The vengeful Wallace torches the museum, leaving Jarrod for dead. When his financial partner, Sidney Wallace (Paul Cavanagh), demands more sensational exhibits to increase profits, Jarrod refuses. Joining Michael Gough (Dracula, Konga) in the cast are Graham Curnow, Shirly Anne Field (These Are the Damned), Geoffery Keen and June Cunningham.
