Based on the 490 B.C. Greek marathon runner who ran from Marathon to Athens to warn of Persian attacks and to Sparta to get assistance in the defense of Greece, there are many liberties taken as our hero (Steve Reeves) takes charge of the fighting and saves the Athenians, Greece, and even the rest of Europe from the dastardly Persians.

The decadence of the aristocracy in late 19th-century Italy is the theme of this story about Tullio (Giancarlo Giannini) who openly has a passionate affair with the widow, Countess Teresa (Jennifer O'Neill).

Now, Tullio's renewed interest in Giuliana suffers a setback when she gives birth to an illegitimate son.
