Synopsis
Prince Fazil, an Arab chieftain, marries Fabienne, a carefree Parisienne, but once she is subjected to the rigors of desert life, she rebels and in doing so precipitates a quarrel. Prince Fazil leaves her for his beloved desert and establishes a harem. Her jealousy aroused, Fabienne returns to him and compels the desert maidens to disperse. The prince denounces her actions, and when a rescue party arrives to save Fabienne, he is mortally wounded; but before dying he poisons her, and they are united in death.
