There is only one minister "Jaffar" who secretly opposes him and plotting with a mamlook called Nor El Din. Prince Sharkas orders Aybak to collect extra Taxes from the arms market, which leads the people to rebel, but this leads to the slaughter of many innocent people including Ahmad's mother in his wedding night. Ahmad "Omar Shariff" seeks revenge from Sharkas and his men. He disguise himself and joins Sharkas' guards and becomes very close to him. Meanwhile Jaffar expects a letter that tells the time of the attack on Sharkas men by the rebels. The letter falls in the hans of Ahmad which keeps it with his fiancé "Amar". Sharkas knows about the letter and tries to find it by taking Amar to his harem and torturing her. Ahamd goes to his people and leads them to another rebellion».
