An army of evil Marauders, led by the towering King Terak and his cunning companion witch, Charal, attack the Ewok village and capture many of the Ewoks. Wicket and young Cindel manage to evade capture and escape into the forest where they encounter a mischievous furry creature named Teek, who leads them to a seemingly abandoned home belonging to Noa, a grouchy old hermit. When the Marauders strike again, they capture Cindel, so Noa, Wicket and Teek must rush to save the girl and the Ewoks from the dark fortress of King Terak.
