Overview

The film tells the story of conjoined twin brothers who want to avenge their father. The Byzantine governor makes a deal with the Russian tsar to avoid paying taxes to the Turks. Led by Zalim, the Russians attack the city of Amuryon. While the Russians are attacking the city, a Turkish warrior named Kafkaslı Mahmut has two sons. Although the Russians kill Mahmut, the twins are saved. Mahmut's servant Ömer sends one of the children, Cafer, to Samarkand to be under the protection of Uluğ Bey. He takes Cafer's brother, Ali, under his wing. When Cafer and Ali reach adulthood, they will take action to avenge their father's death.
