The plot bears similarities to
Jacques Fromental Halévy's opera La
Juive.
The story revolves around the life of a foster relationship. Set in the era of the
Roman Empire over
2000 years ago, it centres around the
point of persecution of
Jews at the time in the empires centre -
Rome.
Ezra (Sohrab Modi) is a jeweler who has a son called
Elijah. He also has a friendly butler/child minder called
Emmanuel. In the beginning, Ezra is due to leave. As he does, Elijah becomes upset and stands at the balcony. In the roads of the
Jewish area,
Brutus (Nazir Hussain),
Governor of Rome, is passing, making an announcement.
Watching over the balcony, is Elijah. A stone slips from his hand and hits Brutus on the head. Brutus immediately gets Elijah arrested, and as Elijah is a Jew, sentences him to death.
Hearing this, Ezra rapidly returns from his trip and arrives at the doorstep of Brutus. He begs Brutus to free Elijah but Brutus feeds Elijah to hungry lions. Ezra sadly returns to his house. In revenge, Emmanuel kidnaps
Lydia, motherless daughter of Brutus, and takes her to Ezra. Ezra declines to kill Lydia and adopts the child.
Brutus' anger brews. He orders the guards to find his daughter, and calles a punishment onto all Jews. Ezra remains hidden and raises Lydia, who grows up thinking she is Ezra's daughter and that her name is
Hannah.
Years pass and Ezra grows to become a successful jeweler, well known to be so good and a Jew. Hannah (Meena Kumari) grows into a beautiful young lady and attracts attention from many.
The Emperor of Rome arrives in Rome for the marriage of his son
Prince Marcus (Dilip Kumar) to Brutus' niece
Princess Octivia (Nigar Sultana).
However, Prince Marcus avoids talking about his marriage and opposes it. One day, when returning from a hunting trip, he gets hurt and is cared for by Hannah. He then disguises as a Jew and goes back into the Jewish area. He saves Hannah from a
Roman soldier and meets her father, Ezra, not as Prince Marcus but as Monshija, a successful Jew from
Alexandria. Ezra is happy to meet him and 'Monshija' and Hannah fall in love.
But Hannah soon notices that something isn't right. Prince Marcus then reveals who he is, making Hannah very upset who banishes the Prince from her life.
