Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this Biblical epic, a brave Chaldean rebel takes on his evil nemesis, a cruel Assyrian king. En route to his fateful meeting, the rebel hides in the humble hut of a luscious peasant girl. She is found by the king's passing troops; when the king sees the lass he is immediately smitten and makes her a part of his court. Unfortunately, when the king is suddenly poisoned, she is blamed. Later it is revealed that the real killer is the king's corrupt advisor who wants the kingdom for himself. Meanwhile, the rebel continues to fight his way to the palace so he can liberate the people and save the girl.
