jangus Khan came swarming Westward out

of the GOI desert having conquered China

Persia and Russia they are now invading

Poland the bloodthirsty ambition of

Jenis Khan is to capture the Polish

stronghold

Krakow but for the first time and after

many victories the Mongol tribe learn

the bitter taste of defeat

tillan that's the only way to close my

[Music]

wound my pain is nothing compared to our

defeat and my suffering is less than

nothing compared to your pain

kui but now the Polish can never be

defeated Ed even with the might of the

Mongol that Soldier there told me he saw

a very strange power that defeated us it

seemed like a

hurricane please come and listen to him

giant if he was so big why didn't I see

twig he wasn't

single-handed he even frightened the

horses and my fellow soldiers who saw

you may speak kubai what is she called

as yet I don't know her real name but

one thing is certain it can be

identified with the Throne of CRA out I

wish to speak to you about an idea I

have great can

we can attack krackow some other time

take her to the

castle you say that a girl as delicate

and lovely as this is equivalent to a

city I think you exaggerate

kubilai come here

[Laughter]

why she's more like a

dove the only thing missing are the

[Laughter]

wings look

oh great Sovereign Khan I want to

restore your faith in

me you remember when we fought the

Battle of

goad one of the prisoners I captured was

a nobleman his crazy babbling always

troubled me he was speaking of her when

he said the sign of the star save her

save the

princess it's only the past few days

that I've been able to reconstruct the

whole story and find out where the girl

was hiding

this girl is the Aris to the throne of

Krakow and thus to half of

Poland a

queen you may speak if you wish who are

you this man is mistaken I'm the

daughter of a

Shepherd either you don't know are

you're pretending not to know your

origin I propose to find out

which with your permission great jasan I

shall bring into your presence my polish

prisoner The

Prisoner that's not all while I was

searching for the girl I discovered that

she knew a man called

Hercules he's been captured and rendered

harmless when Hercules finds out you've

kidnapped me he'll save me I'm sure of

that who is this Hercules

an impostor that's not even his

name did Young gazan help you with this

plan of

yours yes

[Music]

a sign of the

[Music]

star don't tell anyone who you are

everyone here is

spying a Mongols must never be told that

you were

saved we carried you to a

village when your star had grown you

were to become Queen there was no other

way to rescue you from the Mongols of

Jenis

Khan they've kept me buried alive with

my memories of the past and force me to

relive those last terrible hours no no

you mustn't use your real name you will

say that you will

say your name is armina the day will

come when you reclaim the name that is

yours I thought we had exterminated the

whole family no one in your village must

ever know when the time comes you will

be

Queen Poland's Throne is yours don't

speak anymore you must obey

[Music]

K my

[Music]

daughter the king of Poland is

dead you're Kar of

Poland this girl is worth a kingdom

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

the Mongols will not try to attack

Krakow again therefore we might as well

get out of Poland there's nothing for us

to do now except to attack and reconquer

[Music]

torole SRA have come from our encampment

Arius has just returned there with

Hercules good news I would like to speak

with our defender of back out let's

[Music]

go doubtless the Mongols have discovered

the true identity of armina they'll use

her as a

hostage they won't succeed I shall

rescue her Arma means everything to

me there's something I have to tell you

in a certain sense I share the

sentiments you've shown toward armina

I don't

understand the father of armina and my

father decided to unite the two kingdoms

to form a bigger and stronger Poland

this was their pact and they swore to

keep it and you cannot break this Union

between me and the woman you've only

known by the name of

armina and who in reality is Kara of

Poland

our bond is

sacred armina's father disappeared 20

years ago in the Battle of

goad I'm glad that armina has been

friends with a man as Brave as you but

now the national interest takes

precedence over personal feelings only a

United Poland can resist and overcome

the aggressions of jenas

Khan now you are free to renounce your

pledge to save Kar of

Poland or should I say armina

[Music]

Amina is a

queen if I save

her I shall lose her

forever I'm

sorry very well I have

decided I shall renounce my claim on her

but I shall rescue her just the same

no one has ever made a gesture more

noble than yours but the king insists

that you leave as soon as you've sworn

to renounce

her he's right he wants me to accompany

you he thinks it will be easier to enter

Tona pole if you were with me

[Music]

[Music]

are you tired I prefer to go on we still

have a long way if you can keep on going

I'd like to travel until

[Music]

sunset thank

you do you want more

[Music]

no thank you I'd better go light some

fires before the wolves

come

Hercules

yes sleep

well good night

[Music]

make the smallest sound it would draw

the attention of the

mongal you're right I'll try to make it

well hurry tomorrow at Daybreak we must

be in torap

[Music]

enter the Palace of jangus Khan yes I'm

far away from here but I feel she's

still in torn

[Music]

enough forgive me but I don't want to

soldiers are attacking the Mongols it's

better that he take revenge and save the
