In ancient Greece, two sons are born to a noble Spartan family. One is strong and healthy, the other lame and feeble. Spartan law decrees that the crippled baby must be killed and his father abandons him to the wolves of Mount Taygetus. But the child is saved by a Helot - the once proud-race now enslaved by Sparta.
