The Evil Horde constructs the Slime Pit, which can coat people in slime to turn them into slaves that must obey Hordak's will. Some of the Rock People are captured to test it. To save them, He-Man offers himself as a test subject, on the condition that the Rock People will not be put into the Slime Pit. Once enslaved, He-Man is sent to destroy Skeletor.
