Summary:
In a seaport bar with his crew, Sinbad hears a cry for help and dashes off to save a young maiden in distress. As he dives into the sea to rescue her, the woman turns into a raging waterspout that captures Sinbad, engulfing him, and dragging him into the depths of the sea. Dermott, Maeve's hawk, watches from above and communicates back to Maeve the trickery he has just seen. The crew returns to their ship and sets sail to search for their captain. Hours later, Sinbad awakens in the lair of Rumina, a powerful sorceress who is the daughter of Turok - an evil sorcerer killed by Sinbad. Sinbad quickly discovers that instead of revenge, Rumina wants to take him as her husband - forever.
While Sinbad makes a clever attempt to escape, his crew sails the seas looking for him, guided by Dermott, who is able to telepathically communicate with Maeve on the ship. Rumina, however captures the hawk, leaving the crew to navigate the water for themselves. In the lair, after refusing to return Rumina's love, Sinbad is tortured and then told of her alternative plan - he is to play a game of life or death in the forest against Goz, a previous love interest of Rumina's who she has transformed into a snarling, towering half-man, half-beast. What happens at the end of the game? Either Sinbad's bones will be returned to Rumina for eternal keeping or he will take Goz's place as her prisoner for the rest of his life. Sinbad is given a slight lead and enters the forest. Almost immediately, he encounters a magical knight dispatched by Rumina, and narrowly avoids his attack. A screaming harpie descends from the sky and is quickly destroyed with a spear Sinbad crafted from a nearby branch.
By now, Goz has caught up with Sinbad. Throughout his continuous chase and physical battle with Goz, Sinbad swings from tree vines and runs into a fiery bubbling forest pool while fighting for his life. When his crew finally reaches the forest, they are quickly captured by Rumina and taken to her lair. Maeve is clearly no match for her overpowering archrival, Rumina, in a struggle of magical strength. Rumina closes in for the kill putting Maeve and the rest of the crew mere moments from their death. Back in the forest, Sinbad finds himself trapped in a deep pit face-to-face with the ferocious Goz and his razor sharp talons. After besting Goz in a fight, Sinbad refuses to kill him, showing the ultimate form of compassion. Rediscovering his humanity at the same time, Goz slowly turns back into the man he was before Rumina transformed him into a beast. Sinbad and Goz team up to rescue Sinbad's crew from Rumina. Before making her escape, the evil sorceress promises her rivals that she will be back.
