Asparia (Anna-Maria Polani) is the Queen of the Hellenes, and has been captured by the Babylonians. Somehow, she has hidden her royalty and is living as a common slave in Babylon. Hercules (Rock Stevens, who is really Peter Lupus, who played Flex Martian in Muscle Beach Party, Goliath in Goliath at the Conquest of Damascus and Superman in a series of Air Force commercials, a job he lost when he posed fully nude in Playgirl) is on his way to save her.
King Phaleg of Assyria (Mario Petri) comes to Babylon hoping to marry Asparia and unite their kingdoms. That's stopped by the rulers of the country, Taneal (Helga Line), Salmanassar (Livio Lorenzon) and Azzur (Tullio Altamura). Hercules saves him and continues to Babylon.
When he gets there, the brothers are fighting over who gets to marry Asparia while Taneal destroys her own nation to get its riches. Brother kills brother, King Phaleg shows his true colors and Hercules does what he does best.
This was directed by Domenico Paolella, who directed his first movie, Gli ultimi della strada, in 1940 and wrote his last, Power and Lovers, in 1994. He also wrote the story with Luciano Martino.
The problem I have with this is that Helga Line, as a murderous maniac, is so much more attractive than Polani. If I had the power of Hercules, I know that my decisions would not be as godly.
