The episode begins with Lydia and Beetlejuice relaxing at home when they're visited by Prince Vince, who's seeking their help. He explains that his uncle, King Gossamer, has taken over the neitherworld and is ruling with an iron fist, leaving the people without food, water, or basic necessities. He reveals that he's the rightful heir to the throne, but he's been forced into hiding by his uncle's henchmen.
Despite their initial reservations, Lydia and Beetlejuice agree to help the prince, as they have a soft spot for underdogs. They travel to the neitherworld, where they find the prince's followers living in squalor and despair. They soon discover that the king's army is preparing for an attack, and time is running out.
Lydia and Beetlejuice come up with a plan to sneak into the king's castle and steal the royal scepter, which is the source of the king's power. They disguise themselves as castle servants and successfully infiltrate the castle, but their plan goes awry when they're caught and thrown into the dungeon.
With their plan foiled, the duo must come up with a new strategy to defeat the king and restore the prince to the throne. They enlist the help of the prince's followers, who are willing to fight for their rightful ruler.
A battle erupts between the king's army and the prince's followers, with Lydia and Beetlejuice fighting alongside them. The prince ultimately triumphs, and with his uncle defeated, he takes his rightful place as the ruler of the neitherworld.
As the episode comes to a close, Lydia and Beetlejuice say their goodbyes to the prince and his followers, relieved that they were able to help. They return home, ready to relax and enjoy their victory, but not before Beetlejuice jokingly dons the crown and pretends to be king for a day.
"Prince of the Neitherworld" is an action-packed episode that showcases the dynamic between Lydia and Beetlejuice, as well as their willingness to help those in need. It's a fun, entertaining episode that also shows the importance of standing up for what's right and fighting for what you believe in.
