Conan is tasked to find the kidnapped Prince Nyad. He discovers that Hillmen were paid to kill Nyad but instead sold him to Razak who is holding him for ransom. Conan and his men try to infiltrate Khumar Rhun but are captured. They escape, and Conan finds Nyad and his new love, the serving girl Leah. Their escape route in a labyrinth leads them to a tentacled monster. Conan saves Nyad, but Leah is killed. When they return, Alissa's and Carnek's plan to have Nyad killed is uncovered. Conan returns to dancing girl Cyreeta, but Nyad laments his lost Leah.
