A Brief Synopsis: When the Duc de Richleau and Rex Van Ryn arrive at a fashionable party thrown by de Richleau’s protégé, Simon Aron, they soon realize that the party is in fact a gathering of a Satanic cult, led by the high priest Mocata, that plans to initiate the beautiful Tanith that night. It’s up to de Richleau and Van Ryn to defeat the devil-worshiping Mocata and save innocent young Tanith and the others from a terrible fate.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:
