As Reade endeavors to get close to his fiance, Effie ends up educating the princess about Western ideas of emancipation and the modern role of a wife.

Tarji's father is outraged, but Effie slyly congratulates him, pointing out that he would not let a man like Reade ruin the oil deal he had with the United States, even though he was a scoundrel.

[1] The character of Princess Tarji was resurrected in one episode of Sheldon's I Dream of Jeannie, titled "This Is Murder" (4/9/66), portrayed by Gila Golan.
