His secretary suggests he advertise for one, but Ram is well aware that no camera was ever built to take his features, and is about to give up, when the cunning secretary suggests they quietly snap handsome young Frank Kent, the Government Consul on the Island of Zulon, and whenever anyone answers, send them that photo, purporting to be the Sultan. This plan is carried out when Amy Leigh, a young American seamstress answers the ad, then passage money is sent her. She sails for Zulon, and on finding who the real Sultan is, she faints dead away in the most approved style. But Kent has followed the girl, and at the critical moment does the "hero act'' and rescues the fair maiden in the most amusing and sensational manner. The Sultan angrily orders out the "army" (consisting of a dozen natives), but Kent takes advantage of an old law in Zulon which states that whoever disputes the Sultan's power to rule must fight his Majesty a duel. Kent challenges the Sultan and the latter is forced to accept. A lively fight ensues, a sort of combined wrestling, boxing and broadsword duel, which results in an ignominious defeat for the Sultan. Amy, who has watched proceedings with horror, throws herself into the young hero's arms, and sobs out her joy upon his manly breast. Kent is now Sultan and Amy becomes Sultana.
