The White Man's Law
DirectorJames Young
“All men who have not forgotten their dream adventures of boyhood, all women for whom the Orient has a seductive lure will glory in this widely exciting story with its mysterious note of surprise.”
Japanese leading man Sessue Hayakawa stars as John A. Ghengle, the Oxford-educated son of an Arab chieftain. Entering into a business partnership with Sir Harry Falkland (Jack Holt), a notorious roue, Ghengle relocates to Sierra Leone, where he falls in love with French-Sudanese girl Maida Verne (Florence Vidor.) Upon proposing marriage, Ghengle is turned down and hotly demands to know why.
