Plot
A thief in old Baghdad falls for a princess and goes on a quest for a magic chest to win her hand. A silent fantasy with spectacular sets.
Sinekatalog’s take
Raoul Walsh's silent fantasy puts Douglas Fairbanks in a lavish Arabian Nights quest. Spectacular sets, flying carpets and Fairbanks's athletic charm make it a thrilling, joyful landmark of fantasy cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
