The Viking adventurers who challenged the seas... and conquered the world!

6.1(67)19642h 6m3

Moorish ruler El Mansuh is determined to locate a massive bell made of gold known as the "Mother of Voices."

Reluctantly working together, El Mansuh and Rolfe, along with their men, embark on a quest for the prized object, but only one leader will be able to claim the bell as his own — if it even exists at all.
