stars solid!!!

- Following the conquest of Babylon, King Ahasuerus of
Persia gives a banquet for his people, but his wife,
Vashti, refuses to attend. Ahasuerus disowns Vashti for
her disobedience and goes in search of her replacement.
In his harem, he meets the young girl Esther and falls in
love with her. Her loving cousin, Mordecai sits at the
kings gate to look after her. Then Mordecai hears of a
plot to kill the king and warns Esther thus saving the
kings life. However, because Mordecai is a Jew he will
not bow to the king's evil right hand man Haman. Caring
nothing for the good Mordecai has done, Haman not only
plots Mordecai's death but all the Jews in the kingdom
too. Esther then reveals to Ahasuerus that she is a Jew
and asks him to show her people mercy because of the
planned genocide of the Jews by Haman.
