Two charming thieves get into trouble in Syria, which is under Roman rule, and take refuge in a Jew's house. His daughter falls in love with one of them, and they all end up in prison, condemned to death, but they are saved when the Roman Consul recognizes one of the thieves as his long lost son.
Sword of Damascus is an amusing mix of sword/Arabian romp and comedy - I found the one liners -in the English dubbed version - quite funny. There's an air of joviality and it's like a non-stop farce. It comes across like those Universal Studio adventures of the '50's. Tony Russel shows some comic flair and energy as the thief fallen for the heroine and Lucianna Gilli plays the heroine. Good fun.
