Hassan, the Kadi of Bagdad, has a harem housing 12 beauties, but concentrates his attention on Zohara. A newcomer, Kyra, introduces rebellion into the harem by the unheard of act of complaining to the Caliph about the lot of the women in the harem. Hassan suffers a greater shock when his God-son, Ezar, asserts that women are the equal of men. They make a wager under which Ezar must settle down with a conventional harem unless Zohara can outwit Hassan within ten days. (imdb)
