ASB'S FALL PLAY "THE ADVENTURES OF SINBAD"

Sinbad, the legendary sailor, tells his adventures to a disgruntled beggar who resents Sinbad's riches. Sinbad was a slave in love with the Caliph's daughter, Minerva, many years earlier. When Minerva was betrothed to the despicable Semitar for a huge dowry, Sinbad begs her father, the Caliph, to wait and see the dowry Sinbad could provide. With absolutely nothing to his name, Sinbad hops a ship bound for exotic shores to trade for precious goods. But the ship is pirated away to the Land of Hashmoona. There the sailors are each commanded to give Queen Heffernetti a present. If she doesn't like the present, the sailor is thrown into the lion's den. Sinbad gives her a treasure she can't resist. Sinbad returns to Baghdad with gold and jewels. But the Semitar refuses to bow to Sinbad's greater dowry and kidnaps Minerva.
Desperate, Sinbad seeks out a fortune-teller who draws him a map telling him where Minerva is being held captive. Sinbad buys a ship and sailors, but soon they find themselves on Paradise Island. They quickly find out why it's called Paradise Island: they lounge on the beach all day and are fed cookies and root beer to their heart's content. Soon, however, Sinbad realizes their hosts, Cleot and his family, are merely fattening the sailors up. Alone, Sinbad escapes the fate of being on the menu.
Sinbad single-handedly guides his ship to Diamond Island, where he meets five terrified travelers. They face two nightmares: Mama and her brood turn tourists into toys, and the Roc, a gigantic bird, picks the bones of those who avoid getting shrunk. Cleverly, Sinbad tricks Mama and her children into taking one tourist too many, and Rocky the Roc ends up with more than he can handle. With the help of the travelers he saved, Sinbad makes it to the Semitar's Palace to rescue Minerva.
