There he meets Badriya again and discovers that she is engaged to her cousin Diab, which sparks jealousy and animosity between Mehoub and Diab. The two lovers secretly marry at the home of Sheikh Fadel, the tribe's official, but Diab harasses Mehoub and kills him, fleeing the scene. The tribe's horsemen pursue him, while the sheikh falls into a dangerous situation on a desert road. Fate sends Mehoub to the sheikh's rescue at the critical moment.
