Synopsis
Following the death of her mother in England, Claire Sherlock travels to India to become the ward of her aunt. Soon after marrying a British officer, Claire comes to the attention of Ram Singh, the Rajah of Mawar, and when she refuses his advances, he uses his hypnotic power to make her love him. Her husband leaves her because of her obsession with Ram Singh, after which she becomes a member of the rajah's harem. The rajah's brutality makes her decide to escape, and while she hides out with her sister-in-law and fights the power of the rajah's spell, Ram Singh is killed as he leads an unsuccessful coup against the royal governor. Then, with the hypnotic spell broken because of the rajah's death, Claire is quickly reconciled with her husband.
