The Colossus of Rhodes
A Greek military hero named Darios visits his uncle in Rhodes in the year 280 BC. Rhodes has just finished constructing an enormous colossus of Apollo to guard its harbor and is planning an alliance with Phoenicia which would be hostile to Greece. Darios flirts with the beautiful Diala, daughter of the statue's mastermind, while becoming involved with a group of rebels headed by Peliocles. These rebels seek to overthrow the tyrannical King Serse as does Serse's evil second-in-command, Thar. The rebels' revolt seems to fail, with Peliocles and his men being captured and forced to provide amusement in the local arena, but an earthquake eventually upsets, not only the Colossus in the harbor, but the balance of power in Rhodes as well.

- "Darios, héros militaire grec, rend visite à son oncle à Rhodes en 280 av. J.-C. Rhodes vient d'achever la construction d'une énorme statue d'Apollon (le colosse) pour protéger son port et envisage une alliance avec la Phénicie contre la Grèce. Darios s'éprend de la jolie Diala, fille de l'architecte de la statue, mais il est aussi impliqué avec un groupe de rebelles menés par Peliocles. Ces rebelles cherchent renverser le tyran Xerxès, de même d'ailleurs que son second, Therion. Les rebelles sont capturés et forcés d'amuser la foule dans l'arène, mais un tremblement de terre renverse le colosse et ... le pouvoir."
