Hans Christian Andersen collides head-on with Hercules: The Legendary Journeys in this episode. Discord (Meighan Desmond) tricks Nautica (Andrea Dotchin), the mermaid daughter of sea god Triton (Bruce Hopkins), into giving up her fish tail in exchange for legs. Upon assuming human form, Nautica falls in love with Iolaus II (Michael Hurst). Unfortunately, unless Nautica returns to the sea for an arranged marriage, all Grecian waters will permanently freeze over. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Acting upon a premonition, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) returns to her home village of Potidea. Here she is shunned by her former neighbors, who feel that Gabrielle has let them down in battle. Even worse, Potidea is being "protected" by a burned-out, drunken warrior, Meleagor the Mighty (Tim Thomerson). With the minions of an evil warlord threatening to destroy the village, Gabrielle must take over the defense of her people -- without the help of Xena (Lucy Lawless), and very likely without the dubious assistance of the pathetic Meleagor. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The titular sword in this episode is well named: Anyone who holds the weapon is incapable of telling a lie. Hoping to prove that warrior-turned-pacifist Amphion (Brad Carpenter) is innocent of murder, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Iolaus (Michael Hurst) search for the sword in the grim Thalian caves. They are guided in this endeavor by Amphion's virginal sweetheart Leah (Kim Michalis) -- while the real murderer, not wishing to be forced into a confession by the sword, plots the demise of the three intrepid do-gooders. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
