After discovering her fiancée kissing another woman, Vittoria marries a family friend in a marriage of convenience and accompanies him to the Italian colony of Libya. While there she encounters a handsome young man and falls in love with him. Wrongly believing her husband to have been killed in a Bedouin attack, the two undergo an Arab wedding ceremony with him. When she discovers the truth she returns to her husband.
The Pittsburgh Press noted that the film was "more interesting than the story... from which it was adapted."[3] The Ottawa Citizen stated that the film "teems with romance, color, action and drama with a climax as startling as it is unexpected."[4]
