Hercules
and his publicist Richard Fenster are driving along the California coast when
they come upon a crew fighting a wildfire; Herc rescues the trapped firefighters
then creates a firebreak by swinging a burning tree in an arc. Herc and Richard
resume their journey…
…watched
by the villains Typhon the Titan and the witch Cylla. Typhon had tried to
overthrow Zeus but he was defeated by Hercules with the help of the Avengers.
He was banished to the pit of Hades where he met Cylla, who also has a grudge
against Hercules over a nasty breakup. She is free to leave the pit and takes
him with her; they go to the Temple of Prometheus where Typhon seeks to recover
his battle axe. Taking it from a burning brazier sears it to his hand and it
can only be removed by the blood of his worst enemy, according to Cylla. They
then descended to Earth, causing the wildfire seen earlier….
The
villains run Richard’s car off the road and into the ocean; Herc manages to
escape, bringing Richard with him. Herc and his Titan enemy fight, while the
witch causes vines to sprout from the ground trapping Hercules. But Typhon
resents her interference, causing her to want vengeance against him too.
Richard, meanwhile, has recovered from his faint and helps Herc by bashing
Cylla over the head with a big stick. The two mighty combatants plunge into the
ocean—and Herc delivers the final blow to Typhus, who yields. But a bit of
Typhon’s blood drips on his hand and the axe is suddenly released; Cylla
confirms that Typhon was his own worst enemy. Then Zeus arrives to transport
the villains back to Hades, leaving Herc and Richard to hitchhike to their
destination….
