Beast Man and Trap Jaw have got the Amber Crystal and capture Orko.
**Orko:** "Hi kids, I wanted to talk to you for a moment about today's show. You saw me playing tricks on my enemies, all sorts of tricks. And it was pretty funny. But sometimes people try to play tricks on each other for fun. Well, it isn't! Lots of times a trick can scare your friends, or even hurt them. So play it safe and leave the tricks to the pros, like me!"

- Behind the scenes: Script was approved August 22, 1984 and final script revision took place January 15, 1985. Trap Jaw's meal is called Geflin Grease Pie in the script and it can only be eaten by mechanical beings such as him. Writer J. Larry Carroll reused the Crystal of Millarca name for the Amulet of Millarca in the Filmation Ghostbusters series episode titled _Little Big Bat._
- Beastman quotes the late American comedy actor Oliver Hardy when he says to Trap Jaw: "Well, this is another fine mess you've gotten me into". This line was often used by Hardy who would say this to his comedy partner Stan Laurel in their films.
- Continuity: Beast Man mentions Roast Gooble, a Trollan delicacy introduced in Trouble in Trolla. The animation of Beast Man throwing seeds is based on the rotoscoped stock animation of He-Man's overhead sword chop. The shot of Teela holding Man-At-Arms' shoulder is a reanimated version of a sequence in which Teela held He-Man's shoulder seen in The Sleepers Awaken and The Problem with Power. A version in which Teela is replaced by the Sorceress is seen in Origin of the Sorceress.
After an extended absence on Trolla, Orko returns to Eternia bearing news of Trollan politics that affects Eternia’s magical balance.
