Abdullah

The "crafty magician" of ancient Bagh­dad who is the secret leader of the infamous Forty Thieves. Dispatched through the time barrier by Professor Carter Nichols to the city of Baghdad in the tenth century A.D., Batman and Robin make the ac­quaintance of the legendary Aladdin and, with Superman's help, recover the inheritance which the naïve lad has foolishly traded to the wily Abdullah in exchange for a worthless "magic" lamp and clear him of the groundless charge that he is one of the Forty Thieves. In addition, the three crime-fighters foil an attempt by Abdullah and his cohorts to loot the shops of Baghdad, and ultimately apprehend the villains after Superman has chased them from the city.
