The friendly Lotus Eaters celebrate the arrival of their honored guests by giving Ulysses, Dates and Nisa a gift of their favorite lotus flowers. Poseidon immediately uses the chance to poison them, trapping them in the world of dreams - forever. The other crew members must convince the Lotus Eaters that their friends are not insulting them by falling helplessly asleep but it's to no avail - no one can wake them and Ulysses, Nisa and Dates are in extreme danger. While living in their dreams they are oblivious to the dangers they are facing in reality - in fact they are about to be sacrificed!
