Bow is having dinner with a woodcutter called Mark. Mark's sons, Thad and Kyle, offer to cut down some trees for him, so Mark gives them his ax and they head into the woods. The boys get tired and leave the ax by a log, and while they are gone it is removed by some Twiggets, who think it is lost and decide to find the owner. When the boys get back to find the ax gone, they fear that their father will be angry with them for losing the ax, so when they go home they make up a story about a thief stealing it from them. Bow sets out to the Horde-occupied village of Greenthatch, where he thinks the thief might have gone, and he soon finds himself attacked and captured by the Horde. It is up to She-Ra to rescue Bow, and convince the boys to face up to their responsibility, having put Bow's life in danger with their lie.
