After a bloody two-year war, Prince Oroonoko went to pay his respects to Imoinda, the daughter of a general who had died during the war. He brought slaves with him as a gift for the deceased general s daughter, trophies of her father s victories. Upon meeting the charming and beautiful Imoinda, Prince Oroonoko promptly fell in love.
