A hardware shop assistant polishes up an old oil-lamp and inadvertently summons up a genie. Consequent weird and wonderful events cause the shop owner, unaware of the genie's existence, to think he's going mad.
This sitcom was made for Children's Hour in the 1970s, although appealed to adults too. Creator Bob Block later created Rentaghost.
