The wife is a curio fiend, and demands that Harris secure the scimitar, but the husband, having read in his guidebook that the scimitar was supposedly presented to the prophet in a vision and that the vengeance of Allah will follow whosoever disturbs it, begs her to abandon the foolish idea. She insists. That night Harris enters the temple with a rope ladder, steals the scimitar and escapes. In his flight he loses his hat, which is found by the horrified Hadjji. Hadjji follows the tourists to America, and posing as a rug merchant, gains access to their house, where the vengeance of Allah is fulfilled. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
