Plot
editA young man named Frank Davies was introduced to Sakobi by his friend Patrick due to Frank's desperation for wealth. Sakobi, who belongs to the cult of Kongodis and worships the goddess known as the Mighty Serpent, instructs Frank to sacrifice his only daughter, Hope, for rituals. Another condition set by Sakobi is that Frank must marry her, which leads Frank to abandon his family. In the end, the goddess rejects the sacrifice of Hope and curses Frank with a short life. When Frank attempts to appease the gods through a native doctor, Sakobi, the snake girl, swallows him after the native doctor vanishes.
