IN ANCIENT PERSIA, THE KING, AHASUERUS, MARRIED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE KINGDOM, ESTHER. WHEN ESTHER BECAME QUEEN, HER UNCLE MORDECAI ACCOMPANIED HER TO THE PALACE AND BECAME ONE OF THE KING`S ADVISORS, AS WELL AS TO WATCH OVER ESTHER. BUT THE KING`S CHIEF ADVISOR, THE EVIL HAMAN, BECAME JEALOUS AND TRICKED THE KING INTO DECREEING THAT ALL OF MORDECAI`S PEOPLE, THE JEWS, SHOULD BE KILLED! NOW, ESTHER DEVISES A PLAN TO THROW A PARTY, USING HER GREAT BEAUTY AND CHARM TO WIN THE KING`S FAVOR!
