- The hero, Lige, accompanied by his Black valet, land on a desert island and are captured by cannibals who prepare to put them in a stew. A flood of water released to put out a fire in one of the straw huts sweeps them away. With the aid of an alligator, mistaken for a spar, they land on a shore and are received as guests of an oriental potentate in his palace; however, the desire of the ruler for the girl and the opposition of the hero causes the latter with his companion to be thrown in a room where a lion is let loose, and then follows a merry chase and general mix-up which covers the whole palace ending in the hero conquering the lion.
- A mighty explorer and his valet suddenly find themselves surrounded by cannibals whose argument seems to be whether they will have the pair fricasseed or roasted. They can't settle the question, so King Tobasco orders the two into cold storage until the cooks agree. The explorer finds a scientist and his daughter also in the hoos-gow, also slated for the kettle. The explorer saves the lives of himself and his fellow prisoners by the simple expedient of setting fire to the straw hut. When King Tobasco opens the floodgates to drown out the fire, our party is swept out to sea. and then they find themselves in the land of Abdul Bey Rum and his son. the Sheik of Badjag. They are escorted to the palace to let the rulers give them the once-over. Once is enough for the Sheik, who tells his daddy to put them all in irons except the girl. He's going to make her his sweet mamma. But the explorer has more nerve than judgment, and gives the Sheik an argument with a sword. They battle all over the place. The explorer and his valet back through a door into a lion's boudoir. The lion playfully knocks them through the door again and comes out into the throne room himself, just as the Sultan and the Sheik are congratulating themselves on how well they feed their pets. The lion chases the entire party into another room, but the explorer and his valet get their second wind and save them all by knocking the lion for a loop and getting a knockout decision over the Sultan and his son.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
