The Son of the Sheik was designed to revive Valentino's flagging career. In the sequel, Young Ahmed (Valentino) falls in love with Yasmin, a dancing girl (Vilma Banky), but he is captured and tortured by bandits.

In New York for the premiere of "The Son of the Sheik," Valentino collapsed and died eight days later at the age of 31.
