Returning from the Trojan War, Greek hero Menelaus is shipwrecked and meets a mysterious, beautiful woman who claims to be his wife, Helen, captured by the Trojans, seduced by Paris, and the reason why he and the other Greek chiefs have waged their bloody war against the city of Troy. But is this seductress the real Helen of Troy or has Menelaus been tricked by war-hungry gods? Could this islander be another woman altogether: the real and entirely innocent Helen? Love unites them and they're forced to concoct an ingenious series of schemes in order to escape from a ruthless and lustful king who is also hoping to make the mysterious woman his wife.T128181879Running time: 1 hr 15 minsProducer The Steam Industry.
