Synopsis
The student Omar loves and secretly marries Shireen, but she is taken away by the Shah of Shahs to join his household. For spurning the shah, Shireen is thrown into a dungeon, then sold into slavery when her child is born. Years pass: Omar's boyhood friends, Nizam and Hassan, have become grand vizier and governor, respectively, and Omar has brought up Little Shireen, whom he believes to be the daughter of the shah. When Omar is arrested and tortured for sheltering a Christain crusader, Nizam frees Omar, punishes Hassan for ordering the torture, and reunites Shireen with Omar and their daughter.
