Adventure film in an exotic setting based on the “Indian Tomb”: While visiting a circus in Germany, the Indian maharajah Gowan sees the rider Yrida, who comes from Swedish nobility. The maharajah falls in love with the circus rider and quickly sends the entire circus to Ceylon, where he courts Yrida. But Yrida loves someone else: the student Gowaran, who she does not know is the maharajah's son. In order to get Yrida completely under his control, the maharaja has her drugged and abducted to his castle in India.
