But three magical gold balls that sit atop a tower watch over and protect the city. Thus One-Eye needs to gain possession of the globes, which he does thanks to a shady magician who desperately wants to marry Baghdad's beautiful Princess Yum-Yum. But coming to Baghdad's rescue is Tack, a simple, unassuming cobbler, who along with Yum-Yum sets out to re-acquire the orbs.
