Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una misión ultrasecreta nazi ha dado con un grupo de gárgolas de piedra que se hallaban ocultas en un castillo en Europa, y planean utilizarlas para sus planes de dominar el mundo. Realizando un sacrificio humano, las estatuas vuelven a la vida y, fuera de control, desatan una masacre. Mientras tanto un grupo comando de americanos e ingleses se encuentra en la zona, siendo atacados por las gárgolas. Aliándose con la resistencia local, éstos le cuentan que una secta pagana las invocó hace muchos siglos y terminaron por generar una matanza. La única manera de detenerlos es matando a la gárgola líder, la que le da vida al resto de las criaturas; y para ello deberán ubicar la tumba de un caballero feudal, donde se encuentra la Lanza del Destino, la única arma que puede detener a los demonios alados. Pero perseguidos por las gárgolas y las fuerzas nazis, el comando aliado parece haberse topado con una misión imposible. (FILMAFFINITY)

Why does Bolton demand that his gallery "monsterpieces" speak for themselves? What does he do with that ornamental knife that he carries everywhere? Will Marcus ever learn how to operate the camera?
