Produced by and starring Indian fiIm Iegend Himansu Rai, the film is performed by an aII-lndian cast, featuring Rai as humbIe potter Shiraz, who foIlows his chiIdhood sweetheart Selima (Enakshi Rama Rau) when she's sold by slave traders to the future emperor (Charu Roy).

She is abducted and sold as a sIave to Prince Khurram, Iater Emperor Shah Jehan (Roy), who falls for her, to the chagrin of the wiIy Dalia (Seeta Devi). When SeIima is caught with Shiraz, the young man is condemned to be trampled to death by an elephant. A pendant reveaIs Selima's royal status and she saves her brother, marries the prince and becomes Empress Mumtaz MahaI while DaIia is banned for her machinations against SeIima.
