The wedding night is besieged, the lieutenant of police is at the door with four hundred men — and the caliph is already inside, come over the rooftops to his bride. With three pebbles, a ring, and a name no officer in Baghdad dares refuse, he turns the siege upside down before the night is out: the men who came to break the door are led away from it in custody, an innocent chamberlain comes home in triumph, and the "thief" of the house settles every debt the tale has left open — including the one he owes himself. The New Adventures of the Caliph Haroun Alraschild conclude with two weddings. Part Three of Three.
