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...
