It's Strictly Ballroom Olympian style when Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) enters the annual Panathea dance contest with the klutzy Althea (Willa O'Neill). In order to best her beautiful, snobbish lifelong rival Ocea (Jay Saussey), Althea takes dance lessons from flamboyant instructor Widow Twankey (played by "Edith Sidebottom" -- actually, series regular Kevin Hurst [Iolaus] in drag!) With Onea's evil town magistrate, uncle Asterius (Stuart Devenie), willing to kill any competitors of his darling niece, Hercules and Althea are obliged to literally dance for their lives.
