In "I Was a Modern Hercules," a man searching for a last-minute masquerade costume stumbles upon a mysterious lion skin in an antique shop—little knowing it’s no ordinary prop.

When a man needs a costume for a masquerade party but all the shops are closed, he finds a lion skin in an antique shop to use as a Hercules costume. But what he doesn't know is that the lion skin really did belong to Hercules, and that it grants the demi-god's strength to whoever wears it.
