The film tells the story of the Turkish warlord İslam Bey, portrayed by Cüneyt Arkın.

In one scene İslam Bey orders the Russian commander to wait until the arrival of the "Kiev Imperial Army" to attack the Turks.

The portrait he attacked clearly belongs to the last Tsar of the Russian Empire, Nicholas II.

One of the key aspects of the film is that there are almost no outside scenes - nearly all of the story takes place in a European style mansion, representing the Russian castle, and in a dungeon.

The film is also different from many other Cüneyt Arkın's historic action films in that it is about a more recent historical era of the Ottoman Empire as opposed to the Battal Gazi, Kara Murat, and Malkoçoğlu movies that have their settings in early Ottoman era, Ghazi tradition and the rise of the Ottoman Empire.
