He befriends Pretzie (Arnold Stang), a pretzel vendor who assists him in navigating the new environment. Hercules embarks on a career in professional wrestling, drawing the attention of criminals seeking to exploit his power. Meanwhile, Zeus, displeased with his son's disobedience, strips him of his divine strength.
