''to be | [[Ala ud-Din]] has been imprisoned in a [[cave]] by his [[uncle]], the [[Vizier (The Nobility of Faith)|Vizier]], who plans to [[Marriage|marry]] Ala ud-Din's love, [[Badroulbadour]]. When [[the TARDIS]] materialises in the cave, Ala ud-Din thinks the Doctor is a [[Djinn (mythology)|djinni]] and asks for three wishes. His wishes happen to coincide with what the Doctor needs to do anyway, so his efforts to convince Ala ud-Din that he isn't a djinni fail. | ||
The Doctor is searching for an [[alien]], who happens to be the Vizier. He defeats the alien, sending him back where he belongs, and Ala ud-Din is free to marry Badroulbadour. | |||
