Milo tries to kill both Hercules and Ate by chaining them to a giant wooden lever with spikes, complete with a cage over Hercules which he must support while rocks are piled on him if he can hold it up, then he will prove himself the true Hercules which he is but if not, then he will be guilty and he and Ate will die together for conspiring to steal the throne and give it to an imposter.As the weight of the stones and rocks drive the depowered Hercules to his knees, he sincerely begs his father Jove to let him die if it is his destiny but to spare Ate who is innocent. Jove resolves this by restoring Herculess demigod strength, allowing him to overpower the soldiers, save Ate, and thwart Milo along with his seven golden giants and evil mother.
