here?

You are my boyfriend, remember?

I thought you might be
lonesome all by yourself.

Oh, I don't have time to get lonesome.
No, indeedy no!

A guard's gotta be on
his toes all the time.

Always ready to react
to the least, little sound.

It's a whole gang of monsters!

With Skeletor in the lead.

Skeletor?
Oh yikes, we gotta do something like...

like sounding the alarm!

Yes, right, sounding the alarm!

Here they come. What are we gonna do?

This grease will slow them down.

Hey, pretty slick work there, Lara.

Squinch, don't just stand there.

They'll try the south wall next.

I'll get 'em.

Uh... nice kitty kitty!

Witless fools,
do I have to do everything for you?

Skeletor is breaking through!

Our only hope is to alert
our old friend He-Man.

I pray he sees our signal.

Well, it's good to get out of the
Palace now and then, right, Cringer?

Oh...

All this exercise is making me sleepy.

Well, just be thankful you don't
have to work as hard as that Slotto.

Come on, boy, you can make it.

Oh no!

Uh oh, no time to rest now, Cat.

By the power of Grayskull.

I have the power!

Did you uh, lose something?

He-Man!

There you go, fella, good as new.

Thanks, He-Man. I don't know
what we'd have done without you.

I'm glad I could help, have a safe trip.

Keep a sharp look out, Cat,
we might find others...

that need our help today.

I see something, already.

That's the Widget signal. They only
use that in the worst emergencies.

To Widget woods. Hurry!

Victory! Now get in there, you two.

Line up, little friends.

Our master wants a word with you.

Kando, step forward.

Skeletor has come for you.

You have no business here.
You go away and leave us alone.

I shall, little commander,
as soon as you give me your Coridite.

Coridite? Never!

Very well, perhaps my pet,
Panthor, will put you in a...

more reasonable state of mind.

Lets see you pick on someone
your own size, skull-face!

He-Man!

He-Man.

Stop him, you fools!

So, you want to play snap-the-whip, eh?

Mer-Man, let's take him from both sides.

You think you're handy with that
sword, huh? Well, try this:

Anything you can pitch, I can hit back.

No!

Curse you, He-Man. Some day I'll
have the power to destroy you.

Some day!

Thanks, He-Man.
I thought we were doomed.

What was Skeletor after, anyway?

Our Coridite. But he didn't get any!

Coridite?

That's what the Sorceress
fashioned this harness from.

It helps add to my power.

It's too powerful for us to use.
So we keep what little we find...

hidden in our mines.

Yeah! Deep down where
no one's gonna find it.

Well I hope you're right, Squinch.

I'd hate to think what would happen
if Skeletor got his hands on it.

Dolts! Half-wits!

Bunglers! Brainless idiots!

You couldn't even beat a
motley group of gnomes!

But, Skeletor.
It was He-Man who...

He-Man, always He-Man!

If you had gotten your wretched
hands on the Widgets' Coridite...

He-Man would be in my power now.

Get out of my sight.

Morons!

As usual, you overreact, Skeletor.

How else can I act,
when I'm surrounded by such fools!

If I could fashion the Widgets'
Coridite into an amulet...

it would work with my own dark powers...

giving me the added
strength to destroy He-Man.

True!

But what you need,
is a clever ally to get it for you.

In this form...

the Widgets will never
suspect my real identity.

Once they take me into their confidence,
the Coridite will be ours.

For your sake, this had better work.

Don't worry,
those kind-hearted fools would...

never turn away a girl in distress.
Right, Panthor?

Help! Oh, help!

What... what's that?

Hey! Skeletor's mean kitty
is after some poor gal!

Shoo, get outta here, you purple pest.

Yeah, beat it, beast.

Are you alright? I, think so.

Why don't you come with
us and rest for a while?

Oh, thank you. You're very kind.

She did it. She's inside,

and soon the Coridite will be mine!

I don't know how to
thank you for saving me.

Oh, it's alright, Miss, uh say...

What is your name?

I'm Nadira. I was walking
out in the forest when I got lost...

then that horrible beast
started chasing me.

Well, don't worry, you're safe here.

But, I was travelling with
my family when I got lost.

What if I never see them again?

Why, we know the forest
like we know our own mines.

We'll find her parents, won't we?

Yeah. Sure we will. All for it.

Oh thank you.

Squinch, you just stay here and take
good care of Miss Nadira.

Will do, Kando.

Don't worry, missy.
Kando will find your folks.

Aw.

Maybe this will cheer you up.

Oh, how pretty!

Yeah, we got a whole mine full of 'em.

Really?

Oh! I'd love to see them.

Well, how'd you like those, eh?

Oh, they're beautiful!
But what's behind that door?

No, sorry, we don't allow
nobody back there, it's too risky.

Oh, what does a brave, strong guard
like you, have to be scared about?

Well, you gotta promise
not to touch anything.

We call it Coridite.

We don't have much, but well, if you use
it right, it can really pack a wallop.

At last!

Hey, you promised.

Evil-Lyn.

You little fool!
You've just sealed He-Man's doom...

and your own as well!

Help! Help!

That's Squinch. Something's wrong.

C'mon.

The Widgets are coming back.
But they won't stop me.

Get down.

So, Skeletor and Evil-Lyn
seek to duplicate He-Man's mighty powers.

This must not be.

It's Zoar.

He-Man, Evil-Lyn has stolen
the Widget's Coridite.

Even now Skeletor is shaping it
in the fires of Volcano Cave.

Skeletor has the Widgets' Coridite.
There's no time to lose.

Of all the stupid things to do!
Leading a stranger, an enemy...

into our mines?

Squinch didn't know she was an
enemy, Kando.

Thats no excuse.

Well, you're right, it is no excuse,
and I'm gonna get our Coridite back!

Wait, where are you going?

To Volcano Cave. That's the
only place Skeletor can melt it.

Once the Coridite is hot enough...

I'll mold it into the image
of my own breastplate.

When worn against my skin, it will add
to my strength a hundred times over...

making me mighty enough to crush He-Man!

That's a pretty big boast, Skeletor.

Would you care to prove it?

He-Man!

You mind the Coridite. I'll stop him.

Demon of Stone, come forth!
Your mistress commands.

Now, with one magical gesture,
the spell will be complete.

Now I have the power!

Come face me, He-Man...

power against power.

Skeletor.

This is the way it had to end!

With Skeletor triumphant at last!

No!

He-Man's winning!
But no matter, with one...

well-timed spell, I'll...

Who dares?

We've come to help, He-Man.

You little pests...

I'll turn you all into toads for this.

Oh, we'd love to stick around, Miss.
Nadira...

but as you seem to be tied up.

Squinch, come on!

Why you... You!

Fool, you'll never defeat me,
I have your power too.

The only real power comes from
inside, Skeletor.

From courage,

honor and other things
you wouldn't understand!

Brave words, He-Man.

We'll see if they save
you the next time we meet.

I want to thank you
again for all your help.

Well, if it hadn't been for me, we wouldn't

have gotten into trouble to begin with.

Well, don't worry, Squinch.

You're not the first to fall
for the charms of a pretty face.

Oh, I'll tell ya, He-Man, Oh,
I'm through with women with for good!

Oh, you are, huh?

Oh, I didn't mean you,
Lara, I mean pretty women.

What!

No, uh...
you're pretty, for one of the guys.

Oh, for one of the guys, huh?

Ooh. Ow.

No! Hi-ya.

In today's story you saw how
the Widgets were fooled...

by Evil-Lyn's disguise. They learned that
bad things can be made to look good...

and why we should always be careful and

question everything
that doesn't seem right.

But it works both ways,

and that's why the saying "You can't judge
a book by its cover" is so important.

What it means is that
appearances can be deceiving...

and you shouldn't judge books,
or people, by the way they look.

It's what's inside that really counts.
