At the Extra Points Bar, an inebriated Hercules hurls a chair at the TV and clobbers the bouncer when he tries to eject the Price of Power. The lady manager was willing to put up with Herc’s antics because he pays in gold but she is getting tired. Herc is accompanied by Jimmy, a cameraman recording his activities for the TV show and uses his connection to the hero to try to pick up woman. Herc suspects the manager is smitten with him and starts listing his Twelve Labors of legend. He admits it was done as punishment, levied by King Eurystheus, and excuses himself to go to the restroom. He is confronted by a sinister cloaked figure who hurls Herc through the door and reveals himself to be Hercules’ ancient enemy, Achelous the river god. In the form of a human bull, Achelous uses his serpentine tail to strangle Herc into submission, then drags him outside to a waiting limousine. Inside is Eurystheus, happy to see Hercules after all these years….
