The genie of the lamp retires, leaving his duties to his young son. Aladdin offers his mother a ride on his flying carpet but she says she is too busy with washing. Aladdin calls on the genie to do it, but in trying to impress them the Junior genie causes havoc and ruins the washing that has already been done. The elder genie appears and tells them about Rinso which gets the job down quickly without boiling.
