Clapperton is really Wordell, Jim Crabb’s father’s companion! Years earlier, Wordell forced the witch doctor Okanharet to build a statue that would grow old in his place. The statue is horribly marked by time and by the wickedness of Wordell who, on the other hand, has become practically immortal...

Colonel Maddenbrook, commander of Fort Bravery, sends for Zagor and Chico. His son Walter set out on a journey to reach the fort together with some friends, but for two months there has been no news of him. Zagor and Chico go in search of the young man and arrive at New Salem, a settlement where clothing, architecture, and customs are still frozen in the seventeenth century and where Evil reigns.

The inhabitants of New Salem, led by their chief Stephan, a man endowed with prodigious supernatural strength, worship a demon named Haggoth and sacrifice to it the unfortunate travelers who come to the village. Now it is Walter Maddenbrook’s turn, but he is saved by Zagor with the help of Abraham Stoke, a descendant of a witch hunter and himself an enemy of the cult of Haggoth. Stephan dies in the flames of the demon’s church, and the people of New Salem renounce their sinister religion.
