This is the tale of the ill-fated love affair between the bandit Black Tiger and the well-born lady Rumpoey. They have known each other since childhood, but her father has engaged her to marry Police Captain Kumjorn--who is charged with destroying the gang of which Black Tiger is a member. At one point Black Tiger very sportingly saves Kumjorn's life. As the wedding day approaches, will Kumjorn be man enough to return the favor?
