Synopsis: A village boat ventures far for fish, but meets a fire troll looming in the mist and setting the sea afire! Jon insists they investigate, but cruel Jon demands they stay. The Vikings duel with sword and fiery war club, and Jon wins. Talking to Gunnda as she cooks, Jon eyes the big iron kettle... Venturing alone with an armored prow, Jon attacks the "fire troll" and shatters it. It was only a mist-hidden volcanic upthrust that crumbles into the sea!
