== Synopsis ==
A man searching for his missing daughter finds her enslaved by a cult who operate a den of debauchery beneath a hollowed-out mountain. The object of their worship is a colossal creature which appears to feed on their acts of depravity, and in attempting a rescue, the man interrupts these rituals of obeisance. Although he is unable to save his daughter, his actions result in the death of the cult members; he then sets the creature's lair - a great pool of methanol - alight, and waits for the flames to consume him.
