The Stooges work at Dimsal's Drug Store in Ithaca, New York, where they befriend their eccentric next door neighbour Schuyler Davis (Quinn Redeker), who is attempting to build a time machine. With the boys' "help", the machine transports the boys, Schuyler and disaffected girlfriend Diane Quigley (Vicki Trickett) back in time to Ithaca in ancient Greece during the reign of the lecherous King Odius (George N. Neise). The King, after defeating and imprisoning Odysseus because the Stooges are believed to be gods, has a yearning for Diane. Realizing they have disrupted the proper course of history, Schuyler and the boys free Ulysses, after which Odius banishes them to the galley slave. However the constant rowing causes Schuyler to become extremely muscular and superhumanly strong, equal to Hercules.
