The Lustful Amazons
Pindar, who escaped from the Amazon with Ela's help, asks Maciste for help stealing the Amazons' treasure. Maciste agrees out of a sense of adventure rather than greed. Upon their arrival in the Amazon, they are captured. Maciste is sentenced to impregnate the Amazons, while Pindar and Ela are imprisoned. Queen Arminda falls in love with Maciste, arousing the jealousy of her favorite, Yuka. Yuka plots to make the queen believe Maciste is carrying a venereal disease, but it fails. Out of frustration, Yuka frees Ela and Pindar and helps them steal the treasure, hidden in a werewolf's lair. Maciste intervenes but is unable to save his companions' lives. Embittered, he leaves the Amazon kingdom alone.
