The Adventures of Sinbad


Ali Rashid and the Thieves

Logline: Returning to his homeland, Rongar confronts the man who robbed him of his birthright and is reunited with his sister who had betrayed him years before.

Synopsis:

Sinbad and crew are attacked by thieves while delivering cargo. Ali Rashid, ruler of Bollnah, rides to their aid. Once the thieves have been dispatched, Rongar attacks Ali Rashid. The prince orders the crew from his kingdom or he will execute Rongar, a known thief in the land.

The crew returns to the ship but Rongar sails the ship back to shore at night. Sinbad goes to Ali Rashid's palace and asks permission to search for Rongar. Rashid gives him one day and orders his concubine, Shirez, to take Sinbad to the seer Zorah.

Zorah sends Sinbad and crew into the mountains after Rongar. They lose all trace of him at base of a cliff. From behind a magical barrier Ali Rashid holds Rongar captive and mocks the crew. While the crew continues to search, Sinbad returns to Zorah. She tells Sinbad that Rongar was once prince of the land before Ali Rashid usurped power. Zorah is Rongar's sister and it was her betrayal that led to Rongar's tongue being cut out. Ali Rashid has a magical blade that none can oppose. And Rongar is in danger.

The crew is captured by Ali Rashid. Following Zorah's directions, Sinbad finds the entrance to the cavern and rescues Rongar. They set out to save the others. With the help of Shirez, Sinbad and Rongar find the captive crew. Ali Rashid attacks and only Bryn's and Zorah's combined magic overcome his blade. Ali Rashid is defeated by Rongar and Zorah assumes the throne.
