When the Wazir of Baghdad decides it is time for a new wife, Ali Oopla, his servant, begins a search for suitable candidates.

The Wazir hopes to marry his two daughters, Boobiana and Saccharine, off as the latest wives of the Sultan, the richest man in the world. However, he'll need to raise a dowry, and that could involve selling Ali to become a galley slave!

Ali is initially less than concerned when his master is captured for ransom or slavery by thieves operating on behalf of a foreign ruler — until, that is, he is reminded of the law decreeing the death of a slave upon the loss of his master!

When the Caliph expresses his desire to take Saccharine as his latest wife, Ali is entasked with finding the innocent girl a new husband first.
