Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves plot

Ali Baba, a poor Turkish woodcutter, discovers that a robbers' cave hidden in the mountains surrounding his home opens with the magic phrase "Open Sesame." When he learns that the cave is filled with stolen treasure, he takes home as much as he can, but his greedy brother forces him to reveal the location of the cave. After gaining access to the cave, Ali Baba's brother is spotted by the thieves and killed. Meanwhile, Ali Baba falls in love with Morgianna, a slave girl forced to dance at the local inn, and by securing her freedom, he wins her love and loyalty. The leader of the robbers suspects that Ali Baba knows the secret of the treasure cave, and under the guise of an oil merchant, he visits Ali Baba with his forty thieves hidden in oil jars.
