In 1547 Fernando De Gama, a young "Soldier of Fortune" from Portugal,
set sail for the Orient in a bid to find the man that murdered his
father and, with luck, like many of his fellow countrymen,to make his
fortune. A vicious storm in the Indian ocean almost ended his plans when
the ship he was on sank. The sole survivor, he was washed up on a
tropical beach only to be captured by Arab slavers and taken to
Ayutthaya in the kingdom of Siam where he was offered for sale as a
slave. He is rescued from slavery when a beautiful young woman Maria,
also from Portugal, living in Ayutthaya with her father, buys him from
the Arabs and restores his freedom. Not suprisingly he falls for Maria
and Maria him, much to the chagrin of Maria's Father. As an experienced
soldier his services are soon in demand when the King of Siam declares
war on a Northern renegade pretender and all of the Portuguese colony
are press-ganged into the service of the King. Predictably, Fernando's
experience and gallantry in the heat of battle, gain favour with the
King who commands him to be one of his honoured personal Guard along
with a new found Thai friend of tremendous gallantry, Tong. Unbeknownst
to the king, his beautiful but devious wife, Queen Sudachan, plots to
kill him and place her lover on the throne. The first attempt by the
Queen to rid herself of the king fails and she enlists the services of
Phillippe, who it transpires was the murderer of Fernando's father. He
in turn organises another failed attempt on the Kings life. As trusted
guardians of the king, Fernando and Tong discover that Phillippe is
involved but is killed during an attempt to arrest him. They
subsequently discover that the perpetrator is the Queen but are to late
to save the king who has already succumbed to her poison. The blame for
the kings death is fostered upon Fernando and Tong who are arrested and
forced to fight each other to the death for the amusement of Queen
Sudachan and her lover, the new king.
