 An Arabian boy, Abdullah, loves his donkey "Bim." But another boy, Massoud, who also happens to be prince, is jealous of Abdullah and his relationship with "Bim." So Massoud steals "Bim" and plays mean tricks on him, like painting him and trying to cut his ears off. Abdullah tries to rescue "Bim," but is caught by the guards and is imprisoned within the palace. Realizing Abdullah s love for his donkey, Massoud becomes ashamed of his meanness, and frees "Bim" and Abdullah. However, "Bim" eats Massoud s father s luncheon, and is taken to the butcher. Abdullah and Massoud try to rescue "Bim" from the butcher, but robbers get there first and steal "Bim" along with the butcher s goods. The robbers escape to the sea, and Abdullah and Massoud stage one last rescue attempt with all of their friends to try to save "Bim."
