Plot: A Scottish archaeologist, Angus Flint, uncovers a strange skull at the site of an old convent. Later, at a village party, he is introduced to Lord James D'Ampton, who has just inherited a plot of land. He learns of an old legend about the D'Ampton Worm, a huge dragon-snake that was purported to be killed by D'Ampton's ancestors when he cut it in half. Over the next several days, disappearances and murders, along with the theft of the skull, leads Flint to believe the legend might not only be true - but that the creature may yet live. -- Chris Kavan
