Another tragic love story - an affair between the second in line to Britain's throne and the princess of
the feuding Irish spells doom for the young lovers.
In the Dark Ages, after the fall of the Roman Empire, weak Britain is divided into several clans, while
the powerful Ireland, untouched by the Romans, dominates and ravages the British tribes.
The just and noble British leader, Marke, meets with the other clan chiefs to try to unite the country,
but they are attacked and slaughtered by the Irish army headed by Morholt. Marke loses one hand protecting
the young Tristan, who had just lost his parents, and Marke raises the boy as if he were of his blood.
Years later, after another attack by the Irish forces, Tristan rescues his people, who had been captured
to serve as slaves, and kills the brutal Morholt, to whom the beautiful Irish princess, Isolde, had been
promised in marriage.
