The video uses the same narrative as the Act I TV-special and attempts to present the fuller story of the Princess of Cairo (Mayte) whose father is assassinated by 7 men and left with 3 Chains O’ Gold. She seeks Prince’s help by sending him a video. Upon seeing it he falls in love with her, but is reluctant to commit. After dating other women and sowing his wild oats he realizes his heart belongs to Mayte.
