A walled city built around an everflowing river in the desert is impregnable until the king's invulnerable son, Kindar, is taken hostage and raised by the ambitious Seymuth (Mimmo Palmara). He says that the desert gives nothing but what one takes. He is obsessed with the idea of taking over the city and keeping it for himself. He comes so close after deceiving Kindar by turning him into a warrior at the age of 20. However, Kindar (Mark Forest) falls in love with his slave, Kira (Rosalba Neri), who turns out to be his real brother's fiance - who then comes to rescue her, which leads to a fight in which Kindar is mysteriously halted and finds himself unable to go through with the act of killing his opponent.
When Kindar then sneaks behind the city walls to retrieve his lost love she explains that he must be the one prophesied in ancient times. The Sultan's son, born of lightning from the god Horus, destined to successfully defend his people from any threat. He was believed to be born invulnerable to all scourges save the 'red flower' and tested with daggers during infancy to make that the priest's claim was true. The evil bandit is turned away just when he expects his fake son to ram the city gates for him and his men to charge through. A battle ensues and the desert bandit is wounded. He is then struck by the revelation that the red flower symbolises fire. Fortunately, once he has rescued the love of his life, Kindar is saved by his brother Siro (Howard Ross). While all of this is going on, Kindar, luckily, is assisted by a submissive admirer named Nefer (Dea Flowers). And Kidar does actually fulfil the prophecy by becoming Utor's champion.
