Synopsis
While digging in Greece, a greedy fortune-hunter searches out the ancient cave ruins of the Greek legend Medusa. Although a young village girl named Zola tries to convince the hunter that Medusa is merely a myth, the fortune-hunter is relentless in his hunt for treasure. Left alone to dig, he finds a golden shield, but he must now face the consequences of stealing as he comes face to face with the legendary Medusa.

Production notes
Much like the series (and EC comics) that the cartoon was based on, the show featured different child characters weekly who ended up in twisted situations, but with a little more morality play than the HBO series. In this second season episode, The Vaultkeeper and The Old Witch (both narrators from the comic series) share storytelling duties with The Cryptkeeper.
