What happens

Ursus in the Valley of the Lions (Italian: Ursus nella valle dei leoni, also known as Valley of the Lions) is a 1962 Italian sword-and-sandal film directed by Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia. Although it was the fourth film in the Italian "Ursus" series, it was the first to provide Ursus with an origin story, explaining how he was raised by a lioness. Ed Fury once again appears as Ursus and Alberto Lupo plays the villainous Ajak. When the film was distributed in the US, the title was shortened to simply Valley of the Lions. This film was also distributed as Son of Atlas in the Valley of the Lions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
