Their main task is to interview the Sultan, but just before the great ordeal, Lee decides that he wants to look at some curios, so Eddie has to go ahead to see the Sultan alone. At the palace he is well received by the Sultan, and is shown the harem. In the harem there is one girl, Nita, who particularly makes an impression on Eddie. And the strange part of it is, that just as he is going out, she slips a note in his hand, saying that she is held captive, and asking for help. So Eddie makes Lee dress up like a girl, and to the Sultan they go. He is at once struck by her beauty and asks Eddie his price. Eddie says that he is reluctant to part with her, but is willing to exchange her for Nita. The Sultan balks at this, but finally they agree to toss for the two girls on the heads-I-win-tails-you-lose basis. Of course, Eddie quickly strips the Sultan of the girls and soon has the harem, and even the throne. In the meanwhile, Lee, in the costume of a dancing girl, has fallen into trouble in the harem, when they discover his true sex, and one of the attendants is after him with a knife. Eddie at once pardons his friend, and after picking out a good-looking girl for Lee, they leave, after explaining to the Sultan that the heads-I-win-tails-you-lose game works only one way.
