Reared as their estal virgin, her soul has been given over to the intoxicating rite of the Dance. The Devil Dancer!

AND HOW SHE DANCES!

She dances herself into the heart of an explorer -- into the world -- into strange new peril -- across the bleak wastes of China -- to Bombay -- there to meet the climax of her love and fate as a dancing Nautch girl!
