About The Thief of Bagdad (1924)

The Thief of Bagdad is a 1924 American silent fantasy adventure film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Douglas Fairbanks, and written by Achmed Abdullah and Lotta Woods. Adapted from One Thousand and One Nights, the film tells the story of a thief who falls in love with the daughter of the Caliph of Baghdad.

Ahmed steals as he pleases in the city of Bagdad. Wandering into a mosque, he tells a holy man he disdains his philosophy: "What I want, I take." That night, he sneaks into the caliph's palace using a magic rope he stole during ritual prayers. All thoughts of plunder are forgotten when he sees the sleeping princess, the caliph's daughter, along her three slaves: a flute player, a fortune-teller, and a Mongol slave. The princess's Mongol slave alerts the guards, but he gets away.
