The film plot involves Ilias (Andrea Occhipinti) a young man who battles monsters and mutants on his journey to manhood.

A youth named Ilias embarks leaves his family in his paradise home for a fog-shrouded wilderness.

While in a drugged state, Ocron, the creature's masked leader, sees a faceless youth with a magic bow who dares to attack her.

Later, while training with the bow, Mace kills a random hunter, and both he and Ilias steal the dying man's game.

Ilias and Mace stop for the night to rest and eat with a small tribe in caves and offer them a fresh animal kill as a gift.

At Ocron's lair, Fado gets burned on a giant hot plate as punishment for failing to capture the magic bow.

Mace sails with him along the coast to a place where a unique plant grows that will cure his affliction of the poisoned arrow.

Super-intelligent dolphins bite at the ropes that tie Mace to the cross and he is washed ashore, barely conscious.

Ilias arrives and tells Mace that he has had a change of heart and decided to return to be with his friend and defeat Ocron.

One arrow penetrates Ocron's mask, revealing the face of a ghoul atop her smooth, nubile body.

"[1] The review stated that despite "excessive gore," "manifestly implausible plot" and "patchy special effects," that the film was "actually very enjoyable."

[1] Jeremy Wheeler (AllMovie) gave the film two stars out of five, while noting that "even with the shoddy production values and downright embarrassing monster masks, it is what it is—a psychedelic C-Grade fantasy flick by the master of Italian gore done in an incredibly strange time and place in movie history—Italy in the early '80s.

While criticizing part of the dialogue, he particularly praised the cinematography and the performance of the main actor Jorge Rivero.
