One evening as King Abbas tries to eat his dinner, his fish begins to hop around his dish -- a sign that there are hungry people in the kingdom. And so disguised as a beggar, King Abbas slips out of his palace and shares his dinner with three poor ordinary men -- or so they seem. But, in fact, each has a magical power and a dangerous plan to use it. The king appears to get caught up in their scheme -- but he really has a surprise plan of his own tucked up his sleeve.
