PLOT
|
The moon's creation causes storms and earthquakes on Earth. Victoria Vetri, one of three blondes to be sacrificed to the sun god by Kingsor, escapes her terrible fate and takes shelter in a large egg shell in a nest of dinosaur eggs. While she sleeps one of the other eggs hatches and a cute baby dinosaur emerges, which proceeds to run off into the night. The next morning the mother dinosaur returns to the nest from hunting for food, with a deer in its mouth, and, finding Vetri in the eggshell, believes her to be her offspring and adopts her. Later on Victoria meets up with Tara and a romance evolves and they must both flee for their lives from the never tiring Kingsor, determined to kill them both. |
