Bob and his brother, Stanton, are members of a British cavalry regiment in the Sudan. Stanton steals the commissary funds, and Bob assumes the blame, deserting his post and joining up with a cheap vaudeville troupe. Bob falls in love with Jeanne, the stooge in a whip act. Sheik Achmed takes a fancy to Jeanne and kidnaps her with the help of Madame Blossom, the whip expert. Jeanne turns out to be too white for the sheik, however, and he throws her out. Bob and Jeanne then find a happy future together.
