Hercules arrives to the Greek Kingdom of Iolcus. Asked by the King Pelias to retrieve the sacred Golden Fleece from the island of Colchides, Hercules will discover that Pelias has murdered his brother Aeson some 15 years before in order to reign over Thessaly. Our hero decides to help Jason, Aeson's son, to claim his legitimate throne. But, in the company of the Argonauts, Hercules must first deal with the dragon of Ares, a bunch of beast men and the army of the Amazons before coming back with the Golden Fleece.
