Synopsis

Plot

Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a young boy named Aladdin. He lived in a small cottage with the widow Twanky not far from the Sultan's palace. The Sultan had a very beautiful daughter and it was Aladdin's dream that one day he would be able to marry her and live in a palace of great beauty. One day a knock came to the door and when Aladdin answered it, he found a magician standing there with a magic ring. Now this magician was both evil and greedy and he knew that hidden in some nearby caves was a lamp with far more power than his little ring.
'Help me dear Aladdin' said the evil magician. Please go to the caves and find an old rusty lamp which I lost there many years ago. Now Aladdin was not that stupid to fall for this, but made his mind up to visit the caves anyhow.
