Synopsis:

More than a millennium ago… a sultan, bewitched by a magic sword, decrees that he will marry a new bride every evening and chop off her head the next morning.  To save her neck, the clever Scheherazade begins telling her husband a tale each night that is never quite completed by the morning – thus postponing her execution.  Scheherazade keeps up the stories for 1001 nights, finally freeing her husband from the evil spell
