Prince Hyzem has been raised within the castle walls as a beggar. Hyzem does not know that he is the rightful heir to the throne which his villainous uncle occupies. Time comes, however, when the young beggar prince longs to go beyond the walls of the castle. The opportunity is given him one day by his uncle's minister, who, not recognizing him, offers to take him on an expedition to the capital of one of the neighboring states. This state is governed by Jahan. The Uncle, his own country in a weakened condition through debauches, is anxious to enlist the aid of Jahan to protect it from the hillsmen. At the palace of Rajah Jahan, the Minister is humiliated and ordered away. Hyzem, wandering through the courtyard, meets the Princess, Jahan's daughter; it means love for both. On returning to Jahan's palace, the party is attacked by hillsmen and completely wiped out, with the exception of Hyzem. He escapes and returns, only to be made prisoner by his uncle for leaving the palace. Later, the sister of the hillsmen's chief is captured. The uncle seeks to make her a part of his harem, but is repulsed. In a drunken debauch the uncle sends for his nephew, Hyzem, and offers him the girl. The girl stabs the uncle, and with the aid of Hyzem, escapes. In the mountains Hyzem is received as a brother. He thinks of his Princess and makes his way to her palace. It is the evening of the Princess's betrothal to Borla. Hyzem is captured and held as a thief; he refuses to state his mission. Hyzem is assisted to escape by the Princess, and she, in turn is captured by the hillsmen. It is in the hills that the beggar prince meets her again, and she accepts his love. However, she informs him that he is the rightful possessor of the throne which his Uncle now occupies and urges him to return and fight for it. This Hyzem does; he meets with little resistance, and in the end we have him married to the pretty Princess, with the consent and blessings of her father.
