Okay, I'll admit it, Valentino does have a make-'em-faint-in-the-aisles look. He doesn't do it all the time, but when he turns on the smolder, I can see why the women got all swoony.
The story is far-fetched. An American (or maybe English) woman travelling with her brother in Arabia is incensed because women aren't allowed in the Sheik's tent while the men are having dinner. So she sneaks in and is mistaken for a harem girl. She gets away, but when she insists to her brother that she should get to tour the desert without a chaperone, she loses her camel and ends up being rescued/captured by the Sheik. He treats her respectfully, and despite her resistance, they fall in love.
Oh, and don't worry - filmed in an era where interracial romance was taboo, we find out at the end that the Sheik was really a Frenchman who was orphaned in the desert as a child and adopted by a rich Arabian guy.
