The boy's mother is perhaps Teresa, his former employee and Ernesto is perhaps the father. Thus began a crisis for Catherine as a nun and for Ernesto the awareness of not being the only unfortunate man on earth.—Baldinotto da Pistoia

Storyline: Scottish archaeologist Angus Flint discovers an odd skull amid the ruins of a convent that he is excavating.

Angus learns of the D'Ampton Worm, a huge dragon-snake that an earlier D'Ampton killed by cutting it in half. (There's a pretty catchy rock-folk song that tells the D'Ampton Worm legend.) As people begin disappearing and acting strangely over the next few days, the skull is stolen from Angus's room, and the watch of a missing person is found in a cavern that was the legendary home of the D'Ampton worm. Angus and James discover that there was an ancient cult that worshiped the worm as a god, and they theorize that the creature somehow survived its destruction, but it was trapped inside the cavern. The remainder of the movie shows Angus, James, and Mary Trent attempting to stop Lady Marsh from freeing the creature....—Alik Widge
