A trailer of the film is currently held in the Library of Congress, and evidence has arisen that a copy may exist in Gosfilmofond in Russia.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Arabs have captured the French Captain de Cadiere (Bryant), but he escapes with the help of Hassouna (Nazimova), a young Bedouin woman of the desert.

She is abandoned to die by the irate sheik (Stern), is captured by marauders of the desert sands, and is sold in slavery to the manager of a small French circus.

The Captain, at a show near a small town where his ship is anchored, finds the Bedouin woman and takes her to his home.

After hearing that the Captain's detachment has killed all of her tribe in the desert, she vows vengeance upon the Frenchman.
