Arabian Nights.

The story starts at a harem in Persia, where the elderly overseer bids his young charges to read the story of Haroun al-Rashid and his wife Sherazade. In his infatuation with her, Kamar had attempted to seize the throne, but was captured and sentenced to slow death by exposure. Kamar's men storm the palace and free their leader; outnumbered, Haroun is forced to flee. He manages to get near the plaza where the circus is performing and is spotted by the young acrobat Ali Ben Ali.
