SYNOPSIS:
Synopsis by Liz Sheppard.
Salmoneus is questing for dinars(what else is new) when he finds an old
temple. He goes there in search of food.
The only problem is when he gets there, gold is everywhere, and lots of it.
Before he can do a happy dance, he falls threw a hole in the floor.
Iolaus and a girl named Mariah are looking for some lost girls, one of
them is Iolaus' cousin. Mariah believes they were taken from visitors from
other continents(hehe), but Iolaus just wants to find his cousin. They
argue alot, like an old bickering married couple. She complains on the lack
of food and they find an old temple filled with thugs. Big long fight scene
that's in every Herc ep breaks out, only without Herc. After the thugs
leave, they find lots of food and pig out. When they wake up, they find the
food is gone and lote of gold. Iolaus falls though a hole, with Mariah
falling in later. They find Hippy Hippy town with Salmoneus among them.
"Brother Sal" seems quite peaceful and has no memory of Herc or Iolaus.
They all have dinner, with a weirdo named Camarous. They talk about
everybody worshiping their god, Lorel. Iolaus doesn't like the smell of the
dessert and he, along with Mariah run off. She gets suspicious and Iolaus
noticed something wrong with Sal. Other than what's normally wrong with him.
While Iolaus walks around, he finds Regina, his cousin, who doesn't know
who he is and runs away. Lorel appears before them. She's a young girl,
about the age of 11, and doesn't talk. Brother Sal shows up and he gives
Iolaus a tour around so Mariah can snoop. While in the gold mines, Iolaus
questions Brother Sal on his view on gold. He says it's just rock and
mineral. Hmmmm
Camarous has his chest licked by some blonde and makes Aurora watch. She
gets grossed out and runs away. Mariah finds her. Aurora is crying about
Lorel, saying that she is her kid sister. Iolaus pops by, saying that he
made a deal with Brother Sal, saying that if he didn't eat any of the food
for a day, then Iolaus would join the group. He also gave Mariah a few gold
nuggets and left to free Lorel.
Iolaus finds Lorel sitting very still in a room. When he tries to carry
her away, Camarous along with thugs show up to stop them. Iolaus uses the
fake godling as a blunt object and a backpack, but end up getting shot by a
dart. When he comes to, he finds himself strapped to a chair and made to
watch a fan thing go round and round. It's supposed to wash his brain.
Aurora and Mariah find Brother Sal who's no longer their brother. He's
frustrated because he has stopped eating the food and Iolaus isn't around.
Mariah then temps him by sticking the gold nuggets down her shirt. He's
hooked. The girls also find Regina. Iolaus also told her to stop eating.
The three girls team up to take Lorel from Camarous. They end up running
into a hippy hippy peace love Iolaus. Mariah tries to knock some sense into
him, but he's still hippy hippy. Good thing too, because Camarous was
overhearing them.
Sal runs into the girls. He remembers Iolaus as a blonde guy that used to
hang out with a big guy. He runs off to get some gold.
While Mariah is looking for Lorel, Camarous finds her and locks her up in
that chair, trying to get her to eat the food. Camarous even tries to get
the hippy sidekick to feed her but it backfires. The real Iolaus comes to
and starts beating up the bad guys. Sal shows with a barrel full of gold
and starts throwing gold whereever they need it. Camarous gets mad and he
and Iolaus start sword fighting. Iolaus remembers a symbol on the sword and
reveals Camarous is actually Carcass, some bad guy from an eariler episode
which I can't remember. Iolaus frees Mariah and continues fighting with
Carcass.
The girls with Sal are trying to convince the others that Lorel isn't a
god. When Lorel shows up, she tells everyone the same. Then everybody is
convinced that Camarous is a baddy.
Carcass has cut a rope that will make the city fall in on itself. Iolaus
ends up killing Carcass by pushing him into the fan. Everybody leaves
through a secret exit. The city is gone and everybody is loving the air and
sun. Sal kept the gold nuggets as souvenirs. Iolaus and Mariah walk away
talking about Herc giving birth to a two headed dog. Don't ask.
Peace, brother.
