Synopsis

Returning to his village, Goliath finds it destroyed by a masked band which killed all but the young women, who, along with Goliath's fiancée, Julia, have been taken to be sold as slaves. Goliath follows and, aided by Buono, a chemist, who is leader of the bluemen, frees the women, but Julia isn't among them. Buono tells Goliath that the masked men's leader is a vampire who turns men into robots and tortures his enemies. Goliath is later captured by Amazon beauty Astra, who is leading the Sultan's men; Goliath is placed in a cell, to his surprise, with Julia. They are freed when the Sultan learns that Astra is secretly in league with the vampire against him. The vampire kills the Sultan. With Julia and Buono, who knows how to return the vampire's human robots to normal, Goliath captures Astra and leaves her with Julia and Buono while he goes to find the vampire. Astra escapes and warns the vampire, and Goliath is captured by robots. The vampire assumes Goliath's identity and goes to Julia and Buono to kill them with a bomb, but Goliath escapes, assisted by the repentant Astra, and arrives in time to save his friends and kill the vampire. Astra is killed by the vampire during the battle; Buono becomes the new sultan; and Julia and Goliath return home.
