Bernard and the Genie

A genie is punished by an evil wizard by being confined to a lamp somewhere in Arabia. In England 2000 years later, art dealer Bernard Bottle, who has just been sacked by his nasty, greedy boss, then discovered that his girlfriend has gone off with his so-called best mate, taking almost everything from his flat, decides to give the lamp a rub. The next thing he knows, the genie is loose, and Bernard befriends him and finds that he can give him as many wishes as he likes. But things go horribly wrong when Bernard decides to wish for one of the most famous paintings in the world and the police think he has stolen it.
