The Great Gold Robbery

The Great Gold Robbery is the fourth episode of Arabian Knights. It first aired 28 September 1968 on NBC.
== Summary ==
At the town's treasury, Vangore and his men, under direct orders of the evil sultan Bakaar, concealed their faces, snuck in, subdued the guards, and took all the gold. Vangore told one of the guards tied up that it was Prince Turhan and the Arabian Knights that did this. 
Afterwards in the palace, Vangore informs his master of their success, which pleases Bakaar greatly, especially once he tells the town citizens about their missing tax money. He tells the captain to move the stolen gold to his stronghold. Suddenly, the fountain started to sparkle and was revealed to be Fariik eavesdropping to learn the truth, and with what he just heard, he went back to the Caves of Doom to tell the others of this robbery. Inside the Knights headquarters, they now know Bakaar shall try to move the gold out of Baghdad, so they head there to retrieve it. 
Once they arrive, they notice the caravan and ask the driver about what's in the chests. When he refused to answer, they engage in battle. Bez says his transformation phrase, "Size of an elephant," turns into one, and charges at the other elephant then de- transformed back into human form. Archers prepare to fire, but with Princess Nida alerting Fariik, he says a magic word "Bim Shalla Batoharr," and sticks their bows so they will not be able to shoot. With the soldiers incapacitated, Raseem slams their heads together to knock them out. The princess is taken by the enemy, so the strongman uses his strength to slow them, so the prince can leap onto a chest and kick the soldiers off. When they look inside, they find the chests empty, and that the elephants were only decoys to trick them while the gold was on the camels. The magician says another magic word, "Rosan Floatar," to call upon the elephants robes for transport. 
While in the air, they spot the camels and dive down into Bakaar's stronghold caves, but before they can begin to search for the stolen gold, two of the guards notice and summon the vultures to start their master's trap. The vultures drop rocks, and when the Knights run for cover, they are sealed in. It is too much for even Raseem to move, so the beast shouts another transformation phrase, "Size of a Buffalo," morphs into one, and tries to ram the boulder, but de-transformed back into human form after no avail. Once Zazuum's carpet finally descends, he looks around for his friends, only to find the soldiers, but the faithful donkey soon attacks and frees the Knights when his tail has been pulled. He discovers where the town's gold is by kicking a loose wall open, but Vangore and his men confront them and and brawl. Bez says another transformation phrase, "Size of a Lion," and changes into one to frighten the guards away then de-transformed back into human form; two of the guards throw spears at the prince, but he dodges and kicks a stalactite on them, giving Fariik an idea. He says another magic word, "Alakazar," to drop another stalactite on the other guard, while Raseem throws and knocks down the rest of the soldiers. The Knights float back to Baghdad and drop the city's gold on the people, overjoying them and enraging the black sultan after Vangore came back and told him what happened while weak on his knees. They laugh while flying back to their lair.
