Summary:
Sinbad and his crew sail to Baronia to do an undisclosed favor for the island's governor, Sinbad's old buddy Kalel. As soon as they reach the shore, Sinbad is immediately attacked by the wide-eyed, wild-man Gort. Trying to avoid the wild man's onslaught, Sinbad acrobatically avoids Gort's huge sword and inadvertently flips him into a deep well to his death.
After Sinbad kills Gort, Kalel welcomes the crew and explains his reason for calling Sinbad to the island. Unbeknownst to Sinbad, he has been chosen as Baronia's representative in the evil warlord Kris Kattah's tournament. Every five years, each island sends a champion to represent his nation in a battle to the death. The ultimate winner faces Kattah's chosen warrior, the unbeaten samurai Tetsu. The winner of that battle gains control of all the islands.
After his initial victory against Gort, Sinbad is thrown into the arena to combat a new adversary: the enormous Cthulu, champion of Retnog. They engage in a manic fight, and Cthulu seems unbeatable as his sheer strength and size overpower Sinbad. Using wits and uncanny athleticism, Sinbad knocks out the giant. Kattah shouts that the match will end only when one of them is dead. Sinbad, however, refuses to kill Cthulu. As Cthulu regains consciousness and mounts another offensive, Tetsu, Kattah's samurai champion, rushes in and kills Cthulu, much to the objection of the other Retnog warriors. To quell their protests, Kattah threatens the cowering warriors with Attila the Hun's very own weapon, the sword of Hades. Blood drips from the bony mouth on the sword's hilt. That evening, Tetsu and Sinbad learn about each other's past and realize they are both rainbow bracelet wearers. Tetsu reveals his lifelong desire to become a sailor. He is honor bound to follow the wishes of his master, Kattah, however, and vows to kill Sinbad in the morning.
At the campfire, Maeve silently devises a plan to neutralize the power of Kattah's sword. In the darkness, she sneaks off to Kattah's tent. Concerned for her safety, Doubar and Rongar follow. At the tent, she uses charm and a little magic to get by the bodyguards. Kattah is clearly taken with her beauty and demonstrates the magical ability of his sword to transform him into an invisible wisp of smoke. The smoke shape of Kattah cackles "no one can kill what doesn't exist." He asks Maeve to join him in ruling the world and lustfully lunges towards her. In the nick of time, Doubar and Rongar crash through the tent and knock out Kattah. They whisk Maeve to safety before they have a chance to steal the magical sword. Back at the campfire, they realize the games are a sham and their only chance of survival would be to destroy Kattah. Firouz and Rongar come up with a plan...
The next morning, Sinbad faces Tetsu in the arena. The crew watches nervously as the two engage in a battle. Using acrobatics and skill, they fight, knowing one of them must die. Sinbad's life and the fate of the are resting on the outcome of this deadly duel. Finally, Sinbad plunges a dagger into Tetsu's chest, killing the Samurai, and pronounces the war games over. Later, on the beach, Sinbad and crew are ready to set sail. Tetsu is with them, very much alive and ready to set sail in his own boat. They all share in Tetsu's delight as Firouz once again demonstrates the retractable blade he invented to fake Tetsu's death.
Just then, Kattah appears with his guards. As he unsheathes his sword, Kattah transforms into the unconquerable, invisible assassin and prepares to deliver his deadly blow. Using Firouz's wind machine, Kattah is blown away. Sinbad tosses the evil sword of Hades into the depths of the sea.
