Howard Morris stars as luckless George P. Hanley, in love with the secretary(played by Patricia Barry) at his job, who has no interest in him. Desperate, he is conned into buying an old Arabian lamp for her as a present, but discovers that it does have the proverbial Genie(played by miscast Jack Albertson) who will grant George only one wish, so he must consider carefully, and so imagines how love, wealth, and power would work out, which as you can guess, wont be well... Unfunny and clichéd comedy is a total waste of time, both because it had already been done before, and ultimately in its silly resolution. Morris fared far better when he costarred on "Thriller".
