Hollywood's first male sex symbol Rudolph Valentino stars as a charming Arabian sheik who becomes infatuated with an adventurous, modern-thinking Englishwoman (Agnes Ayres) and abducts her to his home in the Saharan desert. Valentino's sex appeal was so potent in this film that, according to actress Bette Davis, "A whole generation of females wanted to ride off into a sandy paradise with him."
