An old archeologist ventures out into the desert to find his daughter. The two seem to be rather estranged and not to friendly with each other. He tells her that he has a brain tumor and can die at anytime, but, wants her help in discovering what he believes to be the fountain of youth threw the local native tribes. The two do find the fountain witch the old man drinks from, and to there surprise he is young again, but, only for a short time. He then discovers that a sacrifice must be made to hold everlasting life from the fountain, but, with dire consequences. I'm not going to say this was a masterpiece or anything but I'm not quite sure why the other reviewers thought this was really bad, I mean three star ratings really?? On the down side they put star Leif Garrett in some bad looking old man makeup, and the fact that the ending sorta cops out without showing you the main characters fate did kinda irritate me. However the acting is better this time around and I did like the old Native American wise man. As for the complaints that there wasn't any monster in this episode maybe you need to watch it again because I'm pretty sure the monster here was human.
