Sinbad's group rests at an oasis when a palace appears, welcoming them to Princess Manart and her family. Ali Baba and Manart fall in love, but the friends discover the palace is cursed to disappear at the next dawn for another hundred years due to the inhabitants' presumption in asking Allah for immortality. Although Ali Baba decides to stay, Manart ends their relationship because she realizes he belongs with his friends. The palace vanishes at sunrise, leaving Ali Baba heartbroken. This episode uses the legend of Brigadoon as its setting's template.
