The Last Night of Scheherazade

When the two ex-hunters then meet a dragon in the arid wasteland, Scheherezade tells the new caliph that she can not tell the story as long as he carries the magic ring on his finger. Desiring to learn the further events, Jaffar puts it aside, whereupon Scheherezade tells him that Princess Esmagül who is standing behind him, is to take possession of the miracle ring. Those threatened by the dragon immediately wish themselves back and Jaffar is turned into a vile lizard to be thrown to the animals. Unwanted by Esmagül, the ring later returns to the possession of Maruf, who then flies with the princess on the back of the giant jinn to his homeland. On the way Esmagül is kidnapped by Tiuli-Kos. However, the jinn, exhausted by the many wishes, can not bring her back, so he deposes Maruf with his last strength near the kidnapper's town. Alone, the shoemaker arrives there, with the intention of liberating his princess.

With the help of the liberated Saeed, who was captured for seeking his lover, also stolen for the harp of the ancient Tiuli-Kos, Maruf disguises himself as a famous physician and thus gains access to the palace of Tiuli-Kos. He lets Esmagül take a soporific herbal drink, bringing the lifeless beauty, who has been found dead, into the desert. After Esmagül was awakened from her sleep by Maruf, the recovering jinn flies the two lovers to the shoemaker's hometown, where they spend their lives in joy and happiness. The slaves of the harem are also cheerful and happy, because the jinn helps bring them back to their freedom at their request.
