Synopsis

The governor of Lydia Marzio (Massimo Serato), advised by its general Goliath (Gordon Scott), signed a pact of alliance with Alexander the Macedonian (Gabriele Antonini) at war with Darius king of Persia. Alejandro, before marching against the Persians, asks Marzio to care of beautiful Kory, a princess of an allied kingdom, who Goliath had saved from bandits. Goliath and Kory are attracted, while Artaferne, prime minister, corrupted by Darius, poisons the governor and accused Kory of the crime. Kory flees and Goliath rebels, until a successful revolt manages to defeat Artaferne.
