As the episode begins, we find Hercules and his pal, Icarus, hanging out in the village of Attica. Their peaceful day is disrupted when a woman named Psyche enters the scene. She catches Hercules' eye immediately and he is smitten with her beauty. Psyche is searching for someone to rescue her kingdom from a powerful monster, and she believes Hercules is the man for the job.
Despite Icarus' protests, Hercules agrees to help Psyche. As they journey towards her kingdom, Hercules can't help but be captivated by her charm and beauty. Icarus warns Hercules that he is becoming jealous of anyone Psyche talks to, but Hercules brushes it off and continues his mission.
Upon arriving at the kingdom, the group realizes that the monster is not actually a creature, but rather a giant machine that is destroying everything in its path. Hercules gets to work trying to stop the machine, but his jealousy towards anyone who talks to Psyche only intensifies.
As the situation becomes more dire, Psyche tries to disarm the machine herself, but she is trapped inside. Hercules, realizing his emotions have been clouding his judgment, springs into action to save Psyche and take down the machine. With Icarus' help, they are able to stop the machine and save the kingdom.
After the dust has settled, Hercules apologizes to Psyche and admits that his jealousy almost cost them the mission. Psyche forgives him, and the two part ways, with Hercules learning an important lesson about controlling his emotions.
