Plot
Sultan Abdullah conquers the island of Mompracem, the haunt of Sandokan's pirates. The sultan is a puppet of the British army, very happy to have sent into exile Sandokan. Lord James Brooke, the new governor of the British soldiers, discovers where Sandokan is: the pirate is trying a new assault together Mompracem with the Indian princess Jamilah; and so man calls himself the powerful thugs, the killers of the Ganges, the bloodthirsty goddess worshiped Kali. Sandokan soon realizes that his fight for the reconquest of the island of Mompracem is not easy. In fact James Brooke calls the thugs, and all the wild populations of India, who are hungry and thirsty for booty.
