 Vicks, makers of Vicks' Vaternal Nose Drops, presents dangerously yours, a half-hour of romance and adventure starring Victor Jory in The Sheik. You know, more and more millions of people are using Vicks' Vaternal Nose Drops to relieve distress of head-calls, benefit by their experience. And now, dangerously yours, I am adventure. In my name men have traversed the highways, the byways, the skyways of the world. I have walked with beggars, ridden with knights in armor, sailed with pirates. I am the fire that burns in the heart of youth that makes men dream, and dare, and conquer. I am dangerously yours. They follow me to the deserts of Arabia, meet a girl who was proud, beautiful, and young, and meet the man who was determined to conquer her, a prince among all Arabs and in the eyes of all women, The Sheik. To decide the spelling of... That is beautiful, Effendi. Thank you. You're sure about the girl Gaston? I could not be mistaken, my master. She is the daughter of Dr. Winthrop, and she rides her horse this way every afternoon. And the fates are smiling on me. And I shall have the revenge I promised my father I would take. Wait until you see her. Such beauty, such lips, such eyes, such hair, such a blur, what a nounful she will make. I'm not interested in her beauty. I can get a thousand beautiful women without going to the trouble of stealing them. But not like her. I'm only interested in making her suffer, the way her father made me suffer. My master, look. I think I see her. Yes, that is she. I recognize her horse. Good. I shall ride out to meet her. Necessary that you should. Come, I think you will ride easy on my horse and my wife. Stop! Let me go! Oh, beautiful. It's useless to struggle. Here you go. You hear me? Let me go! It's not a chance, Ms. Winthrop. I waited too long for this moment. Candid, you're home. I hope you'll find it worthy. Brother Nye, don't you think? Are these two hanging lamps or a gift from the shore of Persia? I'm not interested in your lamps. I'm still waiting for an explanation of all these. Do you always ask so many questions? I think you must have asked a hundred for every mile of our journey. You told me nothing. That is because you fought and screamed. You're calm now, so what would you like to know? I'd demand to know why you grabbed me from my horse and brought me here. I'd demand to know what you want. Why, your company, of course. What else? Don't you think that tapestry is attractive? It was made by a hundred slave women and Baghdad, and it took them eleven years. Those silk and curtains around your bed over there came from Paris, and the bed itself is over a thousand years old. Very interesting, but I'm more interested in you. Who are you? I am the thief, Ahmad Ben Hassan. Why have you brought me here? Perhaps because you're beautiful. You see, I've never seen a woman with skin so soft or so fair, or hair so silk and her lips so red. I wondered what it would be like to touch that skin to kiss those lips. So I brought you here to find out. You always carry off anyone who attracts you? Always. Well, you've carried off the wrong girl this time. Look, my friend, let's not play games. Just let me have my horse and let me go. Why, what's your hurry? You just got here. You surely are not stupid enough to think you can keep me here against my will. My family and my friends are no doubt searching for me right now. I'll never find you. We're far in the desert. It's not easy to find an Arab tribe out here if the tribe doesn't want to be found. You have everything figured out, have you? I always have everything figured out. Now get out of those riding britches and dress for dinner. You'll find a gown, a very lovely Paris down there on the bed. Are you completely insane? Do you think I'd dress for dinner for you? Perhaps you'd like me to dress you. Oh! Oh, I really think you'd do it. You can be sure I will if it's necessary. So I would expect you in half an hour dressed for dinner. You'll find me in the next tent. Don't keep me waiting. Till then... Oh! You conceded arrogant people! She is very beautiful, is she not, my master? She is more beautiful than any woman I've ever seen in my life. What are you going to do with her? I'm going to make love to her. I'm going to hurt her and humiliate her in every way I can. I'm going to take all the pride out of her and send her back. I feel a little sorry for her. She did not do anything to you. She is not to blame for what... Her father could have saved my mother's life when she was ill. My father, who never bowed to any man, got down on his knees and begged Dr. Winthrop to come into the desert to treat her. But he refused. My mother died. My father made me take an open blood that I would avenge my mother's death. And I'm going to avenge it. How sad it is that you must hate her when it would be so much nicer to love her. Love makes a man soft and weak. It is not for the strong. I love no woman. I have no time for love. You haven't eaten much dinner. I'm not hungry. You could hardly expect me to be. I don't know why not. You've been riding all day. I'm starved. You look very lovely. That dress does things to you. If I ever get away from you, I'll burn it! By that time, it will be old enough to burn you. You know, you not only walk like a leopard, you also have the disposition of one. I have a few words that would describe you, too. But a lady doesn't say them aloud. What I said was a compliment. Did you ever see a leopard walk? It's slow and graceful. You've noticed, I suppose, that it's always safest to admire a leopard from a distance. Yes, and you will notice that I have a little thought for safety. Come. Come with me. Is that a command? Only if you're going to be arbitrary. How is it that a desert sheep speaks perfect English? I was educated in England, at Oxford. Indeed. One would think you might have learned some manners there. There are certain things about Arabs that even England can't change. Come with me. Oh, well. I suppose I have no other choice. No, you have not. Come. It's a beautiful night, isn't it? It might be in better company. The desert under the moon is beautiful. I've always liked it. No. But, my dear, you cannot love the desert unless you've loved an Arab. Look at this sand. Hold it against your cheek. Say it is still warm. We have a saying among our people. I will love you until the sands grow cold. Where is that music coming from? Some of my men are playing. That's one of my favorite songs. Do you know it? Yes. It's the Kashmiri song, a Hindu song. And a sad one. You're very quiet. What are you thinking? I was thinking how much I hated you. You're lying, guy. You couldn't be thinking that. Not under these stars listening to that music. Your eyes are more tender than your words. Your heart is warm. Don't flatter yourself. How soft your skin is. Take your candle off. And your lips are like crushed roses, as smooth as velvet undermined. Stop! You make love very constantly. I've never been kissed by a sheik before. I don't particularly care if I never am again. You little devil, I'll tame you. Put me down! Put me down! No, my dear, not yet. You'll know a lot more about the kisses of a sheik before I put you down. Pardon, ma'am Zelle, but it is almost noon I have your breakfast here. Good morning, ma'am Zelle. Who are you? I am Gaston, Miss Diane. I am valet and cooked to the sheik I met with her son. I have brought you your breakfast. Thank you. Good morning. Get out of here. I'm not accustomed to men, servants, or sheiks walking into my bedroom. But you're very young. You'll get over that. Gaston. Yes, sir. Ma'am Zelle might enjoy a ride this afternoon. If so, you will accompany her and see that she does not go more than three miles from camp. Yes, sir. That's very generous of you, I'm sure. Well, I'll be away all day. You'll have to have some amusement while I'm gone. You look lovely this morning. Did you spend the night dreaming about me? I spent the night dreaming about how to get away from you. You'll get over that, too. I'm going out to break a coat if you'd care to watch how I handle rebels. Come along. No, thank you. Just as you like. You may ride this afternoon if Gaston goes with you. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. Master, the girl is gone. Diane is gone. What do you mean she's gone? What happened? We were riding. She said she wanted to rest. I dismounted to help her down. And she whipped my horse and rode off by herself. You mean she left you alone in the desert on foot? Oh, that I do not mind, Effendi. But she is alone and helpless and riding straight toward the camp of Ibrahim Omer. And if she falls into his hands, suck. My kinsmen and ancient enemy would be well pleased to see her. The little fool. Run, Gaston. Call the men. Have them saddle the horses at once. Yes, sir. What horse is she riding? Your favorite, Zulika. Fastest in the desert. Well, she'll have to stop to rest. And with luck, we'll catch up with her. Come on. Master, I see her. Look, a white horse. It is Zulika. Yes, that is she. We're in luck. Stay with the men, Gaston. I'll ride ahead and get her. Are you hurt? No. Are you full, you little fool? The Zulika did. Yes, my Zulika's dead. That was my favorite horse. I loved her more than I could love a human being. And I killed her to save you. Save me? What do you mean? You were riding straight for the tents of my greatest enemy. And though at this moment I would like to kill you myself, I would not let Omer get his hands on you. I would not let that happen to the most miserable of women under my protection. She would be beautiful anymore. I didn't think you'd kill her. I never make a threat I don't intend to keep. You hate me, don't you? Well, I'm not overly fond of you at the moment. Come on, we'd better start back. What are you going to do to me? I'm going to send you back to civilization where you belong. I think you've seen enough of the desert. And I know the desert has seen enough of you. You've been begging and pleading to get back. Well, you shall have your wish. And not your cue to say, I hate you. Oh, no. That's my cue to say. I'm sorry. In just a moment, we will bring you the second act of the sheath.

Follow directions in the folder. Vic Vagranol Nose Drops. And now, the second act of dangerously yours, starring Victor Jory in The Sheet. Oh, don't stop. You have a beautiful voice. I'm afraid I have no heart for singing tonight. Is there anything I can say that will make you forgive me for the death of Zuleka? The horse is dead and the past is past. Let us forget it. I don't blame you for despising me, but if you hadn't brought me out here, it wouldn't have happened. Ahmed, why did you bring me? I don't quite know. I was a little drunk with your beauty, I guess. And not thinking very clearly. I wish it had been because you loved me. I could have respected that. If I had, I think this evening when I caught you that I would have killed you. Come, get your things together. Gaston and the men will be coming. You're sending me away tonight? Yes. I'm sending along an escort of 40 men. They'll take you to the edge of town. Gaston will see you safely to your hotel. I put on the dress you liked. You haven't even noticed. Ah, I'm going to look at them. Diane, let's understand each other. I carried you off because you were beautiful and I wanted you. Now I'm sending you back. I don't want you anymore. Why are you saying these things? Ahmed, what is it? Don't tell me you hate me just because I tried to escape. It's deeper and more bitter than that. Why did you bring me here? I've told you. I'm not satisfied with your reason. It's a stupid reason and you're far from a stupid man. Ahmed, tell me. I have a right to know that you've done a terrible thing to me. A terrible thing? Yes, because you see, I've fallen in love with you. I never wanted love. I was happy as I was until you kissed me. What right did you have to kiss me to storm your way to my heart and then say, forget me. How can I leave and never be happy again? What right do you have to do that to me? The right any man has to cast aside something he has looked upon and found unworthy. Oh, please, Ahmed, that's not fair. Why don't you tell me the truth? Why did you bring me here? All right, I'll tell you. I brought you here because I hate your family. Your father could have saved my mother's life and he refused to do it. And I swore by Allah that some member of the Windsor family would pay for it. I plotted this from the time you came to the desert. I carried you off and made love to you, knowing all the time I was going to cast you aside. And I did it deliberately to humiliate you. That's why I brought you here. Love you. Well, I could love any woman in the world before I could love you. But it's true. So I'm unworthy of you. Well, let me tell you something. You're a fine brave man, aren't you, Shikama Benazan? You exactest stern vengeance of vengeance which breaks the heart of a woman. Well, you won your vengeance. I hope you consider it a proud victory. Well, wait in my tent until Gaston comes for me. But the sooner the better. Well, Mr. Eldrush, right by me, did not see me. She was so angry. You were a bit hard on her, my master. I could not help overhearing. You attend your own business, Gaston. I was only three miles from home when she left me. It did not hurt me to walk. I am too fat anyhow. And you killed the horse yourself. It is not fair to blame her for that. Gaston, I seriously consider hanging you by your thumbs. I should be very uncomfortable hanging by my thumbs. Then keep quiet. But, Defendi, you accomplished your purpose. You humiliated her. Her pride is gone. It is completely gone. Yes. I accomplished my purpose. On the other hand, I knew a man once who cut off his nose. He was never happy without it. Go and get ready. And the quicker you get that girl out of this camp, the happier I'll be. You know what I think? I think you'd love her. Get out of here. You, get out of here. How foolish love can make a wise man. Get out of here. You're mounted and ready to leave. Yes. Diana, I suppose there's no use trying to explain. Explain. You explained yourself quite fully. But I was just talking words. I thought I meant them, but I didn't. Oh, Diane, can't you see that I've fallen in love with you? I wish I could believe that. Oh, I wish I could believe it. I'd get twice the pleasure out of riding away and leaving you. Goodbye. And I hope I never see you again. I don't think you ever will. Goodbye. All right, men, on your way. I'll be sorry that I'll have more. Yes, Gaston, what is it? Gaston, good heaven and earth, covered with blood. What happened? We were attacked by the men of Ibrahim Omer. Attacked? Yes, and they carried her off. The girl, there were at least 100 of them. You must do something, attendee. You must save the girl. Ali, have them. Yes, sir. Assemble the alarm. We ride to the tents of Omer. Faster, men. Faster. Was no time to lose? Come on, faster, faster. So you're the English woman, Mike Kinsman, that she come and stole from her people. There you are, even more exciting to look upon than I had been told. And you're just as repulsive as I'd expect you to be. What? You're not afraid to talk to me like that? I could snap your neck with one twist of my fingers. See? Like this. Yes? Well, at this moment, I don't care if you do. See? Mike Kinsman, the great fool, must have made you unhappy. I shall make him suffer for that. And I, personally, shall make you much happier. Get away from me, you fat clown. Get away from me. Come on, now come to me, my little pigeon. Do not flutter around like that. I do not wish to chase you. Away from me, you filthy beast. So you defy me. Well, I have a cure for that. I have a cure. Suans! There are many horsemen coming. Suans! It's Amid. Oh, dear God, please. It must be Amid. I hope it is. Amid! Amid! Amid! Amid! Keep still. I will choke the worms in your throat. Diane! Diane! Take your hands off your dog. Take your hands off! Amid! You're choking him to death. Amid! You'll never bother you again. Amid, look behind you. Amid! Oh, shit. Amid been a son. It seems we must settle a score for our master. He won't die, Willie. Gaston, he won't die. I do not think so, Manzer. But he's so white. I'm frightened. He's only stunned, Manzer. It was a blow on the head. Water. Water. See? He's all right. He'll my master. Oh, Gaston, I love him so much. I can't help myself. I know, Manzer. I wish I could believe that he loves me. He risked his life for you tonight, Manzer. Yes. He almost gave his life. Diane? Diane? Yes, darling, I'm here. Oh, Amid, Amid, I love you. I love you so much. Oh, my darling, my darling. You're all right, Diane. Yes, Diane, all right. You won't leave me, will you? No. I'll stay as long as you want me to. As long as you need me. I'm sorry, Diane. I mean, I'm sorry about everything. You want to blame for what your father did. I think there's something you should know about my father. You see, Amid, he was the only doctor in this country for a long time. Perhaps. Your father never told you there was an epidemic of typhus in the town at the time. And if he'd left, it might have meant many deaths. I know because he told me the story before he died. He always regretted losing your father's friendship. Oh, I'm glad to know that, Diane. And I'm not going to ask you to forgive me. I haven't any right to forgive me. Darling, there's nothing to forgive, I understand. And I love you. I want to marry you and stay with you. Stay with you always. Oh, my dearest. Once, when I was not in love with you, I would have said stay because I'm lonely. But now I cannot let you stay. You'd be unhappy here. The life we lead is no life for a woman like you. Amid, you're wrong. This is just the life for someone like me. You went to England, but you came back to the desert because you loved it. And so I chose it too. I came to the desert because something stronger than myself came in here. And I belong here just as much as you do. Don't send me away. You shall meet great happiness. Don't take it away from me. Oh, you'll have a devil for a husband. You know my temper. I may even beat you. Arabs do beat their wives on occasion. I can take care of myself. You'll get a few scratches if you try it. And you'll love me more than you'll beat me. Oh, yes, that is certainly true. I will love you more than I'll beat you. And of course I do insist on one thing. You will have only one wife. It is a custom in our country. Only one wife? One? Only one. Not even an extra one? Not one extra. Do you think you can be all to me that sixty wives could be? I'll try. I'm sure you will. Oh, darling, I'm very grateful that you love me and want to stay. Much as I have loved the desert, I don't know that I could go on loving it without you. Listen, someone else is singing our song. Let someone sing it now. That's a sad song and I have no longer any need for it. Or even time for it. With you and my arms. Oh, darling.
