Scottish archaeologist Angus Flint discovers an odd skull amid the ruins
of a convent that he is excavating. Shortly thereafter, Lady Sylvia
Marsh returns to Temple House, a nearby mansion, far earlier than
expected. At a party in the village, Angus meets Lord James D'Ampton,
who has just inherited his family's land right next to Temple House.
Angus learns of the D'Ampton Worm, a huge dragon-snake that an earlier
D'Ampton killed by cutting it in half. (There's a pretty catchy
rock-folk song that tells the D'Ampton Worm legend.) As people begin
disappearing and acting strangely over the next few days, the skull is
stolen from Angus's room, and the watch of a missing person is found in a
cavern that was the legendary home of the D'Ampton worm. Angus and
James discover that there was an ancient cult that worshiped the worm as
a god, and they theorize that the creature somehow survived its
destruction...
