The Thief arranges sub missiles to be launched as a diversion for the Super Friends. At the Hall of Justice, only the Wonder Twins are with the lamp. The Thief has the genie capture the twins and place them in the lamp's world. The kingdom's sultan asks the Super Friends for help, when the Thief returns and uses the genie to attack. The Thief captures the sultan into the lamp, and then Superman. In the lamp's world, the twins, the sultan and Superman find animated trees and an illusion of a lava wall. Outside, using Wonder Woman as a belly dancer distraction, the Super Friends try getting the lamp, but they are captured and prepared for a tortuous death. The sultan explains how to escape the lamp, and Superman then handles the genie while the twins rescue the others.
