Synopsis:

Ali Gerry Gee and Blaskett Al Tisket A’ Tasket arrive in Bhagdad where they meet the beggar Pasha and witness the arrival of Caliph Rashid El Mocca, who is betrothed to the Sheik’s daughter, Princess Fatima. But to the distress of the Sheik and the Begum, Princess Fatima has disappeared from the royal palace. Gerry Gee befriends Fatima at the bazaar and she gives Gerry half of her locket. She returns to the Palace and is presented to the Caliph, but refuses to marry him. Insulted, the Caliph secretly commands his magician, Abou Hassan, to cast a spell over the ungrateful girl. Meanwhile we learn that Ahmed, the Lord High Chamberlain, is plotting to marry his daughter Badoura to the Caliph instead. Ahmed conspires with the the Caliph to add a poison pill to the princess’s drink. Fatima drinks the potion and, like the Sleeping Beauty, collapses into a slumber from which she cannot be woken. The Sheik issues a proclamation seeking anyone who can wake the princess, but to no avail. Ali Gerry Gee, Blaskett Al Tisket A’ Tasket and Pasha go to the palace to try their luck at waking the princess. Gerry realises that the locket he was given by the girl at the bazaar matches the one worn by the princess. The princess wakes to the joy of everyone and Gerry Gee is named her prince charming. Gerry and the princess marry.
