Summary:
Sinbad and his crew are trapped in the doldrums, running low on food and water. Suddenly, a ghostly wind fills their sails and speeds them off to the land of Arborea. As the ship comes aground, they hear a battle in it's final stages and a bloody warrior climbs aboard and warns them that the land is haunted by the "walking dead".
Forced to go ashore for supplies, they are attacked by a band of mounted warriors leaving for battle. Sinbad and his crew successfully resist the men and Swart, their captain, calls for a retreat because they have already completed their mission of killing Prince Xander, heir to the throne of Arborea. However, as they leave, Maeve finds the Prince hiding in the forest. He explains that his father, King Alderon, was betrayed and killed by his trusted advisor, Drax, who, on Alderon's death bed, swore that he wouldn't rest until Alderon's heir was dead. Since then, Drax has sleeplessly stalked the young prince and has taken Xander's mother, the Queen, prisoner in the castle. Prince Xander's mission is to kill Drax and save his mother. Sinbad and his crew agree to help him.
On their way to the castle, Sinbad notices some strange things about Xander - he won't let anyone touch him, dripping blood from one of his wounds quickly disappears and he can communicate telepathically with Dermott. Meanwhile, Drax, by means of his wizard, discovers that Prince Xander is still alive. Enraged, Drax sends Swart and his men to attack Sinbad and his group, hoping to kill Xander. Firouz scares them off with a "ghost" made of branches and tent material. Drax then sets a trap for Xander at the castle and waits. He chains the Queen to the tower ceiling by her wrists and rigs a crossbow with its arrow aimed at her heart. The rope tied to the trigger rests in his hands and when she refuses to marry him, he prepares to kill her.
Just before the group reaches the castle, Maeve follows Xander into the forest and discovers that he is not really alive, but is rather one of the "walking dead" the bloody warrior had told them about back on ship. She agrees to keep his secret because if Drax realizes that he is really dead, his mother is doomed and so is the kingdom. As they rejoin the group, the court wizard, no friend of the evil Drax, warns them of his trap. They head into a secret tunnel to the castle courtyard.
With the help of more of the "walking dead", the crew defeat the evil Drax. With Arborea safe and the Queen soon to give birth to a new heir, Xander bids farewell to the others and joins his father in the afterlife.
