Hercules Against the Barbarians (1964)

Jonia Film
Directed by Domenico Paolella
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(MGMHD)

Genghis Khan and the Mongols are invading Poland, but the Poles have a secret weapon named Hercules. So the Mongols are held at bay for awhile. A woman is branded a witch, but Hercules shows up at the last second to save her from burning at the stake. It turns out she is the Queen of Poland disguised as a peasant. She gets help from another woman who is really a Mongol. They both fall in love with Hercules. He fights a rubbery alligator in a swamp and a giant snake. He joins an acrobatic act to gain access to Genghis. One of the acrobats is a midget. Hercules fights a large black man who ends up killing Genghis. The queen gets the throne and Hercules gets a woman. Not a bad way to waste a couple of hours.
