Synopsis

Queen Tandylla/Tandy Snow gives Ka-Zar an ultimatum: either become her husband or die in the arena. Ka-Zar rejects her offer and ends up in the arena together with Zartros the Gnome. They kill a gladiator named Makrum and manage to escape. Zartros reveals that Tandy has been brainwashed into becoming queen, and Ka-Zar vows to return and free her. Meanwhile, the rest of Ka-Zar's friends have come across a city full of elderly people. But something is very wrong; Kirk Marston has made a pact with the inhabitants and betrays his friends.
