L'Upupa und der Triumph der Sohnesliebe

About the show

Al Radshi sends his three sons to find his vanished golden hoopoe, but only the honest Al Kasim undertakes the quest. With a demon’s help, he finds the bird, rescues a captive princess, and obtains a magic chest. His jealous brothers push him and the princess into a well and claim his achievements, but the pair are rescued and the brothers expelled. Al Kasim must complete another quest before he can marry the princess, and the ending leaves their union unresolved.
