Spring vacation has come, and the students from Cheiron's Academy are on break. Hercules, son of the god Zeus, along with Lilith and Iolaus, decide to visit the Amazons at the urging of Hercules, who has a crush on the Amazon queen, Cyane. But when they arrive at the Amazon settlement, they find it deserted: One of the gods has vanquished the tribe. The Amazons have been captured by the Yoruba, members of a West African kingdom. That nation's god of war, Ogun, plans to inflame his people against the Amazons. And Ares, the Greek god of war, protector, and defender of the Amazons, is powerless to help his subjects because Zeus, his father, has forbid any Greek god from interfering in the affairs of foreign gods. In order to save the Amazons, Ares must join forces with Hercules, which is no easy matter since Ares hates his brother for being their father's favorite son.
