Synopsis
In 73 B. C., a slave revolt led by Spartacus is quelled by Roman sentries. After all of his cohorts have been crucified, a rumor spreads that Spartacus has been freed by Marcellus. The ambitious senator Lucius Trasone is then sent from Rome to crush the rebels. Marcellus' younger brother Valerius, an ex-soldier and legionary from Spain, returns home to find that his family has been brutally murdered by Roman troops. To avenge their death, Valerius, with the assistance of his sweetheart Cynthia, joins a band of escaped gladiators led by Arminius. It becomes evident that a traitor is in their ranks, however, when Trasone's belligerent son Fulvius is captured by the slaves and mysteriously escapes. In pursuit, Valerius stumbles upon the fatally wounded Marcellus, who explains that Spartacus is dead, that Trasone planted the rumor to become more powerful, and that he has been betrayed by Arminius. His ruse discovered, Arminius plots the freedom fighters' slaughter, but Valerius orders the survivors to hide among the dead. After Trasone, Fulvius, and Arminius arrive to oversee the massacre, the slaves arise and kill the villains.
