Cole Porter's version of the story of Aladdin--his only musical written especially for television
This is the story from the fairy tales of 1001 nights. Aladdin finds an old lamp and discovers when he cleans it that a ghost was imprisoned inside. Gladly to be free the ghost accepts Aladdin as his master and fulfills all his wishes. Thus Aladdin's lamp attracts not only friends of his.—Volker Boehm
