After Iolaus (Michael Hurst) is knocked unconscious by a lightning bolt during a sudden storm, he awakens with the uncanny ability to predict events before they happen. He proceeds to warn a skeptical Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) about the appearance of a beautiful young woman only moments before Rheanna (Audie England) rides up on horseback. She tells them of the death of her husband Jordis (Bruce Hopkins) during a failed rebellion against the ruthless King Melkos (Michael Keir-Morrisey), and pleads for Hercules' help in delivering her village from tyranny. Mesmerized by her passion and beauty, Hercules agrees to lend a hand and the three set out for Colchis. On the way, they come upon a group of fleeing villagers, who are suddenly attacked by king's soldiers under the command of Syrus (Nigel Godfrey). As Hercules, Iolaus and Rheanna rush to their defense, some of the refugees are inspired to join the fight and together, they drive off their attackers.
When they reach the village, Rheanna leads Hercules and Iolaus to the local tavern where the bartender Vericles (Robert Horwood), who is one of Rheanna's rebels, puts them up for the night. Meanwhile, King Melkos, in discussions with his right-hand man Grovelus (Michael Saccente) about a plan to crush the rebels the following day, is infuriated when Syrus shows up and recounts his failure at the hands of a woman and two strangers. Later that night, Iolaus predicts that Hercules is going to lose a lot of money. The next day, Rheanna holds a secret meeting with Hercules, Iolaus and her band of rebels, including Clarion (Grant Triplow), Vericles, Gnossus (Nigel Corbett) and his wife Hephates (Sara Wiseman). There she reveals a plan -- based on inside information from Gnossus, the King's bookkeeper -- to steal a shipment of gold paid for by the villagers' taxes as it is being transported through the Lucian forest. When they put the plan into action, however, they find themselves ambushed by mounted soldiers. Fortunately, Hercules and Iolaus are able to hold off the troops while the rebels flee.
As Hercules and Rheanna ponder who might have set them up, they learn that soldiers have dumped a body in the village square. The mortally wounded rebel turns out to be Gnossus who, with his dying breath, tells Rheanna and Hephates that he was not the traitor. When Hercules tries to comfort the devastated Rheanna, she reveals that Gnossus was her brother. Later that day, Iolaus predicts that his friend will be betrayed by Rheanna, and Hercules -- who is falling more and more in love with her by the moment -- dismisses the warning.
Meanwhile, Syrus saves himself from execution by revealing that one of his soldiers is close to a member of the rebels' inner circle. At the same time, Iolaus receives his most frightening vision yet -- he "sees" the death of Hercules.
At dawn the following morning, as the rebels gather in an abandoned temple to prepare for another raid, Syrus bursts in with his troops. Hercules and Iolaus jump into the fray but when Vericles is killed and Rheanna taken hostage, all are forced to surrender. The real traitor turns out to be Hephates, Rheanna's sister-in-law, and the woman Iolaus "saw" in his vision. King Melkos decrees that the rebels and Hercules will be found guilty and executed after a trial the next day. But when morning comes, Hercules and Iolaus cleverly trick their prison guards and free all the prisoners. Hercules, Iolaus and Rheanna make a dazzling escape with only seconds to spare. Now very much in love, Hercules and Rheanna make their way with Iolaus to a farmhouse in the countryside where Rheanna knows they'll be safe. There, she is simulaneously stunned and thrilled to see her husband Jordis alive, and learns that he was secretly rescued by rebels after the battle which Rheanna believed had killed him. That night, Hercules and Iolaus scale the walls of the king's castle and loose the drawbridge so the rebels can enter. The fierce battle which follows succeeds in toppling King Melkos, though Iolaus suffers a blow to the head which ends his power to foretell the future. In the end, Hercules bids a sad farewell to Rheanna, thanking her for taking his heart somewhere he was no longer sure it could go.
