What happens

Hercules in the Underworld is the fourth television movie in the syndicated fantasy series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. In the film, Hercules is finally a happy family man with his wife Deianeira, two young sons Aeson and Clonus, daughter Ilea and in-living centaur Nessus. When villagers begin disappearing it is discovered that they had fallen through a crack in the earth which goes straight to Hades. Hercules once again comes to the rescue and faces one of his most difficult challenges, and must prove himself as a man as well as a god. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
