On his way to Bagdad where he shall marry the princess Parisa, Sinbad saves the magician Sokurah from the Cyclops of Colossa island. Sokurah is not so happy to sail to Bagdad with Sinbad because he's lost his magic lamp on Colossa. The mean mage will have to shorten the princess Parisa in order to force Sinbad to come back to Colossa. It's indeed the only place where to find the medicine that could cure now the princess.
