The beautiful and sensuous Norse goddess Brynhild resides in the palatial heavens of Asgard, famous for the Hall of the Slain, also known as Valhalla. As Odin's lover, Brynhild has a special status in Asgard, where she is the head of the Valkyries. Her amorous relationship with Odin, however, has incurred the jealousy of Odin's wife, Frigg. When Brynhild willfully disobeys Odin's orders, the chief of the gods decides to exile Brynhild to live another lifetime on planet Earth. Here she is to marry the greatest warrior on the planet, Sigurd, and her mission is to enlighten the populace, who are making slow progress during this barbaric period of Late Antiquity. But many obstacles are placed between Brynhild and Sigurd, and the two star-crossed lovers are forced to part. Brynhild is obliged to marry Gunnar, the King of the Nibelungs. As the virgin goddess whose strength is derived from her virginity, Brynhild has no interest in marital relations, but she must perform her wifely duty as the Queen of the Nibelungs, much to her consternation. In the meantime, Nibelungenland is facing a serious threat from the barbarian Huns, who mean to pillage and destroy the magical, mythical kingdom under the leadership of their infamous chieftain, Attila.
