Horace Ventimore, a young London architect, stumbles across an old brass bottle. When he picks it up a genie suddenly appears and promises Horace that he will grant every wish Horace wants in exchange for his freedom. Horace accepts the genie's offer but finds out that things aren't working out quite as well as he thought they would.

"Come back 7,000 years to Haremland with a jazz-genie as guide and a young American as victim of a thousand delights and adventures."
