Synopsis:
Thieves falls out when a brass imitation of an antique Persian lamp is mistaken for a magic lamp containing a geni that grants the owner his greatest desires. After stealing half a million dollars in antiques, three crooks kill a gypsy thief and the geni appears before them. Lamont and Margot stop at a filling station when their car is out of gas and stumble upon the bodies. The Shadow questions one of the surviving crooks to learn that the geni of the lamp was responsible. Further investigation leads to the identity of the geni — a giant-sized sideshow performer hired by Beckhardt to help eliminate his associates so he can keep all the money. After shooting the geni, Beckhardt discovers Margot with the geni’s ring and attempts to eliminate her. The Shadow arrives to save Margot and hold Beckhardt for the police.
