Synopsis:
Professor Nichols summons Superman to rescue Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, whom he has sent to ancient Bagdad. Bruce and Dick, as Batman and Robin, have located a magnetic meteorite, which has prevented their return to the present. They are rescued by and befriend Aladdin, whose fortune was stolen by Abdullah. They agree to help the boy regain his fortune.

Superman arrives in the past and pretends to be a genii. He obeys the commands of Robin in order to trick Abdullah into returning Aladdin’s fortune. Abdullah double-crosses the heroes and kidnaps Robin. Batman rescues him and gathers evidence that Abdullah is the leader of the 40 thieves. The Caliph of Bagdad arrests Abdullah and returns the stolen fortune to Aladdin. Superman, Batman, and Robin then return to the present.
