Hercules is walking through a snowy mountain top where he finds a woman in the cold and goes to help her.

The next day Hercules and young man are walking through a cave with dead bodies strewn all over.

Hercules sees she is chained up, and is hit over the head by the man, who is actually a warlock.

Hercules kicks down the door, Hera's priest fight him, he beats them, and lights the torch.

Hercules knows that humans cannot survive without fire, and if he does not get the Torch back all life will die.

They find Prometheus frozen, he says that Hera has stolen the Eternal Torch and that Hercules must get it back.

As they camp for the night, Hercules reveals to Deianeira that he was the one who accidentally inflicted Chiron's wound.

Not trusting her now, they take the left fork and arrive at a point where Hera has removed the bridge to the gorge they're trying to cross.

Hercules walks through the snowy mountain top of Mount Ethion, just like in his dream.

Hercules goes through the fire and retrieves the Torch, he throws it and it lands in Prometheus's home waking him.

Hercules takes the torch to Chiron's house and asks him to step inside a circle of straw.

Chiron stands in the center of the circle and Hercules lights the straw with the torch.

The basic plot concept of Prometheus being captured, is similar to the first season Xena: Warrior Princess episode "Prometheus", although in that episode mankind is robbed of the gift of healing not fire.
