Skeletor's latest invention, the Collector, is capable of bringing stone statues to life and turning people to stone. With Beast Man, he attacks the Royal Palace with the new device, bringing court-yard statues to life and freezing Man-At-Arms in stone. If the effect isn't reversed by sundown, he will be cast in stone forever. As He-Man, advised by The Sorceress, goes to search for the one thing that can aid them in reversing the spell, Skeletor uses the energy the Collector has taken from his victims to awaken an ancient, giant statue, and turns it on Castle Grayskull...

An inventor called Zicran visits the Royal Palace to deliver a Transmutator machine to Man-At-Arms, accompanied by his daughter Ileena, a friend of Teela's. Ileena is vulnerable and lacking in self-confidence, feeling inferior compared to Teela's agility.

Meanwhile, an evil sorcerer called Jarvan, who was previously defeated by He-Man and Man-At-Arms, has escaped from the prison mines and has set his sights on the Transmutator. Preying on Ileena's depression, he disguises himself as a kindly old woman and gives Ileena a 'magic potion' that will boost her confidence and strength. But the potion contains a dangerous drug, and Ileena soon finds herself addicted to the drug, and almost causes several serious accidents while under its effects. She also finds herself unwittingly obeying Jarvan's commands, and helps him to obtain the Transmutator! Can the heroic warriors cure Ileena's addiction before she causes more damage to herself and the people around her?

While bored, Orko casts a spell to bring a small, cute creature called Daimar, from a book about the dimension of darkness, to Eternia. But Daimar doesn't stay cute for long- he soon turns into a giant demon and is threatening to overcome Grayskull with his power, which Skeletor is also determined to acquire for himself!

Whiplash arrives at the Royal Palace, badly wounded, and asking for help.

Reluctantly, He-Man and his allies must rescue Skeletor and join forces to stop Sh'Gora taking over Eternia and the powers of Castle Grayskull...
