Two men and a woman meet at an opium den. Some time later, the three of them find themselves coincidentally on a boat to Tunis, along wih a couple of other men. By the time they get to their goal, they are all friends. The men go on a trip into the souk, where one of them commits an outrage, removing the veil from a young woman, then knocking down her father when he tries to defend them. He curses them with death, death by the next full moon, and in the order of outrage.
I looked at a Pathe-baby cutdown of this movie; I can't figure out the original time, but it was at least twice as long as the 23-minute version I saw. There seems to be little time for anything but the plot points. Given this is listed as a comedy, there were probably a few light-hearted japes in it. None now survive, although the ending is pretty amusing given the set-up.
