- Synopsis
- Captured by the Red Wizard, Ka-Zar calls Zabu to free him, leaving the "frail" Sheena tied up. Battling free Ka-Zar is enspelled by Malgato and once again pushed to self-sacrifice to appease the Sun-God Garokk into preserving the Savage Land, reminding him his failure to do so will cause the area to shrink, and bring the dinosaurs to the man-lands. His disbelief causes Malgato to eject them from his castle. The Fall People are surprised at Ka-Zar's refusal to honor the self-sacrifice, and become angered as their village is once again destroyed by a meat eating triceratops. A sign of the Gods?
