Dario trying to clean up the doomed Rodhes town from enemies and a foreign invasion. Meanwhile, a Phoenician army attempts to attack Rodi. But rebels led by Peliocles (Georges Marchal) fight against the nasty rulers. A tyrant (Roberto Camardiel) and his hoodlum (Conrado San Martin) govern tyrannically the town. There he meets a good girl (Mabel Karr, wife to Fernando Rey, starring in The last days of Pompeii) and a bad girl (a gorgeous Lea Massari).
It's set in 280 B.C, the starring is Dario (a likable Rory Calhoun, though the original choice for the role of Darios was John Derek) an Athenian on holidays living in Rodi with his uncle Lisipo (Jorge Rigaud). In fact, this is one of the few films to be set in the Hellenic period that spanned the period from the death of Alexander the Great to the rise of Rome as a world power. After dieing Alexander the Great, his empire was split itself originating some independent kingdoms ruled by descendants of the Alexander's generals, this one was called the Hellenistic time.
