Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet. The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.
Dorno has a cute, boyish face, long, blond hair, and a slender, athletic physique. His shirtless Herculoids outfit consists of a pair of brown boots, a light, blue skirt and neck collar, and a gold belt and wrist bands. At his age, he is growing taller and more attractive and gaining better muscle definition and athletic ability. He is also developing more self-esteem and self-confidence and taking more risks.
Due to his youth and his lack of special powers, Dorno is certainly one of the most vulnerable members of the Herculoids and is frequently a weak link which their opponents seek to target.
In this episode, the Buccaneer's attempt to dig for buried treasure in an inhabited, geologically sensitive area draws the protest of Zandor and the Herculoids. In response, the Buccaneer captures Dorno and holds him hostage. The Herculoids attack the ship, but Zandor is captured. The Herculoids attack again, Zandor frees himself and Dorno, and the Buccanneer is defeated.
This episode appears to have been inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and contains a lot of action scenes for Dorno. He is chased by the Buccaneer, attempting to outrun their hovercraft on foot, and inevitably captured, while Tara observes helplessly. He is relatively well treated and loosely guarded on the Buccaneer's spacecraft, but he attempts an unsuccessful escape while the Herculoids are attacking. Zandor is captured and placed in a cell with Dorno, but they escape.
