Scheherazade tells the story of Meshkah, Rima, King Safwan, and his son, Prince Wardan, whom he wants to marry off, and the latter decides to wed the princess who lives in the palace that suddenly appeared in front of King Safwan's palace. Everyone goes to see it when servant Morgan alerts Safwan.

As Safwan asks Morgan to know more about the palace, he replies that it has no gatekeeper and has an orchard full of out-of-season fruits. When the minister asks Morgan to knock on the door and ask for grapes, the princess gives him a golden basket full of grapes, which he presents to King Safwan.

As Morgan spies on who is inside the palace, he returns and tells them that he saw the princess and her maidservant sing at night. Wardan tries to talk to the princess but in vain. Later, Safwan and the minister disguise themselves as foreign merchants to go to the palace and they knock on the door.

When Safwan and the minister enter the princess’s palace, she agrees to host them in exchange for not interfering in what does not concern them, and they request to listen to songs. Once they ask the princess why she, Karima, and Halima are sad, she asks them to leave.

After the king summons the princess, she tells him that they are the 3 orphaned daughters of the poor Kaab El Ghazal, and their lives changed after their mother's death and the appearance of the hired mourner and shroud seller Rima, whose husband is Meshkah, whom Rima divorces.

Rima tells Meshkah that she has divorced him to marry Kaab El Ghazal to seize his house and the treasure in it, and she decides to deceive his daughters Fatima, Karima, and Halima in order to marry their father.

Kaab El Ghazal falls into Rima's ambush after he sees that she cares about his daughters and asks her to sleep over with them. Suddenly, Morgan informs Safwan that the princess's palace disappeared, and the princess brings it back with a movement of her hands.

When Rima asks Kaab El Ghazal to marry her because people are talking about them, they marry after the approval of his daughters.

Rima is still in a relationship with Meshkah. As people flock to Kaab El Ghazal to buy his house because of the treasure rumors, he tells Rima that the dervish Abu Farag told his father that the house has a treasure from the era of Korah, and whoever does not intend to search for it will find it.

As Kaab El Ghazal refuses to sell the house or search for the treasure, Rima decides to kill him with poison and asks Meshkah to help her, and she poisons him.

When Kaab El Ghazal dies, Rima begins abusing the girls. As the girls begin to go out to sell yarn and buy food, Meshkah is still digging under the house to find the treasure.

Meshkah and Rima find the treasure, and it is inscribed with the phrase "Contentment is an inexhaustible treasure." Meanwhile, Fatima goes out to sell yarn and returns with bread and wool and does not buy oil to light the house.

Fatima recounts her meeting with the dervish Abu Farag, who tells her about her and her sisters' fortunes and takes the oil money from her. Karima goes up to the roof to spin in the moonlight. During the day, Karima returns with apples, and Rima receives her with annoyance.

Safwan sends Wardan back to the court. Karima tells Rima that as she was spinning over the house and the yarn fell, she went down and found a door that opened, and she found the jinn's king and queen, Morgana. And while the king was sleeping, Morgana went to the ghoul Bahloul with food. 

Karima continues to say that she hit Morgana with an apple in her eye. King Safwan falls ill. Rima goes out with the apples and finds King Golan, the King of the Jinn. When she tells him about Morgana, he flies with her to the country of the jinn.

Golan tells Rima that Morgana came to him complaining about pain in her eye, and he did not believe what she told him. He impersonates a human to find out the story of who hit her with apples. Prince Karwan, Golan's son who cannot speak or move, appears.

As Golan waits for Morgana to come out, he goes after her, and he sees her and Bahloul. Suddenly, Prince Zahran, his son, appears and kills Bahloul, and Golan kills Morgana.

When Golan gives Rima the crown jewel in return for the favor, she asks him for a favor. She tells him that Karima has become crazy and sick since she heard Morgana's story. As Golan asks Maatouh to bring him Karima, he goes to her house and knocks on her door.

When Karima goes to the land of the jinn, Golan imprisons her in the Palace of Oblivion. Rima returns home and asks about Karima as if she does not know her whereabouts. The Princess tells Safwan and Wardan that her name is Fatima.

Karima is still trapped in the Palace of Oblivion, and Meshkah sees the jewel with Rima, who hides it in the house.

The two sisters keep searching for Karima to no avail. As Meshkah tries to flirt with Halima, Rima sees him. Karima is still calling that she is innocent.

When Halima returns from selling yarn, she tells Rima and Fatima that she found a well full of honey. So, Rima and Halima go to the well and start transferring the honey to the house. Elsewhere, Prince Zahran meets Karima, and she starts telling him her story.

As Golan is still looking for medicine for his son, Karwan, Zahran tells Karwan of his desire to marry Karima. Elsewhere, Rima and Halima continue to transfer the honey to the house.

Fatima and Halima try to find out Karima's whereabouts from Meshkah. When a torrent like a flood happens in the city of Takhtarwan, Safwan orders Wardan to go immediately with aid. Elsewhere, Rima and Halima go to the honey well, and after the well empties, Rima closes it on Halima.

As Rima returns without Halima and tells Fatima and Meshkah that Halima left her and went home, Meshkah keeps looking for her in vain. While Halima is inside the well, she finds a door with a gold lock, opens it, and finds herself in front of Queen Jasmine. She starts telling her her story.

Queen Jasmine goes with Halima to Abu Farag, and after he tells them what happened to Karima, they go to meet her on Oblivion Island.

Abu Farag shows Oblivion Island to Halima and Jasmine, and they see Karima. He requests that she go heal Karwan and ask Golan to release Karima from the Palace of Oblivion.

Abu Farag steals the jewel from Rima and gives it to Halima, who brings a plant and makes an ointment from it, disguises herself as a human doctor to treat Prince Karwan, and goes to King Golan.

After Halima heals Karwan, he goes to his father, Golan, and tells him that Morgana is the one who made him sick, and Halima asks for a reward. When Golan discovers Halima’s identity and she tells him the truth, he agrees that Karwan marry Halima and Zahran marry Karima.

Safwan agrees to Fatima and Wardan's marriage and gives orders to demolish Kaab El Ghazal's house and build a palace for them. Abu Farag tells them the reason for Meshkah's disappearance, which is that a tomb was closed as he was stealing a shroud. The treasure appears in Kaab El Ghazal's house.
