Maciste and his friend Bangor allow themselves to be captured by the Mole Men to rescue the people who have become slaves. The Mole Men live underground and operate giant machinery to mine gold and diamonds. The rays of the sun are deadly and will turn them to skeletons after a few minutes of exposure. They are ruled by Queen Mosab, who falls in love with Maciste and offers to release the slaves in exchange for marriage. The other Mole Men have different ideas. Maciste is put to a series of tests, including one involving giant slabs piled on top of him with his friends chained beneath it. The impact of the elaborate sets is severely compromised by the full-frame, washed-out print on the Retromedia release, but unfortunately it is the only one available.
