Summary:
While Sinbad and his crew are relaxing on the beach, they are attacked by a small group of thugs that they easily fend off. While Sinbad and his crew regroup, a man named Bellamur comes out from behind a hill and introduces himself. Legendary on the high seas as the warrior who defeated the Griffin or Grief and led the revolt against Singa the Tyrant, Bellamur is now a wealthy trader. He has sought Sinbad to enlist his help in the recovery of his wife Jial, who has been kidnapped by the bandit Turhan. Sinbad is surprised to hear that Turhan is behind the kidnapping because, although he is a rogue and rival, he has always been a fair opponent. According to Bellamur, the thugs who attacked Sinbad and crew on the beach were sent by Turhan to keep Bellamur and Sinbad apart. Bellamur produces an ancient book of magic, a map and other magical articles from a bag and promises the group a reward if they will help him. Maeve is certain her magic is not strong enough to find the Valley of Colossus and battle the giant Colossus rock monster but Bellamur expresses confidence in their abilities. The group sets off.
Using Bellamur's map, the group soon finds themselves just outside the Valley of the Colossus. They fight off a group of Turhan's men and use Bellamur's magical potion to crack the rock wall and enter the Valley. Once inside, the group is chased by the giant monster Colossus who is just about to crush them when Maeve yells "Stop!" and surprisingly the monster freezes. They stealthily proceed until they are close to Turhan's camp and wait for nightfall.
Once it is dark, Firouz and Rongar cover Sinbad and Doubar as they proceed to the building holding Jial and peer through the window. Turhan and Jial are locked in a steamy embrace and Sinbad and Doubar are certain Turhan must have her under his spell. Firouz creates an explosion to distract Turhan while Sinbad and Doubar grab Jial. To their surprise, she protests and they must gag her and use force to remove her from Turhan's house. While his crew runs off with Jial, Sinbad duels with Turhan who proclaims throughout the duel that Jial belongs with him. Doubar hits Turhan over the head, temporarily knocking him out, and Sinbad retreats with Jial and his men through an underground tunnel feeling uneasy about the entire ordeal.
Soon revived, Turhan sets off through the tunnel after Sinbad and Jial. Sinbad lags behind to hold him off. The others reach the end of the tunnel and light dynamite around the tunnel entrance. Sinbad and Turhan duel and Turhan convinces Sinbad that he and Jial are in love just as the dynamite explodes and traps him and Sinbad in the caved-in tunnel. After the explosion, Bellamur and the same six thugs who attacked Sinbad at the beach appear and disarm and tie up Doubar and the others. They grab Jial who kicks and screams that she hates Bellamur. Bellamur "subdues" her and proudly tells Maeve that he was the one who subdued Colossus using magic he purchased at great expense to protect Sinbad and his crew. Bellamur departs with Jial and leaves behind an ugly poisonous lizard to guard Doubar and the rest of the crew. The group realizes that they have been tricked.
Just as the poisonous lizard is poised to bit Maeve, Sinbad appears and flicks him away with his sword. Turhan has won Sinbad's trust and has led him out of the caved tunnel through a secret passage. All together again, Sinbad and his crew together with Turhan set off to find Jial and Bellamur - the man she has been tricked into marrying. Once on the Valley floor, the reanimated Colossus rock monster pursues them. Sinbad asks for Maeve's help but she tells him about Bellamur's story about his magic. She sends her magical power into Colossus' knee freezing it and collapsing him face forward. The group escapes.
Meanwhile, Bellamur has forced Jial to watch the Colossus vs. Sinbad and Turhan battle from a high hill. Turhan sees her and quickly starts up the hill with Sinbad and his crew close behind. Bellamur shoots Turhan in the leg with an arrow but Turhan is determined and presses on. Moments later, Bellamur is killed by Jial as he tries to knife Turhan. In the meantime, the crew destroy the Colossus. Later, as the crew bid him farewell, Turhan reveals that he is giving up his outlaw ways and plans to settle down with Jial to start a family.
