Official Rankin/Bass Synopsis

On Third Earth, it is a day of the total eclipse, an event that only happens every 100 years. Mumm-Ra can cast any spell this day and it will last until the next eclipse. He plans to cast a spell of decay on the Thundercats' machines. In doing so, Mumm-Ra plans to easily overthrow the Thundercats, and then there will be no one on Third Earth to keep him from reclaiming the planet for his own. After the Thundercats' machines become rusted and hard to use, Panthro and Lion-O fight the Mutants while Tygr a and Cheetara face the LunaTaks. Lion-O makes his way to the Black Pyramid and, with the Eye of ThunDERa's help, attempts to keep the day of the eclipse's effects from becoming a century old problem. The Thundercats' machines are restored, perhaps working better than before the eclipse.
