The king ordered his Vizir to put her to death and to bring him a new wife every day.

Then the following morning he would strangle her. The Vizir's daughter Scheherazade asks her father to present her to the king and begins enchanting him with a series of stories. But can Scheherazade save the women of Persia from their fate?
