EXTENDED SYNOPSIS: Dar (Daniel Goddard) and Tao (Jackson Raine) are travelling through the Territories when King Zad (Steven Grives) issues a decree to his vassals stating they must sacrifice five men each month to his new beast, the Minotaur. King Zad is especially proud of his ferocious monster because it was a gift from the Ancient One (Grahame Bond). While Dar is off fishing, Tao is captured by a group of Terron warriors intent on fulfilling Zad's decree. With the help of Sharak, Dar traces Tao back to a labyrinth near the Terron camp in which the Minotaur resides. The Sorceress (Monika Schnarre) observes Dar's arrival at the Terron camp. The Ancient One explains to her that the Minotaur and King Zad belong together because they mirror each other in terms of cruelty and ruthlessness. But because the Minotaur is part bull, the Sorceress only sees the creature as a means to get to Dar. To try and establish trust with Dar, she strikes a deal with him to save Tao and free the Minotaur from King Zad's grasp.

Unbeknownst to Dar, Baha (Simon Westaway), the slave trader with a vendetta against Ruh, wants to steal the Minotaur and use him for commerce. Dar rescues the Minotaur, Tao and Melora (Angela Keep), a young woman who loves the Minotaur. Dar and Tao learn that the Minotaur is in reality a man who is only able to express himself through dance. But Baha prevents our heroes from making a hasty escape. The nasty slaver doesn't hesitate to use Melora to force Dar and the Minotaur to cooperate with him in his quest to sell the Minotaur for a pile of shiny stones. But a well-timed kick from Tao takes Melora out of harm's way. The Sorceress appears while Ruh, Dar, and the Minotaur defeat Baha and his men. She turns the Minotaur into a man and sends him and Melora away to live in a safe place. She then sends Baha back to his empty life and helps Dar and Tao return home.
King Zad is furious about the theft of his prized possession, but the Ancient One refuses to intervene.
