Plot

Shah is the king of a Sultanate in Middle-Eastern Asia. When a bandit tribe leader, Razoulli Al-Jabber Al-Nasser, attacks their region, the Sultanate's army, led by Lieutenant Khalid, fights back and defeats the enemy. Razoulli escapes, but not before abducting Khalid's pregnant wife. She 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 this Sultanat (Sultanate). 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 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 King Shah, is on a cavalcade, Sultan dares to look into her eyes. When she commands him to bow, he refuses and instead kisses 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. Sultan escapes and abducts Yasmeen. After a series of clashes, they fall madly in love.

Soon after, General Khalid kills Razoulli, and Razoulli's wife loses her mind. Sultan, unaware of his true parentage, swears to avenge his "father's" death and learns that Khalid is responsible. He finds out that Khalid’s son, Samir, and his fiancée, Zarina, are arriving soon and plans to abduct them. Khalid learns of Sultan’s plan and decides to kill him. When Samir and Zarina arrive, Sultan overpowers them, but they manage to escape when Khalid comes to their rescue. However, Khalid is captured by Sultan's men.

The two men agree to a duel to the death. Khalid is unaware that Sultan is his long-lost son, the one he was told had died so many years ago. It seems now that this father-son duel will only end when one of them is killed by the other.
