ALADDIN AND HIS MAGIC LAMP
The
Story
Princess
Baldroubadour has come of age and the Emperor and Empress of Pekin
have sent word that all eligible men of worth are invited to try
and win her hand. Many Princes of far away lands offer her fame
and fortune but it is the heartfelt plea of Aladdin that wins
the princess over. But alas, Aladdin is but a poor lad with no
riches or glory. Fate steps in when Aladdin's uncle Abanazar offers
to give him great riches if he accompanies him on a hunt for treasure.
Aladin and his mother - the Widow Twankey, follow Abanazar to
a hidden cave wherein lies many jewels and bags of gold. Abanazar
is only interested in an old lamp but Aladdin is overcome by all
the riches. Abanazar, in a huff seals the cave and disappears
leaving Aladdin trapped inside. Aladdin comes across the lamp,
rubs it and the Slave of the Lamp appears. With his help, Aladdin
is transported back to Pekin with all his riches.
Aladdin attends the Emperor's court and brings forth his riches.
Baldroubadour and Aladdin are engaged and surely a happy life
is before them. But Abanazar appears and spirits the palace away!
Aladdin engages the Slave of the Lamp to return things to normal
and in short order the wedding is back on.
