Jack the Giant Killer

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

In the Duchy of Cornwall of fairy tale days, an evil Magician (fantasy) named Pendragon, ruler of giants, Witchcraft, hobgoblins and all evil creatures, was defeated by the wizard, Herla, and along with his disciples, exiled to an uncharted, unknown island. Pendragon, however, vows revenge and Herla later dies, meaning that a threat against Pendragon no longer exists. Years later, the kingdom celebrates the crowning of Princess Elaine (Judi Meredith). The reception goes well until Pendragon (Torin Thatcher) arrives disguised as a foreign lord; as a birthday gift, he gives Elaine a magical music box with a small Anthropomorphism jester inside that walks and dances. When Elaine is asleep later that night, Pendragon uses his magic to turn the music box jester into a hideous giant named Cormoran, who captures Elaine. The castle guards try to stop the giant, but he overpowers them with relative ease and escapes. Cormoran takes Elaine to a ship run by Garna (Walter Burke) Pendragon's sidekick, but before it can sail, a brave farmer named Jack (Kerwin Mathews) rescues Elaine; Jack then fights Cormoran and slays the giant. In gratitude, King Mark (Dayton Lummis) makes Jack Elaine's protector and entrusts him to safely guide her to a convent across the sea. What he does not know, however, is that Elaine's waiting-maid, Lady Constance (Anna Lee), is actually a witch in league with Pendragon and reveals the king's plan to him.
