If the title doesn't warn you this is a B-movie, the ridiculous little prologue will. But since it had almost nothing to do with anything other than introducing a few characters who die in the first four minutes of the film, I won't go into that.
The entire movie is like a Dungeons and Dragons nightmare. It starts as an Evil Guy (Shurka) kills all the nice people with the help of the Queen. The local wizard gives his son a magic ring of wizardry, which the kid promptly loses, then teleports him and his pet (a white, annoying wookie) to heavens knows where, then gets killed by Shurka's special effects. The protagonist, the little kid who can't hold on to a bloody RING, falls in with a drunken warrior named something wholly unimportant.
Around this time, a bunch of scantily clad women (not scantily clad by B-movie standards, but certainly not dressed for the occasion) attack Shurka for no apparent reason, start winning, then lose for, again, no apparent reason.
Our "heroes" roam about for a bit, get attacked by a spider-lady, wander a bit, have a near fatal dose of wedlock (no, really!), befriend a gnome, go through a cave full of bad stuff they laugh at, wander around a bit more, attack Shurka, and somehow win with the help of another inane attack by the scantily clad women. The kid and Shurka have a magical duel, which is made up of looking mean at each other from tall towers.
As all B-Movies, best watched around 3am.
Rating: 4 turkeys.
Scene to watch for: Shurka punishing a dwarf. I was laughing for three or four minutes after that.
Things that make you go "Huh?": Gnome and Big White Fuzzy Thing somehow appear in Shurka's castle.
