But Osman had different plans laid for his daughter; she was to be married to a wealthy rug merchant. When the wealthy suitor came and saw Ahmet in the garden with his arms around the beautiful Zulika, he went at once to Osman, who ordered one of his slaves to throw the intruder into a sealed prison, so that he would suffocate. The slave complied forthwith. Sometime later Ahmet's father died and Osman, in fear, released the captive. Ahmet went at once in search of Zulika, whom he found with the merchant about to be made one. Ahmet cast gold and jewels at the feet of Osman, telling him that this should satisfy his greed. Osman, struck by the brilliancy of the jewels, dismissed the merchant and gave his daughter to Ahmet. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
