Hades, the God of the Underworld, sends for Hercules because he needs a favor. Hades has a young man named Timeron in Tartarus, but he's there because he was tricked into taking the place of King Sisyphus of Corinth, on Timeron's wedding night. Hades wants Hercules to bring Sisyphus to the Underworld, where he belongs, so that Timeron's spirit can go to the Elysian Fields, where he belongs. Hades is so backed up that he doesn't have the time to do it himself. The catch? Hercules only has 3 days to do it in because if Sisyphus isn't brought to Tartarus in that time then Timeron's spirit is doomed to wander forever and Hades has "inventory coming up".

Timeron's spirit decides to join Hercules in his quest because he wants to help and see Daphne, his wife of only 4 hours, to make sure she's alright. Together they set out to bring the King back. Hercules soon discovers that Timeron and Daphne didn't even get to share a wedding night, before he was taken away. Hercules doesn't think that Timeron coming should pose a problem when he finds out that no one but him should be able to see or hear Timeron, not even Iolaus.

Iolaus finds the whole thing strange and kind of creepy trying to help someone who he can't see or hear, except when Timeron moves a leaf or something. He even walks through Timeron, without knowing it. However, he's determined to help out because the whole thing just isn't right. Iolaus gets the chance to see Timeron, though. Hercules and him quickly discover that when Timeron gets emotional he'll materialize.

King Sisyphus begins to suspect that Hades will not take the replacement of Timeron for him. Thus, he brings Daphne to stay at the castle with him and his queen, which makes bringing Sisyphus back even more complicated. Sisyphus tries many tricks to keep from being taken to the Underworld, including an imposter and magic. Daphne, not wanting to live without Timeron, even thinks of taking her own life.

Hercules and Iolaus prevail over King Sisyphus in the end and Hercules persuades Hades to release Timeron's spirit to have his overdue wedding night with his Daphne, with the help of Hercules' borrowed body.
