Kip. 39: Burning Oasis

39

Sinbad and his friend arrive at an oasis with a village, only to find the water gone and the settlement abandoned. When Sinbad and Ali Baba try digging for water, they discover a crude oil deposit instead. Ali Baba stubbornly keeps digging, thereby inadvertendly freeing an Oil Genie who admits that he was the one drying up the oasis in order to sleep undisturbed, and threatens to turn them into coal if they do not correct the situation. Sinbad sets the oil on fire to surprise the Genie into releasing Ali Baba, but the enraged Genie traps them. However, the heat from the burning oil creates a sandstorm which extinguishes the flames and buries the Genie. With his power broken, the water returns to the oasis. (Source: Wikipedia)
