Plot
This is a story about how the poor shepherd Ali-Baba accidentally fell into the cave with treasures, looted by robbers led by Abu-Hasan. Ali Baba forgets a handkerchief given to him by the bride Marjana in the cave, and cunning and insidious Khatun-Bibi, dreaming to become the sole owner of treasures and the first wife of Abu-Hasan, leads the robbers to the trail of Ali Baba.
Abu-Hasan sends robbers to Ali Baba, but they got into the nets of Marjana and back with nothing.
Khatun-Bibi comes up with a new plan and Abu-Hasan himself and 40 robbers, hidden in jars, go to Ali-Baba's house. But Marjana manages to hold the bandits this time too. Stunned in jars, they can not come to the call of Abu-Hasan and fall on the court of the whole people. Ataman is also caught and captured, and all the treasures are given to ordinary people. Story ends with the merry wedding of Ali Baba and Marjana, who cleverly and wisely managed to defeat the evil and treacherous robbers.
