poor. For his generosity he is blamed by his elder brother and his
avaricious wife who drives him out to live separately with his mother.

girl. He is unable to prevent the bond of slavery being cast on
Marjinaa in spite of best efforts.

uttered. After the horsemen have left. Alibaba goes to the cave and
utters the same magic words.

gold and silver coins and comes home. His mother goes to his brother's
house to bring the scales for weighing the coins, His suspicious
sister-in-law sends the scales with wax attached only to discover a

brother Qasim who goes to the cave next day. But is ill-luck would have
it, the thieves find him out and kill and cut his body into five
pieces. Alibaba brings the pieces of the dead body home and the clever
Marjinaa arranges for the five pieces to the joined by a cobbler.
The Haakim is holding the public to ransom with a reign of terror and
mi's-rule. There is no justice. Alibaba with the help of Marjinaa
teaches the Haakim a good lesson only to face his wrath. The robbers
are also after Alibaba. Ultimately with the help of clever Marjinaa.
