When Orko is captured by an intergalactic criminal called the Slavemaster, Orko's friend Squonge who is visiting from Trolla goes for help. Unfortunately, Adam, Teela, and Man-At-Arms are not sure whether or not to believe him due to his tendency to exaggerate or outright make things up. However, they go to check just in case he is telling the truth and find evidence of Orko where the Slavemaster's ship once had been. They know that the Slavemaster wants the strongest man on Eternia for his mines, so Man-At-Arms concocts a plan to draw attention to He-Man, so that he can be captured and taken to where Orko is, as they have no idea where the Slavemaster has taken him. Orko tells viewers not to make up stories or exaggerate, lest nobody trust even their true stories.
**Orko:** "In our story today, Squonge learned a valuable lesson. Squonge exaggerated and made up stories, which caused people a lot of trouble. And later, when he needed people to believe him, they didn't. You know, Squonge made up stories to make people think that he was important. And what he learned was, we're all important! Every one of us. Goodbye for now."

- Continuity: Among the Slavemaster's slaves are the reused character models of Gleedil from Quest for He-Man and a member of the same Lizard Man species. The animation of He-Man punch, spinning crescent kick and throw tactic was first seen in Quest for He-Man. The kick would also be seen on it's own in Attack from Below. The briefly seen village of Ruxtown and it's inhabitants will have a much larger role in Monster on the Mountain.
