So the Arab Princess "Hara"(Susan Kohner) is a favourite of King "Zendi" (Mark Dana) because the king has a fondness for her mother. It turns out that both were betrayed by the Tetrarch of Galilee (Herbert Lom) many years earlier, and that all have sworn vengeance of this man. When her badly wronged mother dies, the Princess decides to cut her black locks and don the guise of a lad so as to fulfil her newly taken murderous vow.
