Synopsis

The village is being attacked by pterodactyls. Billy and Mina run for safety into a nearby ancient temple, where they encounter Maplewhite, Colver and Urcon. Inside the temple, they find the ancient Scepter of Light. Urcon decides to take the scepter and safeguard its magic. Urcon tries to fight off the pterodactyls with the scepter, but one of the dinos flies off with it, and another grabs Giggles! The explorers set out to rescue Giggles, with Mina and Billy close behind. Maplewhite and Urcon are close behind, anxious to retrieve the scepter. The adventure begins in a labyrinth of the pterodactyls' nesting site of huge clay nests. Coya, too, is anxious for the return of the scepter, for when the sunlight falls on top of the crystal embedded on the scepter in a particular way, it reflects and reveals a detailed plan of the Forbidden City!
