The English army is transported lo the Soudan and is now encamped in the midst of the activities of the campaign. A messenger arrives and announces that the Arabs and the Dervishes are preparing to attack the encampment. The younger of the two brothers is directed to act as an outpost on the border of the desert. He had .scarcely taken up his position on picket duty when he is dragged away to an Arabian village and imprisoned. A messenger rides into camp and informs the older boy that his brother is taken captive. He reaches the Arabian village and learns that his brother is soon to be put to death. The older brother overpowers a Dervish priest and dons his robes. He approaches the executioner and declares that Allah refuses the young man put to death. He is released, but before the two brothers reach a place of safety, the real priest who had been bound rushes to the Arabian camp, explains what has happened and together with a number of Arabs go in pursuit of the brothers. Just as they are captured a company of English Fusiliers and Scotch Kilties come to their rescue and put the Arabs to flight. At the close of the war, the brothers are received with open arms by their parents. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
