The concluding trial in Lion-O's Anointment Trials, a series of tests each of the Lord of the Thundercats has had to pass in order to prove himself worthy of his inherited title, pits him against the evil Mumm-Ra. In this trial, Lion-O must face Mumm-Ra alone, without the aid of the other Thundercats and without the Sword of Omens. Jaga appears and offers Lion-O advice, but Lion-O decides to go his own way. Mumm-Ra summons the Mutants and commands them to destroy Lion-O before he gets to the pyramid. The Mutants attack him and trap him in an underground pit, which is similar to Mumm-Ra's pyramid. While underground, Lion-O encounters and overcomes many of Mumm-Ra's obstacles; a faceless Boatman; a living ceiling; a huge, one-eyed cocoon; the Inflamer. Lion-O finally reaches Mumm-Ra's pyramid and engages in battle one-on-one with Mumm-Ra. During the battle, Lion-O realizes that Mumm-Ra's sarcophagus is the source of his regenerating power. Lion-O hurls the sarcophagus into the boiling Cauldron. Mumm-Ra turns to ashes. Jaga appears again and praises Lion-O for his heroism and bravery. Lion-O vindicates his own plans by defeating Mumm-Ra, thus proving that he is indeed worthy of his inherited title.
