Hercules, Iolaus, and Jason decide to use a timid farmer named Timor -- that bares a striking resemblence to Ares -- to try and avert a war that's been brewing between Sparta and Thebes. The first part of their plan is to have "Ares" have a change of heart towards Hercules. This will infuriate Discord and Strife, who "Ares" will punish by forcing them to do hard labor on Timor's farm. With the two bumbling lackeys out of the way, "Ares" will go with Jason to a peace talk, where he will demand that the envoys from the two kingdoms call a truce.
Everything goes according to plan until Timor's "Ares" mustache falls off in front of Strife and Discord. The real Ares shows up in a foul mood. With a new found courage, Timor ends up helping Hercules best Ares in a fight. Later, "Ares" shows up at the peace talk that Jason has set up between envoys from Sparta and Thebes. He demands they cease fighting. Since they think Ares has commanded it, the two sides agree to have peace.
