Synopsis
After her husband is convicted of throwing one of her suitors into a Venetian canal, adventuress Bella Donna (Mrs. Ruby Chepstow) marries engineer Nigel Armine. They travel to Egypt, where Bella Donna comes under the spell of Mahmoud Baroudi, who persuades her to poison Nigel. He is already seriously ill when a friend diagnoses his trouble, accuses Bella Donna, and brings Nigel back to health. Bella Donna flees to Baroudi's tent but finds him occupied with another woman and having no intention of openly interfering with an Englishman's marriage. Returning to Nigel, she sees her husband in the care of Patricia, a former sweetheart. Bella Donna turns and wanders into a desert sandstorm alone.
