Synopsis
Hypnotized by the Diamonds of Doom, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner is attacked by
the Demon of the Diamonds, a sword-wielding tough. Namor rallies his strength
and engages his enemy in combat. They struggle but when Namor is at his weakest
and the Demon prepares to execute him, Subby is able to attract some electric
eels to shock the Demon; Warlord Krang, watching via viewscreen, is again
annoyed. The eels absorb the power of the diamonds, freeing Namor from their
spell; the eels then speak in King Neptune, telling him there is one more test
but he must find it for himself. The eels then remind him that Lady Dorma is
the captive of the Faceless Ones. So Namor is torn between the quest which will
enable him to regain his throne and saving the woman who loves him. Decisions,
decisions….
Back in the
city, the people have risen up against the usurper Krang, storming the palace.

in another. And when a band of rebels reach the throne room, they are met by
guards with blasters. Finally overpowering the guards, a small band reaches
Krang who has one more surprise….
Namor makes his
decision and heads off to rescue Dorma who waits to see if the Faceless Ones
will shatter the plasti-cage, the only thing keeping her safe….
