Necklace Of Death

Many centuries ago, King Arthur sent forth his knights to find the one perfect diamond as a gift for his queen. Sir Grenvell succeeded: he found the diamond embedded as the eye of a stone idol called Orac. Drumgargs, evil, black-robed priests who worshipped Orac, attacked Sir Grenvell. He killed them and took the diamond. A dying priest whispered a curse: she who wears the diamond will wither and die.King Arthur had the diamond made into a golden necklace. The first time the queen wore it, the curse proved true. She quickly grew old and collapsed, knocking over a candelabra and starting a raging fire. Alfie, the court jester, saved the necklace and escaped through a secret panel into the Underworld.Fast-forward 1000 years:While on a tour of King Arthur's castle, three children, Lucas, Claira and Andy, open a hidden door leading into the Underworld. The door locks behind them and they are trapped. Following the sound of chanting, they stumble upon Drumgargs worshipping Orac. The priests almost capture the children but Alfie rescues them and hides them in his secret cave. He offers to help them escape from the Underworld. On the journey, Claira is captured by Drumgargs who plan to sacrifice her to Orac. Using the diamond necklace as a lure, Alfie draws the priests away from the idol, enabling the children to escape.
