Conan has just crowned himself King of Aquilonia, but members of the court are already conspiring against him with the former court magician Thulandra Thuu, who seeks the crown for himself. Thulandra Thuu attacks Conan and leaves him for dead, while he assumes Conan's appearance and lives the life of a king. Conan is saved by the dancer Alcina, who once tried to poison Conan, but who now hopes to be forgiven. Conan returns to kill the impostor, and the conspiring noblemen live to try again another day.
