Paramount hoped the production would enjoy the same success to the similarly-themed hit The Sheik produced by the studio the previous year.[4]
Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[5] a kindly old sheik is being deceived by his villainous son, who seeks to destroy his father by uniting with the enemy tribe. However, the plan is foiled by a young English philosopher who lives alone at the oasis. In the ensuing battle the villain is killed, leaving the way clear for the happy marriage of the philosopher and the young woman he loves.
