In the land of 1001 nights the law dictates that the Emperor must take a new wife if his current Empress does not bear a son within seven years of marriage. On the night of their sixth wedding anniversary, the Emperor receives a visit from the Chamberlain, his loyal servant and confidant, and the two men begin the covert operation to find and prepare a virgin candidate who might become the new Emperor's Wife.
The young candidate, Sabah, is secretly transported into an isolated wing of the Imperial Palace. In this prison of fairytale rooms furnished with Imperial gifts, Sabah is tutored by the Imperial Masters and spied upon through periscopes in secret corridors by the Emperor. If the current Empress conceives a child within the next year, everyone in this secret wing must be executed.
Sabah's violent protests nearly sabotage the entire operation. The Chamberlain, falling in love with Sabah, enters the secret wing to win her affection. Quite a sacrifice, in order to safeguard Sabah's virginity, any man entering the secret wing must become a eunuch!
The Chamberlain convinces Sabah to accept her upcoming role as the new Empress, but she remains extremely unhappy, longing for her boyfriend left behind. Demonstrating his love and shift of loyalty, the Chamberlain sends for the boy. The young lovers spend one night together which proves to be sufficient for Sabah to become pregnant!
Meanwhile, in the main wing of the palace, the present Empress' suspicion leads her to discover the secret wing. The Chamberlain and Sabah try and flee, but get caught by the Imperial Guards. The Chamberlain awaits his court martial not knowing whether Sabah and the child inside her have survived. Many months pass. On the day of his execution, his death sentence is changed...
