Krod and the gang go on a mission to rescue General Arcadius, Krod's mentor and the leader of the resistance against the evil Xanusian Empire. Dongalor reveals that he is in possession of the ultimate weapon of mass destruction, the Eye of Gulga Grymna.

Krod learns that he is 'The Golden One', the central figure in a prophecy that foretells the destruction of the Empire. Dongalor is smitten with a peasant girl and discovers he needs to add a significant piece to the Eye before it can become fully operational.

Krod and the gang must fight off bounty hunters after Dongalor places a price on their heads. Dongalor's relationship with Cute Girl is threatened after a weapons' inspector arrives at his palace.

Krod is nominated for a position at the prestigious Elite Resistance Council, but first must prove his mettle by retrieving a priceless gem from the lair of a deadly Cyclops. Aneka becomes smitten with Ralph Longshaft, a dashing member of the council.

Krod is dispatched by Ralph's warlock Grimshank to light a beacon that will alert resistance leaders everywhere that Dongalor is on the verge of activating the Eye. Dongalor scours the land in an effort to find the elusive tears of a pagan woman, an ingredient that will finally make the Eye operational.

Krod and the gang learn they have been pawns in a conspiracy. They must try to save the resistance by deactivating the Eye of Gulga Grymna before it's too late.
