Summary:
Stuck off the coast of a dark and mysterious island, Sinbad and his crew decide to explore the strange coast in search of fresh water and provisions. Shortly after reaching shore, they stumble upon a garden of incredibly lifelike marble statues. As they admire their beauty, an entourage of armed soldiers and the leader of the island, Vincenzo, who sculpted these works of art, greet Sinbad and the crew. Vincenzo is immediately taken by Maeve's beauty and invites the entire group to stay with him until the tides change. They are escorted to his vast, marble palace. Maeve is clearly smitten with the charming artist, while Sinbad becomes instantly suspicious of his suave demeanor. While bathing before the feast, Maeve is visited by a silent apparition who cries for help. Meanwhile, Sinbad receives a warning from a soldier named Nissam that Maeve is in grave danger. He says that Vincenzo has taken over the island through the use of his magical "art" and there is a hidden "glittering cave" that will prove his story. Before he can say more, he sees a shadow in the window and runs away in terror.
As the crew enjoys a great feast, Sinbad sneaks off to find out more about their mysterious host. He stumbles across the artist's studio and discovers an entire room of statues, including one that resembles the panic stricken soldier, Nissam.
The next morning, as Firouz tinkers with his latest invention, a "blasting powder" made of mineral compounds found on the island, he is recruited by Sinbad to explore the island with Rongar and Doubar in search of the "glittering cave." Maeve is instructed to keep the artist busy while they search the island. After a morning of modeling for the artist, Maeve drinks a magical wine that leaves her in a deep hypnotic daze. On the other side of the island, Sinbad discovers the glittering cave Nissam described. Beyond a magical wall inside the cavern, Sinbad, Doubar and Rongar discover a room filled with marbled statues of soldiers and the island's King and Queen. They realize that Vincenzo has transformed these people into stone and that they must rescue Maeve from the same fate. But the cave has closed in around them. Firouz, with his new invention, creates an explosion to set them free.
With the aid of Firouz' explosive, they cleverly overcome a team of archers and storm the palace. As they race through the palace, they arrive too late -- Vincenzo has already turned Maeve and Dermott into marble statues with his magical sculpting gloves. In anguish, Sinbad defeats the evil sculptor and his friends and the rightful rulers of the Kingdom are free of Vincenzo's sculpting curse.
