The story

As described in a film magazine, while in Constantinople, Bob Van Buren comes to the rescue when Demetra, an upper-class young Turkish woman, and her duenna are waylaid by robbers, which paves the way for romance between them. This is opposed by her father and Osman, the fiancée her father is attempting to force on her. With the thought of such a highly educated, gifted with the needle, and graceful dancer ending up in a harem instead of a respectful home driving him to desperation, Bob convinces her to elope with him to New York City.
