In Arabia, an arranged marriage forces Princess Scheherazade to marry Prince Murad, a cruel ruler. A thief known as the Desert Hawk hears about the wedding and disguises himself as Murad in order to steal the wedding gifts. The next morning, the real Murad appears and, finding the dowry missing, orders his men to create the appearance that the Desert Hawk has massacred the locals.
When the princess learns that she has been tricked, she changes clothes with one of her maids, who is then mistaken for the princess and murdered. The servants, along with the disguised princess, are sold into slavery. The Desert Hawk purchases the princess at the slave market.
Murad, in a bid to consolidate his power, causes trouble by telling the princess's father that a neighbor has been aiding the Desert Hawk.
The princess' father entrusts Murad to avenge his daughter and murdered people, enabling him to pursue the Desert Hawk to try to acquire the princess and power for himself.
