After a fierce battle to defend the city of Oroscopa from Massinissa’s army, Hiram, a Carthaginian leader, is wounded and rescued, then nursed back to health by the young Roman woman Fulvia, who quickly falls in love with him.
With Carthage under threat from Rome, the Carthaginian Council, acting on Massinissa’s orders, sentences him to exile. Carthage teeters on the edge of collapse, and Hiram is forced to return in secret, intent on taking away with him the woman he loves, Ophir, the daughter of Hermon, the head of the Council. Ophir is also in love with him, though her father has arranged a marriage to Tsour, a young Carthaginian she has known since childhood.
