Что делать, если твоя страна переполнена крепкими и весьма буйными мужчинами, а женщин катастрофически не хватает? А вот в соседних краях, у сабинов, прекрасного пола явный избыток. Может быть, просто похитить нужное количество? Но как?
Правитель Рима, отважный и благородный Ромул, разработал простой и быстрый план снабжения женщинами своих подданных - необходимо устроить у стен Рима Олимпийские игры и пригласить всех жителей окрестных земель. Сказано - сделано, и вот уже толпы стекаются полюбоваться статными римскими парнями, а среди них - множество юных и симпатичных девушек. И как же хороши эти сабинянки! Итак, вперед, римляне - просто выбирай и разноси по домам!
