Plot summary
While traveling in Europe, Narda meets one of her friends, Jenny as well as the Baron Von Geist. Following a car accident, Mandrake, Narda and Lothar find refuge with an old peasant woman who offers them some milk. However this drink is poisoned and they find themselves surrounded by ancient soldiers who carry them away and leave them inanimate. When they wake up, villagers tell them a legend of hordes of barbarians who are still alive. During the night, this legend turns into reality and they are captured again. In the cave where they are, Mandrake discovers one tomb and a giant statue of Attila, King of the Huns. Returning to the surface, Mandrake is confronted with a very real Attila but discovers that the action is in fact a masquarade led by the Baron who terrorize the inhabitants in order to obtain money from them.
