There he rescues Meriem, a mysterious girl held captive by Arabs, and the two fall in love while surviving the perils of the wilderness. Their happiness is threatened when Meriem is captured again and nearly forced into marriage with an English fugitive. Through twists of fate, Meriem's noble identity is revealed, and the lovers are joyfully reunited.
