Sacrabeus, an evil sorcerer is terrorizing Paris. He's stealing children, the most important ingredient in his hideous recipe for immortality. The Queen is at her wits end; her army is defenseless against his unearthly powers. Yet an old man named Claude has reason to believe that a miracle is at hand. An ancient prophecy seems to foretell the sorcerer's destruction at the hands of a child. When Sacrabeus senses this threat to his very existence, he becomes desperate to destroy the child, while Claude will risk his own life to save him or her. However, neither Claude nor Sacrabeus knows the child's name or where the child lives.
