His wife wants to turn it into a modern luxurious mansion but he has other more ambitious plans for it.

A triumphant Candoo declares that he is divine, certain he can will he will not die.

After being warned that his arrogance off ends the Greek gods who will destroy him fo his hubris, Candoo is confronted by Zeus. It is the American master of the universe versus the king of the Greek gods.
