A Sheik, unable to save the gems, vows to devote his life to recovering them, and patiently tracks the Count over land and sea to England. The Count meets an American girl, whose father has millions, and makes desperate love to her. The girl has a faithful suitor, a young American, but the dazzle of the title wins her, and she agrees to marry the man who has a romantic career and an established title. Through one of his faithful allies the Sheik learns of the engagement, and sets off for the summer home of the millionaire. He spies about the house, and looks into the window in time to see the Count gravely investing his fiancée with his "family jewels," which are really the loot of the Arabian temple. The Sheik determines to recover by force the gems that were stolen by violence. At night, when all in the house have retired, he forces a way in. But he is just a trifle too late. For the girl, afraid to keep such valuables in her own room, steals down stairs and places them in her father's safe. Just as she swings the door shut, the Sheik enters and overpowers her. He binds and gags the girl, and while she sits helpless in the room, he works to open the safe. The girl frees herself of the gag, but is afraid to scream for help, as the dangerous looking Arab, with his sharp knife, is only a few feet away. But the telephone is near her, and while the attention of the intruder is distracted, she takes the receiver from the hook with her teeth (her hands being still bound) and softly calls up the man she knows she can rely upon in an emergency, her American admirer. That young man, seated gloomily in his library, hears the call and is prompt in responding. He does not wait to get other help, he only realizes that the girl he loves is in danger, and he hastens to her side. The Sheik puts up a good battle, but is speedily overpowered. Then explanations are demanded. The man from the desert explains his mission. He convinces them that he is not a criminal, but a victim of injustice. The Count does not deny his guilt, but tries to justify himself. The girl listens to him in silence then turns the jewels over to the Arab, saying that she does not want the jewels of a thief, nor will she marry one. The Arab, full of joy, returns to his desert. The Count presumably goes back to France, while the young couple are happy ever after. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
