Sinbad (John Phillip Law), the swashbuckling sailor, lands in Marabia, where he receives a mysterious golden tablet from a vizier. On it is a map. His mission? To find the fountain of destiny on the lost island of Lemuria before his one-eyed, sorcerer nemesis, Koura (Tom Baker—yes, the Doctor Who Tom Baker), does. Along for the ride are a gorgeous slave girl (Caroline Munro, practically glowing), a comically anxious Grand Vizier, and a living, breathing homunculus (a mini-homunculus with a nasty streak).
Sinbad teams up with the Vizier (Douglas Wilmer), whose face has been disfigured by the evil sorcerer Koura (Tom Baker). Koura is a villain for the ages—dark, brooding, and willing to sacrifice his own vitality to gain power. The quest takes them to the mythical land of Lemuria, where they encounter tribes, exotic locations, and terrifying beasts.
