Style:
Full-length British pantomime - jokes, slapstick, that sort of thing. One scene is a bit bloodthirsty, but the authors provide an alternative in the Producer's Copy of the script!
Synopsis:
Ali Baba overhears the thieves password to get into their treasure cave. Unfortunately for him, the thieves find out and sneak after him disguised as oil jars! (Fortunately for Ali, the thieves are rather incompetent and, for many years, have stolen little but tea!)
