The Arabian Knights was a segment in the Banana Splits Adventure Hour. The story is set in Arabia in Baghdad. The rightful ruler is a young Prince Turhan, until the evil Sultan Bakaar and his minions usurped the throne. The young Prince Turhan now becomes a wanted man, narrowly escaping his pursuers when he encounters a magician called Fariek. Fariek transforms them both into blue wisps of smoke. Once the guards have gone they become human again. Enchanting a table to make it fly, they make their escape. They hide in a cavern where they meet Raseem aka "Rasime the great". Raseem is an incredibly strong man who befriends them once he realises they are enemies of the evil Sultan Bakaar. The three allies then set off to enlist the aid of Prince Turhans uncle the Kalif who is travelling on a small donkey called Zazuum. When the reach the Caliphs city they find that the Kalif has been deposed by the evil Sultan Bakaar, and is now imprisoned. The Kalifs daughter Nida, (Prince Turhan cousin) is about to be sold into slavery. The allies manage to free her; however they are cornered by Sultan Bakaar's guards until they are assisted by Bez, a man who can transform into any animal he can imagine. Turning into an elephant, he bulldozers his way through Bakaars guards and carries everyone to safety. The newly formed group of friends decide to work together to restore the kingdom to its rightful rulers
