    Where to Watch

A son of royalty tries to regain the throne. Lucille Ball, Patricia Medina, John Agar, Raymond Burr. Gazi: George Tobias. Lew Landers directed.

Routine Arabian Nights-type of tale starring Agar as a deposed prince trying to free his people from the evil rule of the caliph and his vizier, played by Burr. Agar enlists the aid of harem girl Ball (in her last film before "I Love Lucy" hit the airwaves) and together they win back the province, while zipping around on a flying carpet. Good cast and typically professional direction by veteran Landers make this one easy to sit through.
