Hawk.” Frank Lloyd’s production of Rafael Sabadni’s novel at the same name. Over six months were required to bring this story to the screen, and it required hunlreils of players to enact the various roles in the romantic story, which concerns the fortunes of Sir Oliver Tresillian. an English nobleman living on the ancestral estates during the sixteenth century. Shortly after the announcement of his engagement to Rosamund Godolphin, the daughter of his enemies, he is accused of the murder of her wastrel brother, and Rosamund, refusing to listed to his pleas of innocence, breaks the engagement. Sir Oliver finds that his foster brother, Lionel, is the real murderer, and for the brother's sake, allows his former friends to believe he is guilty. The younger brother, fearing that the truth will be found out. arranges with a profligate sea captain to have his bi other abducted and thrown aboard a pirate ship, where the rascally captain. Jasper Leigh, confesses to Oliver the brother’s part in the kidnaping. Oliver determines to return to England and confront his brother, but they are captured by a Spanish ship and Oliver endures many long months of privation and torture as a galley slave aboard the galleon, months of brooding, during which he is obsessed with but one idea, to avenge himself on his false brother and his former sweetheart, whom he still loves. Through a chain of fortunate circumstances. Oliver is made captain of an Algerian ship owned by the Basha of Algiers, and roves the sea preying on merchant ships. Oliver, known as Sakr-el-Bahr. so endears himself to the Basha that he is given a position of great prominence on the Basha’s staff, and in command .f one of the ships, returns to England, where he arrives in time to prevent the marriage of Rosamund to the false brother. He and his men capture Rosamund and Lionel, and take them back to Algiers, where Oliver forces a confession from Lionel. Rosamund, her faith in Oliver restored, admits that she has never ceased to loove him. They plan to return to England, but every obstacle is put in their way by the jealous wife of the Basha. who wants her son to have the place given Oliver. When the Basha sees Rosamund he attempts to buy her as a slave, and he and Oliver have their first quarrel over the girl. After a series of dramatic incidents, including a night battle on the seas, Rosamund and Oliver are rescued by Rosamund’s guardian, who takes them back to England, where Oliver ia reinstated as the lord of his estates.
