The Son of the Sheik

Ahmed (Rudolph Valentino), the son of an Arab sheik and a kidnapped English gentlewoman (Agnes Ayres), loves local dancing girl Yasmin (Vilma Banky). When he slips out of his father’s heavily guarded compound to woo her, he is kidnapped and held for ransom by a group of bandits led by Yasmin’s father (George Fawcett) and Ghabah (Montagu Love), the Moor to whom she is betrothed. The son of the sheik and a dancing girl fall in love, but when he is made to believe she has betrayed him he seeks revenge.
