Horde Prime is taking a two-week vacation on the planet Tropica and leaves his flagship, 'the Velvet Glove' in Hordak's keeping. Although he has been ordered not to touch anything, Hordak plans to use the ship to conquer Etheria as well as Eternia. Catching wind of his plan, the Sorceress sends He-Man to Etheria to help She-Ra, but Skeletor is also on his way, wanting the ship for himself.
