TV GUIDE PROMO
In an effort to insure that half-brother, Pollux, who has been accused of killing his twin brother Castor, is innocent until proven guilty, Hercules joins Lucius (another mortal son of Zeus) in his manhunt. Unbeknownst to Hercules, the destruc- tion of Pollux is just part of a more heinous plan orchestrated by Lucius and his crazy mother Iambe to eliminate all of Zeus's children... including our hero.



SYNOPSIS:

This synopsis is by Deb Roche

Herc is out for a stroll when he comes across two thugs robbing an old man. Herc jumps in and "orders" the thugs to leave the man alone. Three more thugs appear. A fight breaks out. Herc is doing fine on his own, but when a mysterious stranger drops in and lends a hand Herc is glad for the help.

The fight ends and the guys exchange introductions. The stranger says his name is Lucius, son of Zeus, Herc's 1/2 brother.

Herc brings Lucius to Kora's and introduces him to Iolaus and Lilith. Lucius tells a whole bunch of stories. One about Zeus kicking Ares off Olympus, and one about driving Apollo's chariot. Lucius says he sees Zeus at least once a week. he tells Herc that Zeus talks off him all the time. Herc is stunned. He wasn't even aware that Zeus knew he existed. When Iolaus brings up Castor & Pollux, Lucius tells everyone that Castor is dead, and that Pollox killed him.

Lucius tells Herc that Zeus has sent him on a mission to find Pollux and to bring him to Olympus for trail. Herc asks to accompany Lucius. Lucius at first refuses, then accepts.

Herc takes Lucius to see Pollux's mother Leda. Leda tells Herc that Pollix is in Romonus.

Lucius goes to see his mother. (I don't think we learned her name.) And, from the way the conversation goes, we learn they are baiting a trap for Herc.

The guys find Pollux. He's changed. He has given up the sword and is a man of peace. Lucius KO's Herc and takes both Herc & Poluux to a cave.

Herc wakes up, tied to post, and sees Pollox hanging from a beam over a spiked pile. Herc distracts Lucius by getting him to admit to killing Castor, as he tries to break the fabric that Lucius used to tie him to the pole.

Herc frees himself, and a fight breaks out. While fighting Herc realizes that everything Lucius told him was a lie.

Herc wins the fight and saves Pollux, but Lucius gets away. Herc brings Pollux home to Leda.

Godly mentions: Zeus, Ares, Apollo.
Godly appearances: none.
