Jafar was confined into a magical lamp because of his evil inclination. While in the lamp, he swore revenge at Sinbad who had bound him with the curse. As time passed, Sinbad was to become the son-in-law of the king, Sultan Markarfi. While the preparation was underway, a marauding band attacked the city and stole from the king’s vault an enormous amount of gold. Sinbad had to pursue the band and retrieved the gold, one of the thieves in a bid to escape ran into a cave and found the lamp. He was happy to find a lamp that had a genie in it, believing that all his wish would come true. But Jafar deceived him and sent him to the desert to die. Jafar managed to find his way to the city and unleashed the power of a genie on the land making the sky blood red. Sinbad was captured and the freed genie Aserta was no match for Jafar. But with the help of the Sedina, Sinbad’s bride to be and his flying carpet, they were able to outwit Jafar and sent him back into the lamp ending his evil dominance.
