Synopsis

The Serpent Goddess begins with Casey, the ace crime photographer, and his partner Anne Williams interviewing Dan Sykes, a rugged adventurer recently returned from the jungles of South America. Sykes, along with his partner Chris Johansson, has brought back a fortune in emeralds, but their tale is laced with mystery and danger. They claim to have encountered a snake with a woman's face, a story that seems too bizarre to be true.
