Plot SynopsisDirector Walter Forde's unimaginative version of the long-running Arabian Nights stage success that had been filmed previously as a silent picture. The story revolves around Ali Baba (George Robey) and the 40 Thieves, and exotic slave girl Zahrat (Anna May Wong) who foils one of the thieves (Fritz Kortner) posing as the Chinese mandarin he has killed. |
