Plot Summary
In a mythical, medieval North Africa (looking a lot like California)
a Bedouin chief named Tamerlane is seeking to capture the magnificent wild stallion Shazada
when he meets tomboyish Princess Tanya of Tunis.
When the two meet again in Tunis, Tamerlane has run afoul
of the barbaric Corsair Lords, one of whom Tanya's wicked cousin is forcing her to marry.
To avoid this dire fate, Tanya must arrange for a "dark horse" to win the forthcoming great
race...which means a battle of wits between Tanya and Tamerlane,
taking romantic overtones.
