Following the conquest of Babylon, the King of Persia gives a banquet for his people at which he requests the presence of his wife Vashti. As she refuses the king's command, Ahaseurus disowns Vashti and goes in search of her replacement. In his harem, he meets the young girl Esther who immediately captivates him with her charm and beauty. Unaware of her Jewish heritage, King Ahaseurus falls in love with Esther. Esther then reveals to Ahaseurus that she is Jewish and asks him to show her people mercy, because of a planned genocide of the Jews by the King's right-hand man, Haman. In doing so, she saves the lives of many innocent people and paves the way for their return to Jerusalem.
