Plot
Shah is the king of Sultanat-e-Amaaz, a Sultanat (Sultanate) in Middle-Eastern Asia. When a bandit tribe leader, Razoulli Al-Jabber Al-Nasser, attacks Amaaz, the Sultanat's army, led by Lieutenant Khalid, fights back and defeats the enemy. Razoulli escapes, but not before abducting Khalid's pregnant wife, Ayesha. Ayesha gives birth to a son but dies during childbirth. A midwife proclaims that the boy is blessed and destined to one day become the Sultan (King) of Amaaz. Hearing this, Razoulli, whose wife has been unable to give him a male heir, decides to keep the baby for himself. He tells Khalid that both his wife and child died, then names the boy Sultan and raises him as his own, teaching him all the skills of a warrior.
Meanwhile, Khalid remarries an American journalist, Jane, and has another son, Samir, who is sent abroad for his safety and education. Now a General, Khalid vows to kill Razoulli. Sultan grows up to be a powerful warrior and a capable leader of his people.
One day, while Princess Yasmeen, the beautiful daughter of the King Shah, is on a cavalcade, Sultan dares to look into her eyes. When she commands him to bow, he refuses and instead smooches her. In retaliation, Yasmeen has her troops capture him. She tortures him in the prison. To further punish him, she forces him to enter a death race being conducted by her cousin, Shah’s nephew, Shakkir. Sultan escapes and abducts Yasmeen. After a series of sensual clashes, they fall madly in love.
