Thundarr the Barbarian is an animated series set in a post-apocalyptic future after the destruction of Earth's civilization in 1994. The world is now filled with various mutated creatures, dangerous sorcery, and various intertribal conflicts. The series follows the adventures of Thundarr, a powerful barbarian, Ariel, a brave sorceress, and Ookla the Mok, a faithful yeti. In season 1 episode 6, titled "Attack of the Amazon Women," our heroes set off on a journey to help Ariel's people, the Mok, who are being threatened by a group of fierce women who call themselves the Amazon women.
The episode opens with Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla watching over the Mok village when they notice black smoke rising in the distance. When they rush to investigate, they find the Mok village on fire, and the villagers being chased by a group of Amazon women on pterodactyls. Ariel realizes that these women are from an ancient tribe of Amazons that once roamed the Earth before civilization fell. She explains to Thundarr and Ookla that they are an all-women tribe, and they believe that men are inferior and not fit to rule.
Thundarr and his team manage to rescue some of the Mok villagers who were captured by the Amazon women during the attack. Ariel warns Thundarr that the Amazon women are searching for a powerful ancient weapon that her people possess, known as the "Crystals of Kronos." If the Amazon women find these crystals, they could use them to rule over all of mankind. Thundarr and his team decide to seek out the Amazon women and stop them from getting their hands on the crystals.
The group sets out on their mission, but they soon come across a group of captive male slaves who explain to them how cruel the Amazon women can be. The slaves explain that the Amazon women often use male slaves to provide manual labor and carry out their orders. Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla decide to rescue the male slaves and join forces with them to stop the Amazon women.
As they venture deeper into Amazon territory, they encounter various obstacles, including deadly traps and fierce Amazon warriors on the lookout for intruders. The team eventually reaches the Amazon fortress, and a fierce battle ensues between Thundarr's group and the Amazon women. The heroes must use their wits and fighting skills to overcome the Amazon women's traps and T-Rex guards.
The team eventually reaches the chamber where the crystals are kept. The Amazon queen, an evil sorceress, is waiting for them. She casts a powerful spell on Thundarr and Ookla, leaving Ariel to fight alone. However, Ariel is a skilled sorceress, and she manages to overpower the queen and her guards. She then uses her magic to break the spell on Thundarr and Ookla. The heroes then destroy the crystals, preventing the Amazon women from getting their hands on them and taking over the world.
In the end, Thundarr and his team return the male slaves to their homes, restored peace to the Mok village, and prevented the Amazon women from achieving their evil goals. As they ride off into the sunset, Ariel expresses her gratitude to Thundarr and his team for their bravery and friendship.
