The Battle Of Troy is not the actual title, but it's what the script is about. Our heroes go back in time to ancient Greece to stop the villain Xaviar from altering the battle of Troy and allowing the Trojans to win. Helen falls for either Troy or Dillon. In the end, they stop Xaviar, make sure the big horse gets through the gate, and rescue a teenage Homer.

The story pitch had been as follows: {{1980|Troy}} and [[Dillon]] go back in time to ancient Greece to stop the villain [[Xaviar]] from altering the [[w:battle of Troy|battle of Troy]] and allowing the [[w:Trojans|Trojans]] to win. [[w:Helen of Troy|Helen of Troy]] falls for either Troy or Dillon. In the end, they stop Xaviar, make sure [[w:Trojan Horse|the big horse]] gets through the gate, and rescue a teenage [[w:Homer|Homer]].  
As he looks up at our heroes, face full of wonder and worship, we see tears forming in his sweet, clear, blue eyes. And we realize, some day he will be tragically blinded.
