This Genie was bound to the person who held the lamp.With the help from the Genie, Aladdin becomes rich and powerful. He also marries Princess Badroulbadour, who was the Emperor's daughter. The Genie then builds an extravagant house, which was better than the Emperor’s.The sorcerer comes back and is tries to get his hands on the lamp by tricking Aladdin's wife. His wife is unaware of the importance of the lamp. The sorcerer offers to exchange "new lamps for old". The sorcerer then orders the genie of the lamp to take the palace to his home in the Maghreb. Aladdin still has the magic ring and he summons the lesser genie from the ring. Although the genie of the ring cannot directly undo any of the magic of the genie of the lamp, he is able to transport Aladdin to Maghreb, and help him get his wife and the lamp back, as well as to defeat the sorcerer.The sorcerer's more powerful and evil brother tries to destroy Aladdin for killing his brother by disguising himself as an old woman known for her healing powers.

Aladdin is warned of this danger by the genie of the lamp and kills the sorcerer's brother. Aladdin succeeds in getting his father-in-law's throne. They all live happily ever after.
