Excerpts from a ballet in three acts, danced to music by Aleksandr Glazunov. These excerpts focus on the character Abdul-Rakhman, a Saracen warrior whose exotic and dangerous persona both attracts and repels the heroine Raymonda. The excerpts, which contain some repetition and occasionally appear out of sequence, include a solo by Abdul-Rakhman; his broadsword duel with Raymonda's lover Jean de Brienne, which begins with their entry on artificial warhorses (filmed twice, more fully the second time); and numerous scenes demonstrating Raymonda's simultaneous attraction and repulsion.

Excerpts from a ballet in two acts, danced to music by Adolphe Adam. The Act I excerpts end before the arrival of the hunting party; Act II excerpts, focusing on the two principal dancers, run to the end of the ballet.
