action
Aladin lives in Baghdad . Only in his dreams is he powerful and rich. His mother gives him a lamp so that he can find his way around in the dark. On the run from traders - he keeps himself afloat with petty thefts - he discovers the secret of the lamp: a genie lives in it and grants him three wishes; he uses the first to escape the traders. On a trip to the wedding of Prince Moluk with Zaina, on which his friends Omar and Djalma accompany him, the caravan they are traveling with is ambushed; Aladin and Omar are captured by an Amazon troop. Thanks to the jinn, they escape.
In Basora, Moluk has meanwhile been eliminated by his evil rival, the Grand Vizier - Zaira is now to marry him. Aladin and Omar are able to uncover the game, but must use their last wish to defeat the supporters of the fiercely fighting Grand Vizier. Aladin is rewarded with wealth and djalma by the happily united royal couple.

Reviews
"The story of Aladin and his magic lamp as an adventure film skilfully handled with trickery, sometimes with grotesque features."
"Aladdin's adventure is a concoction that defies description ... If you are looking for a film to send your children to, be warned: a large part of this film is only for adult children."
