Battle of the Amazons
In an ancient civilization, a tribe of amazon women (lead by the towering Lucretia Love) keep men for mating purposes and as slaves, regarding their lives as worthless. The brave Zeno (Lincoln Tate) is seen making love to a woman, so the amazons torture the poor girl to death and capture him as a slave. Zeno manages to escape, and ends up in a peaceful farming community. The harmless community tries to reason with the amazons, but they kill their elder leader and pillage their tiny village, causing many casualties during the chaos. Valeria (Paola Tedesco) assumes authority since her father was the sacrificed leader, and she devises a plan of action against the amazons. She hires a trio of misfit, barbarous types to instruct her people how to fight so they can overpower their skillful antagonists. Valeria and Zeno fall in love but they most overcome the amazons in order to live in harmony.
