The film opens with a confrontation between Nabu and Wotan during prehistoric times. The confrontation ends with Nabu's victory over Wotan, who, having turned green, was unable to penetrate the Tower of Destiny. Later in the films, Nabu explains the origins of Wotan (who was originally a woman that, after a violation, became a witch and changed bodies). In 1964, the Sorcerer Dr. Fate confronts the avatar of chaos, Klarion The Witch Boy, easily defeating him. This Sorcerer is the fusion of the homo magi Kent Nelson and the spirit of the God Nabu, trapped within a helmet. The feature film follows the love story between Kent Nelson and Inza Cramer in the present, paralleled by a horrifying confrontation against Wotan, who has now returned and seeks revenge against Nabu. In parallel, flashbacks reveal how Kent became Dr. Fate. Kent Nelson is the son of Sven Nelson, an archaeologist who discovered the tomb of Nabu, a sorcerer from ancient Egypt (affiliated with the Lords of Chaos and Order). When his father enters the tomb, Nabu releases a deadly poison that kills him. Then, overcome with remorse, Nabu raises Kent and imparts all his magical knowledge, eventually giving him a helmet that is, in reality, Nabu's soul. The Tower of Destiny is the main setting of the feature film and serves as a crucible for the rising horror.
