Hercules is determined to prevent a war between the realms of Antioch and its neighbor Carpathia, whose king Georgas asks Hercules's help and denies instigating the fights at their shared border town. Iolays is dispatched to Antioch, where the prince is hosting a ball for marriage-eligible princesses. Having found among tackier loot an invitation, Autolycus groomed his show dancer friend Cupcake to pose as a fictitious Cprpathian princess, initially as a distraction so he can steal Antioch's priceless giant sapphire, but surprisingly she and the prince fall in love. The warmonger strikes at the ball.
