Plot
At an ancient ruin, Aladdin and the others find a chest full of spice. Aladdin finds a necklace with a large purple jewel and suggests that he should give it to Jasmine. Something inside the jewel starts to swirl and it causes a storm at the ruin. When Abu gets blown into the chest with the necklace, the storm immediately stops, with everyone wondering what caused it. The gang goes to the palace with the chest of spice and Aladdin is going to give the necklace to Jasmine. Abu follows Aladdin while Genie and Iago hatch a plan to sell the spice at the marketplace in order to make money. In Jasmine's room, Aladdin gives Jasmine the necklace with Abu hiding behind Rajah. When Aladdin, Jasmine, and Abu leave to show the Sultan the necklace, Rajah sees a tiny cloud that appeared above Aladdin's head. Meanwhile, Genie and Iago are at the marketplace trying to sell the magic spice. Iago suggests that in order for the people to buy the spice, Genie has to prove its magic. Back at the palace, Aladdin and Jasmine are showing the necklace to the Sultan, who believes that it's for a wedding. Everyone then sees the cloud from before coming towards them. When it disappears, a gray-skinned man named Ayam Aghoul appears. He walks over to Jasmine and kisses her hand, making Aladdin angry. Ayam tells him that he unleashed him from the ruins and then he tells everyone that he possessed the enchanted necklace and any woman who wears it becomes his bride. Aladdin tries to remove the necklace from Jasmine, but a bolt of purple lightning hits him. Ayam throws a bone and it turns into three skeletons. Aladdin and Abu break the skeletons by rolling over them, but then they see the bones reforming into a giant, three-headed skeleton. The Sultan calls the guards to attack the skeletons. But when they are about to do so, the skeletons rearrange their bones into a cage trapping the guards. The three-headed skeletons grab Aladdin and Abu and throw them off the balcony. Carpet sees the two fall and catches them. While Ayam is not paying attention, Jasmine and the Sultan see that Aladdin and Abu are still alive and they quickly fly away before Aghoul sees them. When they get to the palace garden, Aladdin suggests that they have Genie help them. Meanwhile at the marketplace, Genie announces the magic spice to the people and pretends that it actually works. Everyone then goes to buy the spice while Carpet takes Genie. Meanwhile, Ayam shows Jasmine and the Sultan the skeletons stacking stone blocks in a pile, telling them that he and Jasmine are moving in. Aghoul then sees Abu riding a mechanical sphinx and goes after the monkey. When Ayam gets to the balcony, a pyramid falls on him. It then shows Aladdin and Genie on the roof. When Aladdin gets to the throne room, everyone believes he defeated Ayam, but it turns out he didn't. He tells Aladdin to look for a new girlfriend because he's going to make Jasmine live with him for eternity. He then shows him his three other skeleton wives, which may mean that Jasmine will become one of them. Later, Aladdin, Genie, and Abu are standing beside Ayam's almost completed house. Aladdin blames himself for giving Jasmine the necklace and Genie agrees, which annoys Aladdin. Aladdin then realizes that the necklace was buried in the spice and that the spice was magic. He then gets an idea to trap Ayam again and asks Genie for the spice. Guilty, Genie tells the street rat that he and Iago sold the spice. Later, outside Ayam's house, Jasmine is wearing a purple dress. While Aghoul tries to make Jasmine enter, Genie appears pretending to be the wedding consultant. Ayam wants to get rid of him and Jasmine tells him that it's an Agrabanian custom. Meanwhile, Aladdin and Abu fly to the marketplace to give the people their money back so they can retrieve the spice. Back at Ayam's house, Genie is still trying to distract Aghoul, but Ayam's had enough. He opens his door and is about to get in with Jasmine. Aladdin shows up with the chest of spice and opens it so Ayam gets trapped back in. Aghoul shoots a bolt at Aladdin but misses, but the bolt makes a crack on the ground that is so huge that Aladdin cannot reach him and Jasmine. Ayam and Jasmine enter Aghoul's house and the door closes, with Aladdin upset. However, Aladdin sees Jasmine standing behind him and it turns out that Ayam took Genie instead. Angry, Ayam gets out of his house and shooting lightning bolts at Aladdin. Aladdin grabs some of the magic spice and throws it in Jasmine's necklace, which causes it to fall. When Abu throws the necklace in the spice chest, a whirlwind emerges from the spice and sucks Ayam in. Jasmine's dress changes back to her normal princess outfit and Ayam's house disappears. Aladdin gives Genie the chest and tells him to bury it somewhere no one will ever find it. Genie slings the chest away, with Iago upset about losing the magic spice.
