И не знал он проблем своего народа, потому что между королем и его подданными стоял великий визирь Джафар — колдун и интриган. Именно Джафар предложил скучающему правителю заманчивую идею переодеться бедняком и «инкогнито» совершить «познавательную» экскурсию по родному городу. А когда наивный Ахмет последовал совету своего «верного» визиря, коварный Джафар объявил короля сумасшедшим, приказал схватить его и бросить в темницу. В тюрьме Ахмет подружился с мелким воришкой Абу, и они вместе бежали в соседнее королевство. Там царственный изгнанник влюбился в юную принцессу, и принцесса ответила ему взаимностью… Но колдун Джафар решил помешать счастью влюбленных.
