A lightning bolt strikes Iolaus, who awakens with the power to predict events. He warns a skeptical Hercules about the appearance of a young woman only moments before Rheanna arrives on horseback. She tells them of the death of her husband, Jordis, during a failed rebellion against the ruthless King Melkos, and pleads for help in saving her village.

Iolaus later predicts that his friend will be betrayed by Rheanna, but to no avail: Hercules is falling in love with her. Melkos' troops ambush the rebels and take everyone prisoner, including Hercules. The real traitor turns out to be Rheanna's sister-in-law Hephates - the woman Iolaus "saw" in his first vision.

King Melkos sentences the rebels to death but Hercules and Iolaus lead a daring escape. Now much in love, Hercules and Rheanna take shelter in a farmhouse, where she is amazed to see her husband, Jordis, who was secretly rescued by rebels after a battle.

That night, Hercules and Iolaus scale the walls of the king's castle and help the rebels defeat King Melkos, though Iolaus suffers a blow to the head that ends his ability to foretell events. Hercules parts with Rheanna, who has stirred his heart in a way he had not felt since losing his family.
