Curious about the golden lamp, Aladdin rubs the lamp and unleashes an all-powerful Genie, who introduces himself as a friend unlike any other (much to Aladdin's surprised). Inside, Abu reveals he has stolen the lamp back. The cave dissolves and Aladdin is trapped inside. Abu bites the man's hand, causing him to drop Aladdin. But after handing the lamp to the old man, Aladdin is nearly stabbed by the man. He tries to escape but needs help from the old man, who demands the lamp first. Aladdin and his monkey hop on the Magic Carpet and make their escape, but Carpet is taken down by a falling boulder, leaving Aladdin hanging right in front of the exit.
Just as Aladdin obtains the lamp, Abu grabs one of the forbidden treasures, causing the cave to shake violently. Inside the cave, the two meet a magic flying carpet that leads them to the lamp. At the cave's entrance, Aladdin and Abu are warned not to touch anything but the lamp. Aladdin and Abu meet an old man (who is actually Jafar in disguise) and inform Aladdin of the Cave of Wonders and claims they will be greatly rewarded for retrieving the legendary magic lamp. In the dungeon, Abu scolds Aladdin for interacting with a princess as the monkey frees his master. Razoul explains he is doing his job under the orders of Jafar taking Aladdin away. The girl reveals herself to be Princess Jasmine and demands his freedom.
They attempt to escape, but Aladdin runs into the lead guard Razoul, who captures him. Back at Aladdin's home, he and the girl become more comfortable with each over eventually about to lead into a kiss until the guards burst in to arrest Aladdin. She plays along and the two escape right on time. Aladdin rescues the girl claiming that she is his sister and a little crazy. The girl has just given an apple to a young boy and the peddler spots this and threatens to chop her arm off if she refuses to pay. The next morning Aladdin and Abu are having breakfast when he spots a beautiful girl. All the same, Aladdin keeps faith that he will someday be rich and live in a palace. Discouraged, Aladdin and Abu head for home as night falls. Aladdin is kicked into the mud and insulted by the prince. Later Aladdin spots other citizens watching a snooty prince heading for the castle as a suitor for the beautiful Princess Jasmine and defends the orphans as they are nearly whipped for running in front of his horse. When Aladdin first appears, he has stolen a loaf of bread, and after outwitting and escaping the guards with the help from Abu, the two generously hand their earned food to two young orphans. He spends most of his days escaping the guards.
