The Amazons soon go to meet a group of Greek soldiers led King Theseus of Athens for their annual mating ceremony. Since there are no men in the tribe, the Amazons hire men from another nation once a year for reproductive purposes an "unpleasant but necessary" ordeal which Antiope herself also dutifully participates in. Antiope also wants a return to a more egalitarian society, which doesn't sit well with Oreitheia and many of the other high Amazons, and she hatches various schemes to eliminate Antiope and take her place on the throne. The new ruler believes the tribe has gone soft and imposes a rigid discipline that allows sexual relations with men only once a year to procreate. In the final competition, man-hating Antiope defeats her longtime rival Oreitheia in a wrestling match and is crowned queen.

The film opens with the tribe holding a tournament of various physical contests to select a new queen. Set nearly three thousand years ago, the Amazons are a tribe of proud warrior women, who have seceded from the rest of the world, and set up a state purely composed of their own sex.
