Plot

Mehoub, a Bedouin youth, spends some time in the city to receive an education. While there, he meets Badriya, who soon disappears. He returns to his tribe and is invited by his friends to attend a celebration in honor of the recovery of the tribe's sheikh, Awf. There he meets Badriya again and discovers that she is engaged to her cousin Diab, which sparks jealousy and animosity between Mehoub and Diab. The two lovers secretly marry at the home of Sheikh Fadel, the tribe's official, but Diab harasses Mehoub and kills him, fleeing the scene. The tribe's horsemen pursue him, while the sheikh falls into a dangerous situation on a desert road. Fate sends Mehoub to the sheikh's rescue at the critical moment. Mehoub manages to save the sheikh, who forgives him and announces his pardon. The hearts, concepts, and emotions change, and the two tribes can declare the young man's marriage to the girl without shame or hatred.^[3]^[4]
