Plot

While Fürbringer, Emil Sperling and his wife Lotte Sperling continue to work on the Maharaja's construction projects in India, Prince Ramigani manages to track down Sitha in a second-rate variety show in Bombay. Sitha has managed to contact Irene Traven, but is kidnapped by Prince Ramigani before she can talk to Irene. As the Maharaja travels to Eschnapur with his entourage and shows Irene his country, Ramigani conspires with other nobles to instigate a revolt to make himself the new Maharaja. Sitha is taken to a remote and heavily guarded mountain castle, but her servant Myrrha facilitates a meeting with Irene. When Irene asks the Maharaja for mercy for Sitha, the latter refuses. Ramigani plans to kill the Maharaja during a festival and has Irene Traven and Fürbringer captured. Disguised as an Indian, Emil Sperling escapes capture and frees Fürbringer and Irene with the help of Sascha Demidoff. Ramigani forces Sitha to dance at the festival. When she approaches the Maharaja in her dance and warns of the attack by Ramigani, she is shot. The revolt that breaks out is suppressed. Ramigani tries to escape his just punishment but is killed. The Maharaja asks Fürbringer to stay to complete the tomb of Sitha.
