Synopsis
Corydon is a shepherd boy with a goat's foot, and his village neglects him because of it. He is driven out and ends up displayed as a monster in a travelling show alongside creatures from classical Greek myth. Corydon helps the monsters escape and finds a home with them on a hidden island. When an army of heroes arrives to hunt the creatures down, Corydon must persuade the monsters to unite so that they can defend the place that has become home to them.
