On a distant planet, intellectual fowls called Lemurians have developed the ability to travel from planet to planet through the use of portals.
One dissident, Skull Master (voiced by the splendidly menacing Tim Curry), sought the secret of the portals but was refused its knowledge. Enraged, he destroyed the Lemurians – or so he thought.
A lone survivor named Virgil (voiced by Tony Jay) managed to escape with a magical red cap that – when its preordained wearer can be found – will endow him with the power to stop Skull Master, who – with his Legion of Warriors – is now seeking to conquer the Earth.
On Earth, Virgil finds Max (voiced by Rob Paulsen), a 12-year-old American boy who, according to ancient prophecy, is “the Chosen One”. Max is given a mission and responsibilities that (reluctantly) must accept.
Max now holds the power to activate the planet portals, which makes him the target of Skull Master, who not only wants to conquer Earth but also gain control of the red cap (which will give him ultimate control).
In addition to Virgil, Max is assisted by his Viking guardian, Norman (Richard Moll).
Stories followed the trio in their battle to vanquish Skull Master and save the planet.
The series – which was cancelled mid-season without a closure to the storyline – was based on a popular toy line created by Bluebird Toys.
The show ran in syndication until 1998.
