An unusually principled young Viking (former Monty Python member Terry Jones) becomes increasingly uncomfortable with all the killing and plundering that goes with the job, and sets out on a magical journey in order to bring about world peace.

Erik the Viking is tired of living in the darkness of the Age of Ragnorok, so he begins a quest to ask the gods to bring sunlight to his people.

(1965) Gordon Mitchell, Giuliano Gemma, Eleonora Bianchi, Elisa Montes. Erik (Mitchell) sails into danger in the New World. He is betrayed by a trusted warrior pal who murders his Greek navigator. He then causes Erik and his Viking pals to be captured by Indians! Ouch. Color, 16mm.

Erik the Viking gathers warriors from his village and sets out on a dangerous journey to Valhalla, to ask the gods to end the Age of Ragnorok and allow his people to see sunlight again. A Pythonesque satire of Viking life.
