Plot
Ibrahim is a despot with ambitions he wants to bring peace to the kingdom of Kamal, even if it is by assassinating all his opponents. With the help of his less than trustworthy subordinate Selim, he manages to ensure that nobody even dares to utter any objections; nor the rightful ruler, Sultan Omar, or his son Prince Said. However, the latter plans a plot against Ibrahim. In order to raise the necessary money, Said and his men raid caravans. During one such raid, he meets Princess Amina, the despot's daughter, who pretends to be a dancer. Amina falls in love with him, which poses problems for her father, who has promised her in marriage to Selim. Said and his people succeed in ousting Ibrahim from the throne and happily ends with Amina.
