King Androcles of Thebes commands a ship in search of a threat to Greece, predicted by an atmospheric oracle. Hercules is part of the crew, but the strongman falls overboard in a thick fog. Washed ashore, he saves a young Ismene from Proteus, an evil, shape-shifting creature. Ismene takes Hercules to Atlantis, where he discovers that her mother, Queen Antinea, has captured Androcles. Hercules schemes to rescue him and thwart Antinea’s dream of world conquest.

“In Rome,” Moullet wrote in 1962, translated for the first time in Narrow Margin Issue 1, “it’s fashionable to say that you’ve never seen a single Cottafavi film, because they’re all so bad. But people often go and see them on the sly, with heads bowed down and Godard glasses on.” In this film, Hercules must save Greece from the queen of Atlantis.” -NARROW MARGIN
