In a village in the Arabian Desert, a band of knife-wielding thieves want revenge. In a secret cave, Ali Baba has stumbled across their stolen treasure and now the bloodthirsty bandits are on his trail. How will the poor woodcutter outwit forty thieves all on his own? Ali Baba is going to need luck on his side; either that, or the help of a very clever friend...
