Summary

The sheik: Lady Diana Mayo is carried into the desert by an Arab chieftan, who takes one look at her and wants her, right then and there.

In this sequel to Valentino's career-defining film The Sheik, he portrays a cultured yet untamed young man who is lured into a thieves' trap by a beautiful dancer, Yasmin. When he escapes, he kidnaps the girl and holds her captive in his desert lair, gowning her in Arabian finery and threatening to unleash his violent passions upon her.
