    Not much to say on this episode.
    The first half is very generic, as Hercules and Iolaus set out to rescue to the seemingly kidnapped fiance.

    The second half offers a couple of twists, as it emerges that everything is not as it seems about the mission.

    Casting wise, King Beraus is played by Joel Tobeck, who would go on to play minor God Strife in both this series and 'Xena: Warrior Princess'.

    Not the most bottom of the barrel it at least has a semi-decent plot, as opposed to some of the later, very silly episodes; but it has a very 'filler' feel to the whole thing. filler feel to the whole thing.moreless
