content

Vizier al-Fadl Ibn Chakan in Basra is supposed to get Caliph Muhammad Ibn Suleiman al-Seinabi a slave for a lot of money. Finally one has been found, it's called Anis al-Jalis. Vizier's son Nuraddin deflowers it, the father can only give it to him so that the caliph will not notice. After his death, Nuraddin wasted all of his fortune. Anis al-Jalis is auctioned. The evil vizier al-Muin Ibn Sawi comes along and buys them for nothing. Nuraddin pretends to have made it appear. When the vizier exposes him, he beats him up. He complains to the caliph. Nuraddin and Anis al-Jalis have to flee to Baghdad. There the gardener pityingly lets her into the castle. You drink the last of your money and drink it. The Caliph of Baghdad sees the light and is angry when his vizier Jaafar tries to explain it as a circumcision ceremony, but disguises himself as a fisherman. He gives Nuraddin a letter appointing him as Caliph of Basra. Vizier al-Muin Ibn Sawi locks him up instead, he should be beheaded. At the last moment, Jaafar follows. The evil vizier is beheaded. You live happily.
