A Fistful of Dinars

Xena finds one of her friends being attacked and chases his attacker while Gabrielle attends to his wounds. Xena recovers a purse stolen from her friend but is then challenged by another attacker, at which point she removes a parchment map from the purse and after memorising it eats it. It turns out that it is one of four clues to the location of the buried treasure of the Sumarian Empire. She soon teams up with an assassin and a warlord and they set off to find the treasure. Xena informs Gabrielle that buried along with the treasure is some ambrosia - the food of the gods - which will turn any mortal who eats it into a god.

No Ambrosia was spilled, spoiled, or in any way harmed during the production of this motion picture. (Thanks to the indefinite shelf life of marshmallows.)

Warrior...Princess

Xena visits a palace and is somewhat surprised when all the guards stand down. She meets with the King and he explains that she is the splitting image of his daughter. The problem for the King is that some group is trying to kill his daughter before she can marry the princeling from a neighboring state. At first Xena is unimpressed until she hears that the marriage will bring the end of slavery in the neighboring state, at which point she agrees to help. Xena meets the Princess, Diana, and there is indeed a striking similarity. However for Xena to take her place, Diana must take Xena's place, and rides out of town on Xena's horse to meet Gabrielle. All too soon Xena is having to content with multiple attempts on her life as she posses as Diana, and she begins to have the disquieting fear that the assassins are working for someone within the court.
