A reluctant Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) agrees to pose nude for a metal statue in exchange for a donation to the war orphan's fund. It is lovestruck female blacksmith Atalanta (Cory Everson) who forges the statue, wishing that it were the real thing. Her wish comes true -- disastrously -- when war god Ares' handmaid Discord (Meighan Desmond) brings the statue to life. Things get worse when the metallic "Herc" commits a murder for which the real Hercules is blamed. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
