Margherita, an Italian girl, comes to America to avenge the murder of her fiancé by the mysterious Cardi.
A Bird of Bagdad Synopsis
"Caliph" Quigg runs a cheap restaurant by day and a seeker of adventure by night. Ed Simmons and Bill Hillman are two hard-working employees of Ogden, a prosperous harness maker. Laura, the harness-maker's daughter, is the object of both their affections. Laura has ideas of her own regarding a prospective husband but dares not communicate them to her father, fearing the harness strap. She is only a kid and should not be dreaming of husbands. Her dad is insane on the subject of riddles and when the question of which she shall choose for a husband is broached he asks the following riddle: "What kind of a hen lays the longest?" Get O. Henry's answer in the snappiest of climaxes.
"Fair Lady" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Bird of Bagdad" offers its own unique cult appeal.
