Trudging through the snow, Felix does not look happy, especially when he sees a big billboard advertising "See Egypt - Land Of Sunshine And Warmth."
"I'd give four of my lives to be there," he tells us (through comic-strip-type dialog since this is a silent movie). Felix then moves on, shivering before stopping at "Abdul Ahmed's" antique store when he hears someone loudly crying inside. It's the store owner, who laments "I just got word that my sweetheart in Egypt is in the Shiek's clutches." ("Shiek" is a title you only seem to hear in the silent movie era.)
Felix spots a magic carpet in the store and tells the owner, "Don't worry. I'll go to Egypt and rescue her!" He says the magic word (after missing the first time) and off he goes!
This whole story is totally implausible but, hey, that's a cartoon for you. In here, Felix can translate hieroglyphics, find a note by the captive "Fatima" in the first 20 seconds upon arrival in Egypt, talk to a camel, have the camel drink the entire Nile river and much more!
I loved the dancing mouse and poor Felix's attempts at trying to get the huge Fatima on the magic carpet. The ending is very unpredictable and funny. Obese people would not think this is humorous.
This cartoon was part of a collection of in the "Presenting Felix The Cat - The Otto Messmer Classics - 1919-1924" DVD, with original organ score by Dave Wickersham.
