When the Egyptian Pharaoh orders the death of all first born Hebrew males, a Hebrew woman puts her infant son adrift on the Nile River to save him.
The infant is found by an Egyptian princess who decides to raise the baby despite the child's Hebrew descent. He grows up to become Moses and years later, when he's a successful general, he runs into his elderly mother and saves her life, without knowing her true identity.
