Maciste Triumphs finds him in ancient Egypt which was more ancient than ancient Greece where these muscle dudes usually operate. It seems as though an evil queen has triumphed over the rightful heir to the throne of Memphis and is keeping her subjects in line with sacrifices to a fire God aka volcano and some black magic tricks of her own.
In fact when her soldiers capture Kirk Morris as Maciste she doesn't want him killed, but simply to serve as her slave in all kinds of capacities. One look at him and who could blame the lady, but even her allies think she's behaving badly.
When Maciste has to confront the volcano to save his true blue girl friend he has to deal with some creatures that look like they escaped from Dr. Moreau's island. That's the highlight of the film because it sure isn't an original peplum plot.
