Synopsis for Merlin: "Temple of the Man-Eating Spider"
In an effort to contribute to the British War Relief Fund, Merlin the Magician travels to Katmandu, and from there onward to Forbidden Temple of the Man-Eating Spider, home of the giant Khotan "Buddha of the All-Seeing Eye", a large and extremely valuable diamond. He gets into the temple, fatally defeats the spider-god Agor, turns the priests into bats, and impales the high priestess on a spear, steals the diamond, then destroys the entire temple with a magical bomb. He soon charters a small airplane, and flying it himself he brings the "All-Seeing Eye" back to London, where he turns it over to Winston Churchill.
