- Rube (Rube Miller) and Ben (Ben Turpin), in charge of the castle poultry, learn that their ducks and geese have been changed into beautiful harem bathing beauties by the waters in a magical pool in a mysterious oriental palace. Then mysterious things begin to happen that draw the wrath of the emperor.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- Rube and Ben are neighbors; one raises ducks on one side of their line fence and the other has a flock of geese on the other. They are caught flirting with a pretty girl by their wives and are warned to attend to their ducks and geese. They go to their respective homes and get water for their fowls but quarrel and throw all of it at each other. The ducks and geese each send a representative through the fence to look for water to quench their thirst. In a nearby part of town lives a wealthy Turk who is engaged in securing wives to fill the harem of his Sultan. Into the Oriental splendor of the Turk's place of abode the duck and goose strut and there they find a pool of refreshing water. They hasten back to tell the rest of their flocks, but not until Rube and Ben have followed them to the place and behold a wonderful sight. The water in the pool has been treated with a magic liquid and when the duck and goose jump in they are turned into two beautiful maidens. When Rube and Ben try to seize the damsels they change back into a duck and a goose. Rube and Ben are ejected from the magnificent residence and hasten home, liberating their ducks and geese, which they drive back to the Turk's home. The fowls waddle into the pool and a multitude of laughing girls replace them as the magic spell works. Rube and Ben creep in stealthily, capture the Turk, and lock him in a huge chest, while they romp with girls. The Turks favorite appears and flirts with the two truant husbands. Rube and the favorite sit together on the top of the chest in which the Turk is hidden. The Turk regains his senses, finds a brace and bit, which have been left in the bottom of the chest, and starts boring. Freeing himself he dashes out. Excitement reigns and a wild fight starts between Rube, Ben, the Sultan and several policemen who have been summoned by an attendant. All is in the midst of chaos when Rube and Ben fall into the magic pool and are awakened from the slumber into which they have fallen by the water thrown upon them by their vigilant wives.—Moving Picture World synopsis
