A cold-blooded Sultan (Scott) enacts a declaration to avenge his unfaithful wife by beheading the women of his empire. However, the beautiful and clever Scheherezade (Avital) is one woman with a plan to save the people of her beloved kingdom. She tantalizes the Sultan with courageous tales of magical heroes--such as Aladdin and Ali Baba--for 1,001 nights. (official distributor synopsis)
