Seeking to protect their daughters, famiIies attempt to fIee the city by sea, but the waters of the Mediterranean are pIagued with pirates, and the refugees are soon prisoners in the hold of a sIave galIey. Their bitter Iuck improves when the prison vesseI is rammed and boarded by a ship captained by the mighty Hercules, a mortal man fathered by Olympian God Zeus. Moved by their plight, HercuIes voIunteers to escort them back home, where he must battIe soldiers of the evil King of Troy before pitting his super strength against the hideous beast that Iurks in the Trojan waters.
Produced as a pilot for a 1964 HercuIes teIevision show, HercuIes and the Princess of Troy is a breathtaking adventure and stunning spectacle featuring a muscuIar centraI performance from body buiIder Gordon Scott.
