Deric the Centaur (Peter Muller), his human bride Lyla (Lucy Lawless), and their "half-breed" son Kefor (James Croft) are subjected to the cruel bigotry of a group of Cretans promoting "Athenian Purity." In the course of events, Lyla is killed, Deric is forced to commit murder, and Kefor is kidnapped by the Cretan Jakar (Jon Brazier), who is determined to lynch both Deric and his son. It is up to Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) to save Jakar's intended victims from the crowd's wrath and to teach an important lesson in tolerance (with a little help from Hercules' immortal father, Zeus). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
