Saad enters a city and is chosen as the ruler of the city, and Saeed finds some gold coins on his way, which a woman (Parvin Malakuti) and her maid steal from him. He finds a magic hat and wand. While hunting, Saad meets Mahtab (Marjan), the daughter of another emir; But Amir (Sadegh Bahrami) with the conspiracy of his minister (Mirzadeh) separates Mahtab from Saad and locks him in his room.

Saad goes to Mahtab and is arrested and tortured. Saeed saves his brother before he is beheaded by the executioner and finally gets Amir’s consent for his brother to marry Mahtab.
