Esther is a fast moving and timeless story of ordinary people doing right regardless of the danger.

The King summons Queen Vashti to show herself to his drinking buddies, but she refuses and is banished.

The King wants a Queen, and a search begins all over the kingdom for beautiful candidates.

Esther becomes Queen; meanwhile, Mordechai hears of a plot to kill the King and sends a warning.

Mordechai refuses to pay homage to Haman, who then plots the murder of all the Jews.

Esther learns of the Haman’s plot and decides to see the King even though it could mean her death.

The Queen invites the King and Haman to a private dinner, and the King unknowingly humiliates Haman.

The King understands he has been misled and condemns Haman, but his edict cannot be cancelled.

Queen Esther’s edict gives the Jews a right to defend themselves for one day, nullifying Haman’s edict.

Many Persians ignore the second edict as battles begin, but Jews triumph and kill 75,000 Persians.
