Grandpa, and many other family members. Fatimoma is Ali’s mother, and we learn that his father is not around. We also learn that Ali has a brother, Kassim, who turned to crime, became very wealthy, and is estranged from the family. Ali shows up with a cart full of jewels and treasure and showers the whole family with gifts, Fatimoma glows in her new fortune as does the whole family. Ali has sent for Morgiana, one of his brother's servants who he is in love with. Now that Ali is rich he hopes to win her over. Unexpectedly, Kassim has followed Morgiana. He demands to know where the treasure came from and wants some of his own. Ali tells Kassim everything he needs to know then sends him on his way. Ali and Morgiana sing a love song in which she says she loves him, not his fortune. The scene cuts back to the Sultan and Princess who tirelessly continues her story. We now find ourselves back on the street where Kassim is approaching Sesame and the cave. After going back and forth, Kassim is let into the cave, however Sesame thinks he is a cop so he closes him in there. Sesame mourns his life and as Ali approaches he tries to cheer him up. ("Sesame, Sesame") Ali describes Kassim and Sesame insists he has not seen him, then he lashes out thinking that Ali squealed to the police. Carooni and his men come back to the cave where Kassim is locked in. The men find out that he is in there and move in and kill him. Carooni realizes that Sesame has been letting people in and finds out that there is a lot of treasure missing including the Stonefeller Rock. Under pressure, Sesame tells all about the street sweeper he let in. Carooni sends a bunch of men, undercover as street sweepers, to find Ali. Carooni is pleased with himself and sings and dances with Doll. Ali and Morgiana show up looking for Kassim. They walk in and see the thieves getting into their street sweeper disguises. None of them know how to do the job and they do not know Ali. Ali seizes this chance and teaches the all how to be street sweepers. ACT TWO This act opens again with Princess telling her tale. It then cuts to a huge, elegant house warming party. We learn that Ali and his family are moving into a new house with their new found fortune. There are waiters there who are headed up by a man we clearly see is Carooni in disguise. The whole family is present including Ali's love, Morgiana. Ali sings a song to entertain his guests.We slowly realize that all the waiters are Carooni's men in disguise and they are working the crowd trying to get leads on what happened to their treasure. Morgiana informs Carooni that it is also Fatimoma's birthday. Morgiana finds his behaviour strange and is a bit suspicious. Fatimoma seems to think she has seen him somewhere before as well. They all sing Happy Birthday and For She's a Jolly Good Fellow. Then the men wheel out a cake which we know has a spy hidden in it. Before they can keep her from doing so, Fatimoma grabs a knife and thrusts it into the cake to cut it. A loud agonizing scream is heard, and the thieves are sure they are about to be exposed. Grandpa speaks up and laughs thinking it is just a trick cake and the men are relieved that they are off the hook. Ali has given Fatimoma a gift which ends up being the Stonefeller Rock. Only one of the men notices but Carooni will not listen because he is too nervous. Carooni jumps in and tries to keep everyone distracted by doing the Conga. The men have all changed back and are ready to take off, sure they are making no headway. Morgiana sees them and is confused. Then Carooni realizes that his street sweeping gang has shown up to the party. They tell him they have found out on the street that this party is a house warming for a street sweeper who has moved into his late brother's home. The party starts to break up and Carooni finds out that Ali is the guy who taught his men how to be street sweepers. Sesame confirms this for him, now having betrayed Ali who was his "friend." Carooni mobilizes his men to block all the entrances, turn out the lights and get their revenge. Sesame is disgusted with himself and decides he is going to help Ali, not Carooni. Morgiana happens upon Sesame. She tells him she is engaged to Ali and finds out that he is the man that let Ali into the cave of treasures. She urges him to join them and that Ali would love to see him. He says here that Carooni's men are there hiding and waiting to attack. Carooni enters disguised as an Arabian oil tycoon and says he is a cousin of Ali's. Morgiana has the plan down, informs Ali, and gets the family ready to battle. She instructs Ali to act
