Il ladro di Bagdad (1924)
Ahmed, un ladro spericolato, penetra nel palazzo del Califfo di Bagdad alla ricerca di un forziere d'oro, ma si ritrova nella camera da letto di una principessa di cui si innamora a prima vista. Il giorno dopo ruba abiti sfarzosi al bazaar per unirsi a un drappello di tre principi appena giunti in città per chiedere la mano della principessa. Tuttavia la situazione precipita con l'invasione dei feroci mongoli che si impadroniscono della città, ma alla fine sarà proprio Ahmed a liberare la sua città. Tra i film più costosi dell'epoca, Il ladro di Bagdad è una favolosa combinazione di avventura, esotismo e fantasia, capace di guardare alla tradizione orientale abbinandovi la fisicità straripante di Fairbanks e la solida energia di Walsh
