Melik, a powerful magistrate, is betrothed to Fatima, a beautiful girl, living in a distant land. He orders Omar, his foster brother, to go to the distant home and bring her back with him. On the return journey Fatima becomes strongly infatuated with the handsome Omar. But, although he returns her admiration, he is faithful to his trust and delivers her safely to his superior. Omar sorrowfully confides his hopeless love to his mother, who in turn informs Fatima, much to her happiness. As time passes Melik attempts to win Fatima's love with unfailing attentions and costly gifts, but finding that she will never return his affection, he generously relinquishes Fatima to the man of her choice.
