Thanks to taking a few too many pages right out of "Arabian Nights" this tiny piece of childish mess or should I say -these pieces- for you see that unambitious ultra light entertainment was originally meant as two different pilots for an unsold Sabu television series lazyingly drags on all for nothing.
Slave boy Sabu (played by...Sabu) finds a magical ring inside his sleazy master's stable (Peter Mamakos) from which pops up a Babylon tower sized genie (William Marshall). Our villainous master is eager to get his greedy little hands on this magical ornament in hopes of taking over the kingdom as Grand Caliph. With the help of his fruit selling good friend (Daria Massey) Sabu sets out to protect their realm.
One glaring issue this particular semi-motion picture has besides Sabu still portraying the same character he portrayed as a small child some twenty years back which holds a certain uncanny valley feeling to it is it's cheap sets (stacks of pale cardboard) and costumes (small chunks of colorful cloth). Everything else is quite average - acting, "cinematography", effects, and the lot. Hokey describes it best unfortunately so since this could have been a pleasant sendoff for Sabu's standard movie role.
