About the show

During the siege of Granada, Issachar, magician to King Boabdil, betrays him in hopes of gaining freedom for his people under Spanish rule. His daughter Leila loves the Moorish general Adèl-Muza. The Inquisition sentences Issachar to the stake, but he escapes by burning the Spanish camp. Leila is taken to Ferdinand and Isabella, who try to convert her. At her baptism Issachar appears and stabs her; Adèl-Muza reveals himself, and both men are sentenced to the stake.
