action
As a toddler, Ursus was able to escape the pursuit of the usurper and regicide Ajak; he was raised by Leuven to be an exceptionally strong young man. A greedy slave trader, who takes a medallion from him as payment for the young Ania, also deals with Ajak, who in this way learns of the existence of Ursus and wants to have him killed as the rightful heir to the throne. The captors of the usurper, who rules with his playmate Diana, kill the lions; the angry Ursus cannot defend himself against the overwhelming odds and is thrown into a dungeon to serve as hyena food. Some revolting freedom fighters manage to free Ursus and with his help to defeat the soldiers of Ajak and finally he himself. Ursus ascends the throne with Ania.
