Mark Forest is the friendly muscle man who helps the poor slaves of Egypt in their rebellion against the Pharaoh and Queen who abuse them. He performs super-human acts of strength to save slaves in distress. He fights lions and alligators with no weapons. Finally gaining access to Queen Smedes, he falls for her seductive dance of veils. The Pharaoh is under her control by wearing a "necklace of forgetfulness" so he doesn't remember that he too was once a common man. Once Maciste removes the necklace, the fall of the Queen will follow. Typical entry in the "peplum" genre, spiced up by a fair amount of bloody combat and slave torture.
