The son of the sheik and a dancing girl fall in love, but when he is made to believe she has betrayed him he seeks revenge.
The film is a wonderfully exotic and romantic adventure complete with desert chases, stunts, last minute rescues, daring escapes and ferocious fights. Valentino plays both father and son in this tongue-in-cheek romp that many think is his best film.
