Ali-Baba

About the show

Poor wood-chopper Ali-Baba discovers a thieves’ cave that opens with “open sesame” and takes its treasure. His cousin Cassim overhears him, goes to the cave and forgets the magic words; the thieves capture him, but Zizi saves him with a disguise. The thieves’ leader Kandgiar identifies Ali-Baba and tries to attack his home. Morgiane foils the plan by marking neighbouring houses too, then detects the thieves hidden in Ali-Baba’s cellar and alerts the cadi. Kandgiar later arranges a dancer’s attempt on Ali-Baba’s life, but Morgiane saves him again. Cassim returns to his former life, Ali-Baba asks to marry Morgiane, and Zizi is forgiven.
