In the Middle East, circa 1860s, the evil Omar seeks to become Khadive by killing off his adversaries and by marrying the reluctant Fawzia, favorite niece of the current Khadive. Omar's brutal policies result in the death of a young woman named Laila. Laila's brother, Kerim, then becomes Omar's sworn enemy.
Kerim, the son of the sheik stars Gordon Scott, who isn't showing his pecs much and is covered up in Arabian nights clothing and he's masked most of the time. He plays a Robin Hood-type character, going up against Omar. Scott, as always, is good in the role and shows his physical prowess in the action scenes. It's a typical desert adventure with gun blazing, horses galloping and scimitars chopping, but it's done well. It's a bit slow, but general it's enjoyable with a meaty performance from Moira Orfei, who plays a villainess.
