The fantasy saga begun in The Fellowship of the Ring continues to unfold, with the original band of heroes separated from one another. The brave Hobbits, Frodo and Sam, further their quest to return the One Ring to the firepit from which it came; they are stalked by the devious and wretched creature Gollum, but ultimately recruit him to serve as their guide through the treacherous realm of Mordor. Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas continue their own quest to rescue Merry and Pippin from abducting orcs.
