Shalom the Interpreter

Overview

An American tourist and his daughter, Betty, arrive in Alexandria, where they meet Shalom, a lottery-ticket vendor who pretends to be an interpreter despite knowing no English. Mistaking him for a genuine translator, the tourist and his daughter hire Shalom as their guide. When the tourist expresses a desire to go on a desert hunting expedition, one of the local pashas offers to take him along, leaving Betty behind with Shalom, who convinces himself that she has fallen in love with him.
