Major Story Arcs
While on an expedition in the jungles of the Middle East, Dick and Ted encounter a massive storm. They find refuge in a cave but are soon beset by an earthquake that opens the ground and swallows them. Underground, they find a mound of ice. Inside that ice is a beautiful woman, perfectly preserved. Dick has the brilliant idea of digging her out. Doing so causes her to awaken. She claims to be Princess Tais and leads them further into the cave to help her people win a war. The air becomes thicker and chokes the men. They finally find the princess’s home in ruins. They take her to the surface where the air is lighter and they can breathe again. Unfortunately, this air reduces the princess to dust. The men go home.
