Having lived through traumatizing events during WWII, Father Lankester Merrin takes a sabbatical from the Church to conduct archaeological excavations in British-administered East Africa. Merrin unearths an ancient Byzantine church believed have been built and then immediately buried to keep down evil from the crypt below. The natives are convinced that uncovering the church has unleashed a demon, and begin to violently clash with the British military troops. As the village rapidly disintegrates into chaos and war, a disabled and terribly injured local boy befriends Merrin and his condition begins to radically and implausibly improve. Is it a miracle from God, or something more sinister?
A fully clothed woman is shown on a bed in rapid flashes as well as a fully clothed man in a nightmarish series of images.

Some long-horned cattle killed a bunch of hyenas. A cow is then shown to be eating the hyena belly out in the midst of a bunch of dead hyenas and other cattle. Shortly after that, the tribal people speak to them. Then in bloody detail, a cow is seen eating a strip of bloody hyena flesh.
A man's leg has been cut open, and the doctors are preparing to split it open. The instant they strike the hammer, the woman who is giving birth nearby screams and a second later, a fetus is held up, bloody and dead with about two hundred maggots crawling all over it.
The British troops go into the tomb/temple and see the looters had been crucified upside down on the altar.
