Wrath-Amon vermutet irrtümlicherweise, dass es im Land der Picts noch Sternenmetall gibt. Deshalb glaubt er ihren Beteuerungen nicht, sie hätten keines. Er verwüstet brutal ihr Land. Zula beschwört daraufhin Jhebbal Sag, den Herrn der Tiere, damit er den Stämmen der Picts hilft.
In search of allies to aid them in their never-ending quest against Wrath-amon, Zula performs a magical ritual that calls the spirit Jhebbel Sag, Master of Beasts, into the material world. Unfortunately, their negotiations with the sympathetic being are interrupted by Wrath-amon's Serpent-Men, acting under the orders of Zula's evil brother to capture Jhebbel Sag and bring him to Wrath-amon, who uses his dark magics to corrupt the spirit into a being of evil.Now, Conan and Zula must free the spirit from Wrath-amon's bonds and purge him of his corruption- not an easy task considering that the tainted Jhebbel Sag has turned all the creatures of the wilderness against them!
