Long ago, the Sultan Said has gone mad after his traumatizing near assassination in which his wife collaborated and died at his hands as a result. Now he has a paranoid suspicion of women which he plans to express in a diabolical plan to marry a woman from the harem and then have her executed the very next morning. To prevent this, the Grand Visor's daughter and a childhood friend of the Sultan, Scheherazade, offers herself to be that bride. Now, she must gamble that her plan will work as she tries to cure his madness by telling him story after wonderous story which include the tales of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp. All the while, the Sultan's villainous brother is making plans of his own and Scheherazade's stories are more useful against him than anyone can anticipate.
