- Synopsis
- On a blood-soaked Belgian battlefield, covered with thousands of dead and dying soldiers, the Duke of Wellington faces defeat by Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French. The Prussians, who promised to come to the British aid have failed to appear.
  
  Exhausted, Wellington unleashes his secret weapon, Aibell and her twenty-five howling banshees - he prays they will beat Napoleon’s feared Imperial Guard and end the war once and for all.
  
  The rains fall, an eerie fog settles, a vicious battle ensues - it seems the French will be victorious but Aibell and a handful of banshees escape into the valley below La Haye Sainte. The Emperor (demanding total annihilation) and his Guard pursue them, hunting them to their death. For once however, Bonaparte hasn’t fully understood his enemy and the power they wield.
  
  Hell has indeed been unleashed.
  
  Fighting for his life, his reputation, the future of France, Napoleon, wounded and separated from his Guard, eventually captures Aibell and her banshees and destroys them.
  
  Night falls, an exhausted Emperor wanders back to his farmhouse base. He informs his men that glory is theirs, the British are defeated.
  
  The war is over.
  
  Then word reaches them: the Prussians have arrived…
