Tagline: A photoplay of tempestuous love between a madcap English beauty and a bronzed Arab chief!
Plot: This classic silent film stars silver screen legend Rudolph Valentino. Despite her countrymen's warning against travelling into the desert alone, Lady Diana rides out onto the sandy plain with only one guide to protect her. Miles into the desert, she's captured by Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan. Bewitched by her beauty, the Sheik keeps the British aristocrat locked away in a love nest hoping to make her his concubine. He tries to win her affections, but Lady Diana protects her virtue. When a distinguished Frenchman who befriended the Sheik in Paris comes to visit, Diana realizes her captor's not the uncivilized brute she mistook him for. Suddenly a tragic accident leaves Sheik Hassan seriously wounded. Will this tragedy help Diana recognize her true feelings for him? This is the picture that cemented Valentino's superstar status.
