Synopsis:
Rip and his crew travel to 18th century Poland to investigate the legendary wizard Kraklow. Rip learns that Kraklow possesses magic clay which allows him to transform men into strange creatures. The sorcerer intends to conquer Poland, but Rip and his crew destoy the wizard's supply of clay, before returning to their own time.

In the present Rip is transformed into one of Kraklow's creatures. Jeff uses the antidote on him, but sometime later Rip is changed again. To prevent further changes, Rip and his team return to Kraklow's time. The sorcerer blackmails Rip into helping with his invasion. With modern weapons, Kraklow overthrows King Stanislaus.

Keeping his promise, Kraklow gives the last of the magic clay to Rip. Jeff then uses the clay to change Rip back into a creature and defeat Kraklow's army. Kraklow is thrown in the dungeon by the king, but Jeff loses the clay. Rip and his crew return to their own time, but Rip worries that one day he could again become one of Kraklow's creatures.
