Hades' men try to take Hercules prisoner, but he beats them up. Then Hades appears and begins firing lightning at Hercules, who passes out and the men take him with them. When Hercules regains consciousness, he finds himself in the Underworld. Hades tells Hercules he needs his help. He tells Hercules he needs to bring back Sisyphus, who has tricked the spirit of a man named Timuron to take his place in Tartarus. Hades says he can only give Hercules three days because after that Timeron's soul would be doomed to wander for eternity. Hades tells Hercules he can take Timuron's spirit with him. Hercules and Timeron then find Iolaus, and Hercules explains what they need to do.
