THE MONSTER
France 1903
An Egyptian prince is widowed. Inconsolable. He asks a priest to try to show him his deceased loved one. The priest takes the wife's skeleton from the coffin, places clothes on the bones, which turn into a ghost. The ghost becomes a woman, alive and beautiful, but when the prince, filled with wonder, approaches her, the priest flings the skeleton in his face.

France 1905
A young Prince without any money wishes to marry Aouda, the daughter of the Rajah. But she has already been promised to a usurer with a fabulous fortune. The Prince Charming, with the help of the sorceror Khalafar, overcomes all of the planted traps along his path and receives an enormous treasure straight from the hands of the Golden Fairy. The Prince returns to the Palace of the Rajah with chests full of precious stones, gold, and money. The Rajah grants him his daughter's hand in marriage and then chases away the usurer.
