Plot edit

The literary characters magically come to life during a midnight adventure. It unfolds with travel agency brochures, followed by a lively song and crime plot. As a globe spins, it reveals the agency's window decorated with posters of different countries. A catchy song plays as the ads come to life. The song playfully mentions various foods, leading to humorous references to places like Hungary, Turkey, and the Sandwich Islands.

Then the Thief of Bagdad uses the Florida Keys to break into a diamond mine, only to pawn them with the Pawnee Indians. He is pursued by soldiers and police from different nations but finds an unexpected ally in the Lone Stranger, enabling his escape.
