The Thief of Bagdad is a Silent Movie from 1924 loosely based on stories from One Thousand and One Nights.

It is about a thief from Baghdad who falls in love with the daughter of the Caliph, and pretends to be a prince in order to marry her. He subsequently goes on adventures to find a treasure in order to prove his worthiness.

It stars Douglas Fairbanks, and was directed by Raoul Walsh. Not to be confused with the 1940 remake.
