Record number: 4200 Title: Hercules: The Legendary Journeys Medium: TV Series Actress: Tracy Lindsey, Jennifer Ward-Lealand Description: Episode: "All That Glitters" (2.02) Hercules travels to renew his friendship with King Midas. He discovers that the King has let his love for money go to his head and has entered into a gambling house venture with the beautiful but evil Voluptua (Ward-Lealand). Among the events people wager on are boys walking walking a tightrope over a bed of spikes, brutal boxing matches, etc. Hercules' presence stirs a moral reaction in Midas. No longer willing to lend his name and cooperation to Voluptua's gambling establishment, he quits his post. In return, he is beaten senseless by Voluptua's chief thug and thrown into a cage. When Hercules finds him, Midas is bound and gagged with a crossbow aimed at his head and the trigger mechanism cocked and attached to a small wooden ball in his daughter Flaxen's (Lindsey) mouth. {Yes, very similiar to the scene in The Perils of Sweet Gwendolyne in the Land of Yik-Yak.} Flaxen's wrists are bound tightly behind her back. Voluptua offers Hercules a challenge -- in order to free Midas and Flaxen, he must defeat five adversaries, all before a burning fuse releases the crossbow's trigger. Good triumphs over evil, of course, and Flaxen grabs Voluptua when she tries to flee with a bag of gold. Flaxen crosses Voluptua's wrist behind her back and ties her hands with a scarf, when she starts to rip her dress for more cloth bindings, Hercules scolds her saying, "You promised never to take your clothes off in public again!" Spoilsport. The action starts around 40 minutes into the episode (including commercials) and goes on for the next 15 minutes. Most of the footage follows Hercules and his battle with the thugs, but there are numerous short clips of Flaxen, her bound wrists, the burning fuse, etc., interspersed. The scene of Flaxen binding Voluptua is more suggested than actually visible, but it still counts, IMHO. |
