The Magic Voyage of Sinbad

The vagabond Sadko (Sergey Stolyarov) aims to save the people of Novgorod by finding an enchanted bird of happiness called the Phoenix. After seeking assistance from the lovely princess (Y. Myshkova), he takes a squadron of men on a trek where they face off against the maharajah (M. Astangov), before winning the Phoenix in a duel of wits. The bird has magical powers that prove useful when Sadko is attacked by those wanting to steal the Phoenix from him.
