The story tells of Prometheus when he is chained to a rock and about to have his liver ripped out by the Fury, but instead he is freed by the hero Hercules.

He grabs the Fury, breaks its neck and runs away after he has been freed from the mountain he was chained to, by his cousin Zeus, the Greek god of lightning and ruler of the sky.

He lands in Eden City and is helped by Uncle Edward and young Jim, a pair of robbers.

When Prometheus came, he was strong so he could help the robbers carry the coffin which they put the stolen goods in.

They are successful but Mayor Walter Tweed catches them and demands to get 1/3 of the stolen riches.
