Synopsis[]

Archaeologist Daniel Damian and his daughter, Margo Damian, along with a camerman named Ike Harris are in the Andes Mountains in search of the legendary City of the Space Gods. Upon finding these vast ancient ruins, they discover the God Chamber, which contains relics hinting at extraterrestrial influence from a bygone era. Ike Harris reveals himself as an immortal being known as an Eternal, and tells the tale of how the great cosmic space gods came to Earth millennia ago and seeded life on the planet, giving rise to the three most dominant life forms, the Eternals, the monstrous Deviants, and Man.

Elsewhere in the undersea kingdom of Lemuria, the leader of the Deviants, Brother Tode, sends his chief enforcer, Kro, to suss out the location of the hidden city. Kro marshalls his forces and finds the City of the Space Gods and a fire-fight ensues between Kro's forces and that of Ikaris, Daniel, and Margo.

Suddenly, the Cosmic beacon activates, signaling that the space gods have returned. A giant space ship descends upon the area.
