Obi-Wan has not yet become a Jedi Knight. But even he, with the inexperienced eye of a student, understood that he and his teacher Qui-Gon had not arrived in vain on the planet Gala. Queen Veda is terminally ill. There is a fierce struggle for power. The ruler is forced to reveal her secret to the young Jedi and Qui-Gon. Elana lives among the freedom-loving mountaineers. It is this girl, and not the son of Veda, who is the true heir to the throne. Qui-Gon secretly goes into the mountains to find the bearer of the symbol of inheritance - the Mark of the Crown. And young Obi-Wan, remaining in the palace, suspected that someone was adding poison to the queen’s tea. But, without having time to really find out anything, the boy himself falls into a trap.
