== Summary ==
At a waterhole Raseem and Zazuum collect some refreshments for the others until they’ve noticed Vangore and his band of desert rats surrounding them. The captain ordered the two to give up but when they refused his warriors attacked so Raseem counter attacked by blowing a sandstorm on a few of the guards, more charged head on until the strongman opened his sack and squirted water on the rest of them. Afterwards Vangore and his guards admitted defeat and dropped their weapons; he also offered a truce for the rest of the Knights with Bakaar himself, a proposition in which Raseem was hesitant but accepted. As they arrived at a tent nearby Vangore told Raseem that the black sultan is inside while he warned him that this better not be a trick and the captain swears it isn’t. When Raseem entered in he found it empty and that he had been deceived while outside Vangore ordered his soldiers to cut the ropes which collapsed the tent and trapped Raseem as he struggles to free himself and while they bind him up they noticed Zazuum fleeing they asked if they should also capture him but Vangore let him off as he knew this will get him the opportunity to capture the Arabian Knights. 
Upon Zazuum’s return in the Caves of Doom the Knights realized that Raseem’s been imprisoned by Vangore as they head to Baghdad to free him despite the danger through Princess Nida and Zazuum were forced to stay while Bez said the transformation phrase “Size of a flying horse” and turned into one to carry Prince Turhan and Fariik. Meanwhile in Baghdad, Bakaar showed the citizens what happens to the enemies of his city as Raseem was trapped in a cage, breaks a guard’s spear for poking him and shouted to Bakaar that he will be set free, Vangore informed his ruler that the plan is working as he’s soldiers are in position for Turhan and the Kngihts as the black sultan said “Make sure you do not fail or else.”
As the trio arrived at the gates Bez de-transformed back into human form then he and his friends split up to search the city for Raseem. At an unknown district Fariik looked around until one of the guard’s spotted him the magician ran to one side until he saw Vangore and more of his men so he ran right through the curtains he then said his magic word “Rosan Kobar” and turned into a puff of orange smoke and slide right through a crack in the wall just before Vangore enters until one of the guard seals him in a bottle. At another district Bez said another transformation phrase “Size of a Mouse” and morphed into one to get inside a hole in the wall but a soldier noticed this and signalled the others when the beast came out two soldiers tried to grab him but he evaded and scurried into a vase a soldier tried to jump him but missed and landed in the vase the other also tried to jump him but also missed the last chance as he banged his head until Bez was caught and placed in a small cage by Vangore proclaiming he shall stay in this form until his execution. In another district Turhan scaled to the top of a tall building to get a better look until two of Vangore’s men ordered him to surrender but he rejects, grabs a pole and pole-vaulted his way into a tower the guards ran inside after him they tried to attack on the ledge but he leaped out of the way and lands into a few tarps until finally somersaulting right in front of Vangore and his soldiers. 
As the execution of the Knights commence Bakaar offered them last words and the prince only said “I vow to rid the land of your evil rule and I swear it will be done” but he only laugh as he ordered the executioner to cut off each of their heads starting with Raseem’s, in the crowd an old woman shouted for it to begin and was told to back away by Vangore but only when she witness justice to the Knights until Vangore had enough and ordered her to move along with her pet but when he pulled the floppy-eared one’s tail it turned out to be Zazuum as he dealt with Vangore and the executioner, the old woman was revealed to be the princess as she frees the others Bakaar ordered his archers to fire until Raseem uses the platform as a shield and threw it at them then Turhan steps on Raseem’s hands and was thrown and kicked Bakaar the prince then told Bez to change and he said another transformation phrase “Size of a flying Horse” and turned into one so he can fly them out but before they do Fariik said another magic word “Kazim Kobar” and locked Bakaar inside proclaiming him the enemy as he shouted vengeance upon them. While they head back to the caves they realized Zazuum was forgotten so the magician said another magic word “Molim Kobar” and made him reappeared only he was shrunk down but Nida and Turhan reassured the donkey that no matter what size he still has the biggest of hearts and that he will be turned back to normal size as soon as they head back to camp.
