Features: Super Cartoon Edition of Journey to the West. Tang Sanzang and his disciples are riding westward when they suddenly see a towering mountain piercing the clouds. Taibai Jinxing comes to deliver a message, saying that this place is called Shiduo Ridge, where three demons reside. Goku first goes to scout the mountain and encounters a small demon. From the demon, Goku learns the abilities of the three demons and kills it, transforming into its appearance to infiltrate the demon's lair. However, Goku is also thrown into the Yin-Yang Bottle by the three demons. Inside the bottle, Goku suffers intense torment. Just when he is in dire straits, he feels the life-saving hair on his body. Goku quickly pulls it out, transforms it into a tool, and drills a small hole in the bottom of the bottle to escape. After escaping, Goku finds his master and leads Pig and Sand to capture the demons. Pig and Goku surround the main demon, forcing it to reveal its true form as a lion and swallow Goku whole. Goku shatters the lion's teeth and escapes through its nose. Seeing that he cannot subdue Goku, the main demon agrees to let them go. The second demon, however, is not satisfied and fights Goku again but is defeated. The three demons, still not giving up, lead their minions in a rush to capture Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Goku learns the heartbreaking news that his master has been eaten by the demons and rushes to Tiantu to seek Buddha for help. Buddha subdued the three demons, who confess that they never ate Tang Sanzang. Goku happily rejoins his master and disciples to continue their westward journey.
