In old Baghdad, an impoverished poet, who has usurped the customary prime “begging spot” of the Mecca-bound Hajj the Beggar, is abducted and brought to the desert tent of Jawan, a notorious elderly brigand. The Poet has been mistaken for Hajj the Beggar, who cursed Jawan fifteen years ago. As a result of the curse, Jawan's beloved young son was kidnapped, and Jawan longs to find his son before he dies.
