Synopsis
Iago and Abu locate a magic ball in Jafar's old chambers.

Plot
Iago and Abu are in Jafar's old chamber with Iago looking for something. He and Abu then find a magic ball called the Eye of Gazeem. The two rub it and the ball brings them to the netherworld. The animals see that they can go through things. Iago likes it at first and but then sees that he can no longer touch treasures. The two decide to go to Aladdin for help. They see Aladdin and the others playing charades and they try to get Aladdin's attention, but he can't see or hear them. Abu and Iago then run into the Sultan's grandfather, Bobolonius. He tells the two that no one can see or hear them because they are dead. Then Ayam Aghoul shows up and tells Abu and Iago that they are not dead, but he can make them permanent residents of the netherworld. Iago and Abu have to have someone rub the Eye of Gazeem to get them out. They go to Genie, who can hear them, but believes that it's a ghost. Bobolonius shows up and tells Iago and Abu that the only way they can get their attention is in their dreams. A short while later, Jasmine is sleeping on her bed. Abu and Iago are about to get in her dream, but Genie wakes her up. When Jasmine leaves, Genie places traps for the "ghosts." Aladdin suggests that Genie sleeps, but he refuses because he still believes there are ghosts in the palace, making Abu and Iago annoyed. The next morning, Aladdin has just fallen asleep. Iago and Abu get in his dream to tell him that they're trapped in the netherworld. Aladdin wakes up and he and Genie go to Jafar's old chamber and see the Eye of Gazeem. In the netherworld, Ayam tells Abu and Iago that as soon as Aladdin rubs the Eye of Gazeem, he will be sucked into the land of the dead and he will make him a permanent resident as well. But Genie shackles Aladdin's ankle, making Ayam come up with another idea. Aladdin rubs the Eye of Gazeem and Genie gets in the netherworld, but Ayam gets out to fight Aladdin. While Aladdin tries to rub the Eye of Gazeem, which is out of his reach, Bobolonius shows up in the netherworld and tells Genie, Iago, and Abu that Sultan usually sleeps late. So Abu and Iago get in the Sultan's dream to make him rub the Eye of Gazeem. After Sultan does so, Ayam gets sucked back in the netherworld while Genie, Abu, and Iago get out. Iago then sees a giant black orb and wants to rub it, but Abu drags him away and everyone leaves Jafar's chamber.
