Summary: Classic Parsee theatre-derived Oriental fantasy.
The heir to the Yemeni throne, Prince Parviz
(Karimja), is falsely imprisoned by his
stepmother (Mohini) who claims power. Parviz
receives a magic dagger from a mystic Sufi fakir
(Mohammed) to liberate himself and his
people. The dagger makes him invisible. He
kills the Apeman (Shroff) and the genii (Khan),
rescues the captive Princess Parizad (Padma)
and, finally, overwhelms the soldiers sent to
recapture him. The king (Khambatta) learns the
truth and repents. Lalarukh (Kamala), Parviz'
wife who dresses in male clothes to rescue her
husband, sacrifices her life so that he may
marry the princess.
