    An elderly mother and father throw their adult son into a snake pit. He's bitten numerous times. He then explores the underground caverns and encounters a hidden cult of snake people descended from the original snake from the Garden of Eden. They plan on rising up to destroy the surface world. The son then wakes up in a hospital and finds out that the reason his parents threw him into the snake pit was so the snake venom would cure him of his insanity.
