Harem Follies

Bert is found making love to the beautiful Queen of the Harem. The romantic moment is interrupted by a dashing Sheik who enters and challenges Bert’s technique, leading to a comedic rivalry. As both men attempt to seize the woman (Bert grabbing her head and the Sheik her feet), she is revealed to be a dummy. The two men hand off the pieces of the dummy to a large slave. Bert then seizes the throne and orders a dancer to perform for him.
