When a hideous stranger arrives in town, claiming to be a merchant from India selling precious goods, Vathek buys glowing swords with letters on them from the merchant and imprisons him.

From that point starts Vathek's fall from power in a series of licentious and deplorable activities designed to gain him supernatural powers
