Synopsis
At a London Victory Ball, Lady Isabelle Channing is attracted to Sheik Essad of the Egyptian delegation, but, realizing their difference in race and class, she controls her interest. When Isabelle's brother, Sir Charles Channing, a dissolute gambler, is sent to Egypt on a diplomatic mission, Isabelle accompanies him and gradually falls in love with Essad while Charles loses all his money gambling to Aboul Bey, the leader of the rebellion forces. After forging a check, Charles is threatened with exposure unless he turns over intelligence secrets. When Isabelle goes with Charles to Aboul Bey's tent to pay his debt, Aboul Bey attempts to rape her, but she stabs and kills him. Essad arrives to save them from Aboul Bey's followers and the British troops soon quell the rebellion. After Essad explains that he is a disguised English nobleman in Egypt to penetrate the rebellion, and that he has been appointed Sirdar of Egypt, he and Isabelle pursue their romance.
