When various trustees of the Van Traylen Orphanage begin dying in close order, it's at first written off as a coincidence. But, when a school bus accident very nearly takes out three more of them along with a group of orphans, Col. Bingham and his pathologist friend, Mark, begin looking into the deaths.

Queen of Lost Island

Topless model Julie (Julie Strain) becomes possessed by a demon and lures other models to a remote island, where she goes after them with a samurai sword. Filmed in 1994 as "Queen of Lost Island," and screened briefly under that title, this didn't receive a home video release until 2007 when it popped up on DVD as "Elixir." Most online sources claim this is the same film as "The Devil's Pet," but that is incorrect.

Part of that moving on includes getting remarried, this time to a young woman named Bianca Steele, who, for their honeymoon, he plans to take to the same Monterrey resort where he and Ellen spent their honeymoon. On that very same day, Ellen is dropped off in Los Angeles by the Navy, who rescued her from the South Pacific island where she was stranded for the past five years.
