Where to Watch

When his ne'er-do-well brother embezzles the commissary funds of their cavalry unit stationed in the Sudan, a British soldier takes the blame for him. He winds up deserting his post and joining up with a traveling vaudeville troupe. He falls in love with a pretty young woman in one of the show's acts but finds that a local Arab sheik has his own plans for the young girl.

This remake of Vitagraph's 1923 production THE ARAB stars Collier as a soldier in the British cavalry stationed in the Sudan. After he takes the blame for a theft his brother committed, he deserts to join a vaudeville troupe, and falls in love with Bronson. Problems arise when a sheik, Schultz, buys her. He throws her out, however, when he discovers she's a white woman. Only about 50 percent of the film has spoken dialog. One song, "My Cairo Love."
