Conan is fishing when his village is attacked by Thulsa Doom's Raiders. Conan runs and finds his mother who defends him with a sword. Conan's Mother is eventually hypnotized by Thulsa Doom, who cuts off her head when she lowers her sword. Conan is then sold into slavery to the Vanir. From childhood to early adulthood he is forced to push a large gristmill until he is the final surviving child from his village. He is eventually sold to Red Hair who puts him in gladiator matches and eventually sends him East to train in swordsmanship taught by the Swordmaster. He is also taught language including poetry and philosophy and used as breeding stock. One night for reasons unknown, Red Hair frees Conan. He is chased by dogs into a cave where he finds a giant skeleton holding a sword. He takes the sword and kills the dogs. He arrives at the hut of a Witch wearing new furs. The Witch invites him into her hut and the she tells him he was prophesied to come. Conan asks for information about the snakes she mentions and she tells him he must pay a price for the information. As they are making love the Witch transforms and Conan throws her into the cooking fire. She then flies off into the night as a fireball. The next morning Conan walks out and meets Subotai who was captured by the Witch and chained up as dinner for wolves. Conan frees Subotai and they travel to the city of Zamora and the Tower of the Serpent. They happen upon Valeria, another thief at the base of the tower. Valeria decides to team up with Conan and Subotai who she implies are amateurs. Valeria stays in the upper area of the tower while she sends Conan and Subotai into the lower portion. Rexor is holding a sacrificial ceremony where a follower is to jump into a hole and be eaten by a giant snake. While Conan is stealing the a large jewel called the Eye of Set, Conan's dripping sweat wakes up the giant snake which attacks him. Conan and Subotai kill the giant snake, but beefore he leaves Conan takes a jade amulet of the snake cult which he recognizes from when his village was destroyed. Rexor is alerted to the thieves when the sacrificial victim jumps into the pit and immediately screams as the headless snake is thrashing. Conan and the others escape back to the top of the tower and jump down into the garden pool.
