A cold-blooded Sultan (Scott) enacts a declaration to avenge his unfaithful wife by beheading the women of his empire.

She tantalizes the Sultan with courageous tales of magical heroes--such as Aladdin and Ali Baba--for 1,001 nights. An action-packed adventure filled with dazzling special effects from the producers of the hit television mini-series MERLIN.
