In the spectacular tradition of the Sonar Entertainment classics Merlin & Arabian Nights comes a magically splendid adventure for everyone. Devil Boy (John Reardon, Merlin's Apprentice), abandoned at birth and rescued from the docks of Shanghai to grow into an adventurous young thief, steals to provide food for the street children he considers his family. Now the clever lad and his faithful companion Bird (Golden Globe nominee David Carradine, Kill Bill) have their eyes on swindling the royal court of its jewels. The best way to do it is by winning the hand of the Governor's daughter, Princess Li Wei (Desiree Siahaan, Marco Polo) with whom he is immediately & genuinely smitten. As luck would have it, she's being presented with potential suitors. There is formidable competition with the Prince of the North (Rupert Graves) who is the choice for the Governor. The Princess, secretly attracted to D.B., manages to convince her father to arrange challenges for all her suitors. The Princess sends along her companion, an accomplished sword master, Ting Ting (Theresa Lee, Stargate SG-1), disguised as a man to keep D.B. safe. What the Princess does not know is that Ting Ting comes from the same 'street' family as D.B., & that she is in love with him. Framed for attempting to poison the Princess, D.B. and Bird are condemned to death. In the last moment, a guilt-ridden Ting Ting helps D.B. break free from the dungeon, safeguard the royal family, and claim Li Wei's hand in marriage as his own. But it takes the faith of Bird, a magical flying carpet, and the mystical Fruit of Life for D.B. and Li Wei to see their dream to the end. Sonar Entertainment invites you on a wild ride like no other--filled with dazzling romance, stirring action, and breathtaking suspense.
