DirectorGeorge Fitzmaurice
“"An eye for an eye-a hate for a hate-that my girl, is the law of the tribe."”
Ahmed, son of Diana and Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, falls in love with Yasmin, a dancing girl who fronts her father's gang of mountebanks. She and Ahmed meet secretly until one night when her father and the gang capture the son of the sheik, torture him, and hold him for ransom.
