Nonetheless, Thorn kills Ator, splitting the sword in two, and orders Dejanira to be imprisoned in a circle of fire until a human arrives who is strong enough to free her, at which point she will lose her immortality.

Young Ator's mother Sunn places him and the sword fragments in the care of the ugly sorcerer gnome Grindel and asks him for a death potion.

Giving her a love potion instead, Grindel sleeps with her and curses her to lead a life of eternal poverty and prostitution until a man comes who embraces her like a mother.

After burning her body, Ator continues his quest for his people and the Middle World by travelling through the Eastern Kingdom, where he and Dejanira confront the treachery of King Gunther and his sister Grimilde.

He wrote that the film's hero "manages to avoid spaghetti sauce lava when not fighting Siamese-twin robots and mucus-covered Godzilla clones in a quest that really doesn't seem to have any specific goal" and thus grants that "there are some hilariously bad sequences that will please fans of the abysmal".
