Plot
Sach buys a magic lamp containing a Genie. A group of gangsters see the boys using the lamp and steal it. However, the boys had made a wish that only the Slip and Sach could request wishes from the Genie so he is unable to grant the gangsters wishes. The gangsters decide that if the two of them were dead then the Genie would have no choice but to obey their commands. The Genie has taken a liking to the boys and helps them escape, but they are transported to Baghdad where the rightful master of the lamp resides. With Slip and Sach no longer in control of the lamp, the master commands the Genie to "send them back whence they came". Back in their normal surroundings, the Genie reappears, feeling sorry for them, and grants them one more wish. Sach says, "I wish I had the nerve to sock him (Slip) in the chin," which the Genie grants.
