Dee is acting in a television commercial when the ancient Greek hero Achilles suddenly appears, believing that she's Helen of Troy. Starman fights him off and Dee changes into costume to help. In spite of Achilles' fabled invulnerability, Starman's energy powers give him the upper hand but Achilles prays to his patroness Hera, who provides him with a suit of armor that evens the odds.
