A beautiful woman named Iole shows up and tells Hercules her town is being destroyed by a hole in the ground. Nessus the centaur convinces Deianeira that Iole is trying to steal Hercules from her, but then when she won't love him he tries to hurt her. Hercules kills him and Deianeira takes a cloak with the blood of Nessus and gives it to Hercules. Nessus had told her the cloak would make Hercules stay loyal to her. Hercules puts it on as he is in the town and it drives him insane and he jumps into the hole which leads to the Underworld. While there he finds all the people he has killed in the past, as well as Deianeira, who jumped off a cliff upon hearing that Hercules had gone insane and killed himself. Hercules talks to Hades about letting her live and strikes a deal; if he can capture Cerberus who has gotten loose in the underworld, Hades will allow his wife to leave the underworld with him.
