action
The overthrown King Tulak asks the barbarian Deathstalker , who lives according to his own code of honor , to recapture the kingdom that was torn from the unscrupulous usurper and magician Munkar . Deathstalker agrees, after the king's daughter Codille is promised to him as a wife if the job is fulfilled. Then he saves the witch Toralva on his journey from the henchmen of General Kang , who reveals to him that Munkar wants to obtain three magical objects that could give him the highest power: the cup of magic , the amulet of life and the sword of justice . He already owns the first two, but Toralva has hidden the sword itself . The barbarian wins it by releasing the guardian Salmoron from his curse. Together with the knight Oghris and the fighter Kaira , they travel to the center of the kingdom to take part in a tournament with the prize for Munkar's legacy. After long battles in which Kaira and Oghris fall victim to the intrigues of Munkar , Deathstalker succeeds in a final duel with the magician to steal the magical artifacts and to end the tyranny .
criticism
