Summary:

Son of Hercules: This time Maciste shows up in the Ancient Egyptian city of Tanis where the evil Queen Smedes is making it tough for the common folk. Son of Cleopatra: "El Kabir," is the Egyptian Robin Hood who fights for his people against the oppressive rule of Rome.

Hero of Rome: When a man attempts to slay the leader of an opposing army, his failure prompts him to thrust his killing hand into a blazing fire as penance. He then must learn to fight one-handed and reclaim his dignity. The invincible gladiator: Forced to fight for his very life in the arena of death, he learns the lessons of love, friendship and betrayal.

War gods of Babylon: The King of Ninevah conquers the mighty city of Babylon. The Gods of Babylon destroy their enemies with a flood. War goddess: Antiope is the Queen of the Amazons, who must mate with the Greek king Theseus to propagate her race. Traditionally done out of duty, this time something goes amiss and Antiope falls in love, which is a no-no for an Amazon Queen.

The magic voyage of Sinbad: Sinbad seeks to bring happiness to his people - first by trying to give money and goods to the poor, then by seeking out the Blue Bird of Happiness. Day the Earth froze: The sister of master blacksmith/magician falls in love. Now the Ilmarinen needs to create the Sampo, a magic mill that makes silver and gold, flour and salt. When evil witch Loukhi's initial plan to acquire the Sampo is foiled, she retaliates by stealing the sun right out of the sky.
