When  Sultan Said discovers his wife locked in a passionate embrace with his only  brother,   he   flings   his   sword   at   the   prince   and

ghost, the maniacal and cowardly sultan must marry another to  save
his kingdom, but to avoid future matrimonial disgrace he plans to have her  executed  the  morning  after  the  wedding.  Fortunately  for him,
Scheherezade, the grand vicar's daughter  played  by  the  lovely  Mili
Avital,  jumps at the challenge and the chance to marry her childhood
love. A master storyteller, the newly crowned sultana  escapes  death
