[6] The film takes inspiration from the seventh-century tale of Muhammad bin Qasim, a 15-year-old Arab commander from Basra in the Umayyad era.

In the film, he’s a young, idealistic adventurer who plans to rescue the wives and children of deceased sea merchants that have been taken prisoner by pirates and King Daher the Great of Sindh.

Before accomplishing his mission, Mohammed falls in love with Princess Lola Benny of Qossah after saving her life, only to have to leave her to go defeat the Daher and his army.

The Knight and the Princess was lauded for its representation of Arabs and countering stereotypes often found in Western-produced entertainment.
