Synopsis
Olette, an American dancer who is the star of the Russian ballet, attracts the attention of Kadir El Raschid. Engaging the dancer for an appearance in Turkey, Raschid offers her the honor of becoming his sixteenth wife. When she refuses, he imprisons her in his harem where her presence ignites a mutiny among his other fifteen wives. Olette escapes by jumping from a window and returns to America where she encounters reporter Jimmy Warburton, who knew her when she was merely Mary Ann and worked on a weekly newspaper. When Raschid follows her to America, Jimmy and Olette concoct a wild goose chase for the Kadir. Olette boards an ocean liner to Europe, followed by Raschid. As soon as the ship leaves the harbor, she drops aboard the tugboat and returns to New York where she marries Jimmy, leaving Raschid to continue his voyage alone.
