Craving a change in scenery, he boldly petitions his father Zeus for a terrestrial vacation. Despite his plea being rejected, an unexpected mishap involving one of Zeus' thunderbolts propels him into the heart of New York City. Thrust into an era far removed from his ancient Greek origins, Hercules grapples with the complexities of modern civilization.

However, the path of his earthly journey is enlightened by a college professor's daughter, whose guidance helps him navigate the intricacies of this new world. Slowly but surely, Hercules grows fond of his newfound life on Earth, desiring to extend his stay.

As celestial beings descend upon the city, Hercules finds himself torn between his divine origins and the allure of a mortal life.
