[edit] Plot

The Stooges are warehouse workers who are assigned to delivering some Arabian antiques for a Mr. Bradley (Vernon Dent). While unpacking the goods at Mr. Bradley's house, Shemp stumbles upon a magic lamp that he, at first, dubs a "syrup pitcher." After giving the lamp a cleaning, a genie appears (Wesley Bly), startling Shemp. Calling the genie "genius," the Stooges are pursued two Arabian thugs (Philip Van Zandt, Dick Curtis) who are after the magic lamp.

The Stooges watch in disbelief as the "genius" of the lamp magically appears in Three Arabian Nuts.
