Synopsis

The people of Samar are held in bondage by the powers of the moon men who inhabit the interior of the Mountain of Death. Every 3 months, young men and women are sacrificed to them, and the Queen of Samar does nothing to stop this practice, since she has been promised power when the moon men complete their plans for world conquest. Patriots call on Hercules to rid the country of its oppressors, but he cannot prevent the queen from handing over her own stepsister to the moon men as a sacrificial victim. Hercules finally succeeds in gaining entrance to the Mountain of Death, freeing the stepsister, and putting an end to the terrible reign of the moon men.
