An ancient church is being dismantled and moved to a new location, stone by stone. One of the gargoyles from the stones falls into the possession of a mother who takes the stone man back to her family. Soon after, four strangers show up in the village and the Sogood & Firkettle children seem to be the only ones who question the mysterious things that begin to happen. This film was originally broadcast across six 25 minute episodes with a total runtime of 150 minutes. A few years later, the US cable network Nickelodeon edited the miniseries into a 2 hour (including commercials) movie block. This 2 hour edited version was shown throughout the 1980s on US television.

Amina
Ndubuisi Okoh
Genevieve Nnaji, Patience Ozokwor
The contestation is on in the kings palace. Okwelu is accused of stealing, an offence that calls for severe punishment. The allegation is still to be substantiated and has been brought to the kings palace for a thorough examination. He is found guilty and judgment rendered: that he be buried alive in the evil forest. Such an untenable and garrulous punishment shifts the lineage of kingship and nurtures the conditions for deep acrimonies.
