He tracks him down to the castle he has built on the site of their old fortress and soon discovers the diabolicalsecrets held within its walls. Poelzig is now the leader of a satanic cult, engaging in macabre practises andrituals. One man’s pure evil against the other’s tormented need for revenge leads to an absorbing battle and ashocking climax.
