With Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) occupied elsewhere, Iolaus (Michael Hurst) heads to Attica for some r-and-r. Upon his arrival, Iolaus is pressed into service to impersonate his dissolute look-alike Prince Orestes (also Michael Hurst), thereby preventing Orestes' brother, Minos (Robert Pollock), from stealing the throne. As part of the masquerade, Iolaus must go through with an arranged marriage with the beautiful but icy Princess Niobe (Lisa Ann Hadley). Yes, it's The Prisoner of Zenda, Hercules-style, complete with the climactic sword duel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Now fighting side by side as allies rather than enemies, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Xena (Lucy Lawless) do battle against mutual enemy Darphus (Matthew Chamberlain), who has risen from the dead to wreak more havoc. As usual, this resurrection is the handiwork of war god Ares, who is using Darphus to harvest meat for Ares' vicious man-eating dog, Graegus. Hercules' friend, Iolaus (Michael Hurst), wants to join the fight against the villain, but he has no good reason to trust Xena. Things come to a head when Darphus kidnaps Salmoneus (Robert Trebor) to lure Hercules into a trap. This final episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys' first season neatly sets the stage for episode one of the spinoff series Xena: Warrior Princess. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
