Mârouf, savetier du Caire
The henpecked cobbler Mârouf joins sailors to travel to Khaïtân, where he pretends to be a rich merchant expecting a caravan. The sultan offers him his daughter Saamcheddine, who falls in love with him. When the deception is uncovered, Mârouf flees with the princess. They find a ring that gives him power over a magician, who makes the promised caravan real. The sultan pardons Mârouf and allows the couple to marry.
