Damascus is governed by the fierce tyrant Baktiar, who will be forced to give up his throne once his daughter Jamila will be married. As Jamila falls in love with the mysterious Hassan, Baktiar will try in every way to prevent their marriage.
According to the book Il grande cinema fantasy it is "a typical adventure B-movie, especially interesting for its fantasy elements, which is damaged by the presence of comic elements that do not bind enough with the rest." The film still gained recognition for sporting particularly elaborate sets and costumes.
Johnny Jones (Brent) is a penniless newspaper reporter assigned to interview Daisy Appleby (Davis), heiress to the Appleby Facial Creams fortune and the target of numerous suitors anxious to latch onto her wealth. What neither they nor Johnny know is that she is really a cafeteria cashier hired by a public relations team to impersonate the socialite.
She proposes a marriage of convenience that will free her from the cads pursuing her so she can find her ideal man and allow Johnny leisure time to finish his novel. He agrees, and after they wed the company's board of directors try to place him under their control, as well. When Johnny rebels and begins dating oil heiress Hortense Burke-Meyers in retaliation, Daisy, who realizes she truly loves him, tries to win him back by having her brother-in-law Alfred Parker impersonate an old beau in an effort to make Johnny jealous.
Antonio Margheriti's The Golden Arrow
Margheriti's The Golden Arrow is a vehicle for VFX fun, and it is mostly just that. A more fantastically inclined peplum, this film is comfortable and generally bemusing. Seemingly one of the more liked films of Margheriti from the 1960s.
