 Based on the  Arabian Nights , this film tells of the Baghdadi woodcutter Alibaba (M. Bose) and his magic  Open Sesame  formula; of the hero s jealous brother Kasim and the slave girl Marjina (S. Bose). The film adapts the 1897 play, giving it a Hollywood-derived exotic flavour. An improvised  modern  dance is inserted. The slow, mannered acting with the frontally framed tableau shots are enlivened by the dance scenes, especially the Marjina-Abdallah sequence.
