As described in a film magazine, Cordelia Darwin (Inescourt), spinster sister of Egyptologist George Darwin (Clark) who resides in the desert, is a believer in reincarnation. Certain that she lived two thousand years ago as the Princess Rhodolphis and that youthful dragoman Ahmed (Hayakawa) is the reincarnation of her lost lover, she installs him in her home as a butler. Elinor Wayne (Hall), ward of the Darwins, becomes the prey of Egyptian nobleman Aboul Pasha (Jones). His determination to win her results in her abduction by rascals who take her to the home of the dancer Soada (Pavis). Ahmed follows and rescues Elinor. When murders hired by Pasha burn down the Darwin home, Ahmed aids the Darwins and Elinor in escaping. Elinor and George are reunited as sweethearts, while Ahmed finds his soul mate in Zorah (Acker).
