Accused by the Kokuri chief of spiriting away hundreds of his warriors, Tygra and Terry are thrown into an extinct volcano. They find an ancient Assyrian city under the mountain. Terry conveniently speaks Classical Persian, which is enough like Assyrian to allow communication. They find the Kokuri being used as slaves to make weapons for an invasion of the surface world. They marshall the slaves to rebel, overcome the Assyrians, and clear their names.
