Ali Baba Goes to Town Synopsis
A movie company is filming the "Arabian Nights" when a hobo enters their camp, falls asleep and dreams he's back in Baghdad as advisor to the Sultan. In a spoof of Roosevelt's New Deal, he organizes work programs, taxes the rich and abolishes the army.
His Royal Slyness Synopsis
An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.
"Ali Baba Goes to Town" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "His Royal Slyness" offers its own unique cult appeal.
