In the small kingdom of Mersabad, a man named Oniris leads a group of conspirators planning a coup. Oniris hires gladiators as mercenaries to fight against the kingdom's army, and among them is Maciste, hired to protect Princess Talima. When Talima is kidnapped, Maciste pledges to rescue her. After succeeding, he eliminates the conspirators, including Oniris. Eventually, Maciste discovers that Talima's sister was involved with Oniris. He exposes her and restores Princess Talima as the rightful ruler to the throne.
