In medieval times, Spain is occupied by the conquering Moors of North Africa. Within this context, a peaceful Christian village’s existence is shaken by the arrival of a Moorish army unit led by Sheik Abengalbon and his son Halaf. The unit occupies the local fortress. It sends out smaller groups of soldiers to collect taxes, grain and other tribute from the conquered Spanish villages and towns. Despite the servility shown by the Alcalde (mayor) of the village of this story, the locals and the peasants grumble and aren’t so welcoming towards the invading Moors. Nevertheless, the Moors collect the grain of several villages and leave. On their way to the nearby Moorish-occupied fortress, the unit is ambushed by local brigands who kill the guards and steal the grain and other war booty from the dead Moors. Outraged by the news, Sheik Abengalbon and his son Halaf lead a punishing expedition. They take Spanish hostages and they later execute them in Arab fashion by using the ‘water well …
Intorno all’anno 1000, un paese della Castiglia viene occupato da un gruppo di guerrieri arabi che approfittano in questo modo di una tregua intercorsa tra i mori e l’esercito cristiano. All’inizio simulano intenzioni pacifiche, ma ben presto dimostrano uccidendo l’alcalde che il loro obiettivo è assoggettare la città. La popolazione, fino a quel momento non avvezza a imprese belliche, abbandona le case e nomina suo capo Don Gonzalo. Inizia così una guerriglia contro gli occupanti che prosegue con alterne vicende e si conclude vittoriosamente grazie all’apporto di un gruppo di cavalieri. Alla fine, cacciati i mori, l’ordine regnerà sul villaggio.
