He has a daughter, Zulka, who is loved by Selim, a pipe merchant close by. Hamer, procurer for the harem of the Sultan, observes Zulka in the rug shop and after informing the Sultan of the girl's beauty, he kidnaps her, leaving Selim badly bruised in the park as he has attempted to defend Zulka. Later Hamar again visits the pipe shop of Selim to secure an amber mouthpiece for the Sultan. He recognizes Hamar and trails him to the palace. Returning to the shop, his friend, Achid, the chemist, unfolds a plan for poisoning the Sultan and placing upon the throne Sukim Pasha, the leader of the revolutionists. Achid places a subtle poison in the mouthpiece of the Sultan's amber stem and the Sultan dies. The revolutionists storm the palace, kill Hamar, who tries to defend the body of his master, and Selim takes Zulka bodily from the harem, where she has been imprisoned and forced to receive the attentions of the Sultan. The story ends with the happy reunion of all parties. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
