The Captive was one of four Pathe films released during the last week of March, 1910. The heroine is kidnapped early in the proceedings and transported to the harem of a randy Rajah. Her captor does his best to seduce the poor girl, but she steadfastly resists his charms. When diplomacy fails, the Rajah orders his slaves to hold the girl down while he does his worst. At this juncture, the heroine's boyfriend (or husband) breaks down the door and rescues the girl with the help of several well-armed friends. Thus are the tables turned on the Rajah, who is now a captive himself.
