Ishmael does not heed Lot and unsuccessfully tries to set the slaves free, believing that the Hebrews will harbour them. Lot disagrees and advises Ishmael to wait, believing that the Sodomites will change their ways in time. Ishmael however, believes that Lot has succumbed to luxury and instead should liberate Sodom's mine slaves. Sodomites and Hebrews both revere Lot and seek his judgment. Some time later, Lot and Ildith now live in luxury in Sodom.

Lot now believes that the Hebrews can move out of the wilderness and live among the Sodomites ("separate, but in their full view", he cautions) by selling salt. However, the flood waters reveal that the Hebrew camp is also the site of a vast salt deposit. His quick thinking saves the twin cities and the Hebrews, but the camp and the crops are destroyed. In a last, desperate measure, Lot orders that the dam that the Hebrews have built be broken. Although the Hebrew farmers and the Sodomite soldiers fight valiantly, they are nearly defeated by the fierce nomadic warriors. Lot and Ildith's wedding day celebrations are interrupted by an Elamite attack. Lot's other daughter, Maleb ( Claudia Mori) and his headstrong lieutenant, Ishmael ( Giacomo Rossi Stuart) also plan a marriage. Meanwhile, Shuah and Astaroth begin a secret affair. She and Lot also fall in love and plan to marry. Ildith dislikes the rough conditions of the Hebrew camp, but soon befriends Lot's daughters.
However, he soon turns his attentions to Lot's flirtatious daughter, Shuah ( Rossana Podestà). Astorath is disgusted and baffled by his sister's easy terms with the Hebrews. In a surprising turn, she gives Lot Ildith, who does not wish to leave the queen or her life of luxury in Sodom. Once Lot and his people reach the Jordan, he negotiates the use of the land on one side of the river with Queen Bera, promising her both grain and defense should Sodom's desert enemies attack. Lot tells her that owning slaves is evil. She tells him that she is also a slave, albeit the chief of the Queen of Sodom's body slaves. Lot assumes that Ildith owns these women. As the Hebrews approach their destination, Lot meets the beautiful Ildith ( Pier Angeli), who luxuriates in a litter while a group of slave girls in chains precede her over the rocky terrain. By contrast with the people of the twin cities, the Hebrews are presented as a pious and austere people with high moral standards. Meanwhile, Lot ( Stewart Granger) leads his family and a Hebrew tribe through the desert, hoping that he can find a permanent home for his people along the fertile banks of the River Jordan.
Tamar refuses to speak under interrogation and Bera has her and her two young sisters killed. Queen Bera demands the name of her co-conspirator. Returning from her meeting in the desert with the Elamite leader, Tamar is captured by a Sodomite patrol. The decadent citizens, who have become wealthy by trading salt, live in luxury and use slaves as servants and for violent games of entertainment.Īfter a night of revelry, Astaroth ( Stanley Baker), the Prince of Sodom, tells slave girl Tamar ( Scilla Gabel) to carry a message to the king of the Elamites, with whom he plans to overthrow his sister, Bera, Queen of Sodom ( Anouk Aimée).
The twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah prosper because of their great deposits of salt, which are mined by an army of slaves.
