"Hercules and the Golden Touch" is the thirty-first episode of Hercules that first aired on November 12, 1998.
Plot[]
A James Bond parody. Hercules meets Epsilon, an agent who wants to bring down King Midas, a greedy king whose touch turns everything into gold. Hercules investigates as a secret agent and learns that Midas wants Hermes' sandals to transform the whole world. Hermes is forced to give up his sandals, and Hercules frees them, going after Midas with the help of Princess Marigold, Midas's daughter. After being foiled in a James Bond-manner by Hercules, Midas ends up seeing a very negative side to his power: he accidentally turns his own daughter into a golden statue. Hercules and the king appeal to Bacchus, the god who gave Midas his golden touch, to remove it and turn things back to normal. He does so, and Hermes' sandals are returned.
