The King dispatches his naturalist, Grégoire de Fronsac (Samuel Le Bihan) and his Indian valet Mani (Mark Dacascos) to investigate the situation. Fronsac finds finds a town ruled by myth and fear. As he entangles the web, Mani helps by slicing punching through the sticky bits in some well choreographed fights scenes.
