Political intrigue in Turkey at the turn of the century is the subject of this talky drama. Fritz Kortner is Sultan Abdul, and his double, the tyrant whose every wish is law. The Young Turks, who wear white Fez's, are an upstart group of rebels who want him dead. Their spies infiltrate the palace and attempt to assassinate him. The Sultan survives but his paranoia eventually gets the best of him. A romantic subplot has him lusting after an opera singer played by the lovely Adrienne Ames.
