Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Ex-Tarzan Gordon Scott plays the "son of Hercules" (at least that's how he's designated in the TV print) in this sword 'n' sandal opus. The beast of Babylon (Michael Lane) is an evil king who considers the day wasted if he hasn't trampled on the rights of the citizens of Assyria. To make matters worse, the king regularly sacrifices pretty young maidens to the resident goddess. Scott muscles his way into the proceedings and spearheads a rebellion. The US theatrical title for this testosterone-laden adventure was Hero of Babylon.
