In order to win her hand in marriage, Aladdin must pretend that he is something other than what he actually is. Arrested after being caught with a stolen loaf of bread he is put in a cave where he finds a magic lamp and a genie who helps him win the hand of the Princess and his freedom from the lamp.

The original story of Aladdin is of a poor young man named Aladdin  who is recruited by a sorcerer called Maghreb. Maghreb passes himself off as the brother of Aladdin's dead father. After the sorcerer attempts to double-cross him, Aladdin finds himself trapped in the cave. Fortunately, Aladdin retains a magic ring  lent to him by the sorcerer. When he rubs his hands in despair, he inadvertently rubs the ring, and a genie appears, who takes him home to his mother. Aladdin is still carrying the lamp, and when his mother tries to clean it, a second, far more powerful genie appears, who is bound to do the bidding of the person holding the lamp. With the aid of the genie of the lamp, Aladdin becomes rich and powerful and marries princess Badroulbadour  the emperor's daughter. illustration by Virginia Frances Sterret, 1928, shows the Chinese-esque setting of the original tale.
The sorcerer returns and is able to get his hands on the lamp by tricking Aladdin's wife, who is unaware of the lamp's importance, by offering to exchange "new lamps for old". He orders the genie of the lamp to take the palace to his home in the Maghreb. Fortunately, Aladdin retains the magic ring and is able to summon the lesser genie. Although the genie of the ring cannot directly undo any of the magic of the genie of the lamp, he is able to transport Aladdin to Maghreb, and help him recover his wife and the lamp and defeat the sorcerer.
