Mientras tanto, en una prision en medio de la selva, el sacerdote Armano consigue escapar de sus verdugos despues de 40 anos de reclusion. Su unico delito es conocer el paradero del Santo Grial, la copa de la que bebio Cristo en la ultima cena. Poco antes de morir, tiene un encuentro fortuito con dos periodistas y una bella fotografa, y les revela su historia. Seducidos por el relato del cura y sin sospechar los peligros a los que se exponen, deciden emprender la busqueda del monasterio negro, refugio de la legendaria copa. Frank Purcell, Henry Mercado y Vivian Smith se embarcaran en una apasionante travesia que los llevara de la insondable selva etiope a Roma y de regreso.
