Overview
Seetha and Harold Berger are rescued from the desert by a caravan and brought to a small village. However, the greedy owner of the house where they are lodged betrays the law of hospitality and reveals their location to Prince Ramigani. The couple tries to escape but is hunted and captured by Ramigani and his men. Meanwhile Irene Rhode and her husband Walter Rhode suspect that Maharaja Chandra is not telling the truth about Harold’s destiny. The conspirator Ramigani forces Seetha to accept to get married with Chandra to provoke the wrath of the priests and get the alliance of Prince Padhu and his army. In the meantime, Harold succeeds in escaping from the dungeon and seeks out Seetha to save her.

Viewing Notes
Was able to finish this epic two-parter after returning from ABQ. This was more action-oriented than the previous movie and I welcomed that to improve the pacing. Not necessarily a better movie and to be fair it’s really one 4 hour film split in two parts. My comments from the first movie apply to this one as well, naturally.
I’d really like to know what Debra Paget had to say about wearing that glued on, barely a costume for the super provocative dance number. Holy smokes that could not have been fun to do or film for her (she looks uncomfortable during that scene or she’s just really good acting since she’s supposed to be uncomfortable?).
