Well you don't get much chance to draw breath for the first fifteen minutes of Frank Lloyd's silent interpretation of this exciting seafaring story. "Sir Oliver" (Milton Sills) is sitting by the fireside of his manor house dreaming of his fiancée "Lady Rosamund" (Enid Bennett) when the wheels start to come off his well ordered life. He finds himself wrongly blamed for killing "Godolphin" (Wallace MacDonald) who happens to be her brother and who has actually been bumped off by "Lionel" (Lloyd Hughes) who happens to be the half brother of the poor soul who's now in a lot of trouble! Fleeing seems like the order of the day, but that is just a frying pan to fire exercise as he is captured by the Spaniards and put to the oars of a galley. He's quite a wily fellow, makes some friends amongst the shackled and manages to escape. Once free, he does his own "Count of Monte Cristo" impersonation, becoming "Sakr-el-Bahr" and scaring the wits out of the other seafarers using the high seas to trade. Meantime, a dejected "Rosamund" is facing the prospect of a marriage to the treacherous "Lionel" and when news of their impending nuptials reaches a certain Morrish stronghold, "Sir Oliver" sets off to kidnap the pair. Thing is, she is a beauty and she turns the head of the ageing but clearly still up for it Basha (Frank Currier) so now they must make other arrangements before she heads to his harem... Can they manage to reconcile, deal with their duplicitous relative and make it back to home and hearth in Blighty in one piece? It's a quickly paced and lively swashbuckler this, with some seriously impressive maritime combat scenes with life-sized ships and an astonishing degree of attention to detail amongst the costumes, action and the settings. Sills looks like he's enjoying himself - especially when he gets into his Arab garb and starts a-pirating, and Bennett and the engaging Wallace Beery contribute strongly too. It's a good adventure film, and though there is romance at times it doesn't ever bog down the plot and, indeed, "Lady Rosamund" is just as formidable a character as any of the men.
