    Magic, mystery, revenge and comedy mix together to produce this colorful legend of the greatest storyteller of the ancient Arabian world.  Scheherazade is called upon to use her tale-spinning talents to save her people from certain destruction.  Betrayed by his betrothed, the hot-tempered King Raynah decides to punish all the women in his kingdom.  Armed only with her wit and just a smattering of magic, Scheherazade recites her stories for the king himself.  Her enchanted tale transforms royal counselors into powerful genies and mutates the king into his own worst enemy:  a woman.  Will the king learn the errors of his ways? Will Scheherazade's plan work? Make plans now to come find out!"
