Synopsis

Chris, a student at Professor Cipher's academy, is the scourge of the classroom. One day, while polishing an old oriental lamp which he just purchased at an auction, a genie pops out and Chris discovers that he is in possession of a magical lamp. When the genie informs Chris that every wish is his command, the boy conceives the scheme of having the genie transform himself into his double and then sends him to take his place in the professor's classroom. While Chris plays hookey, the poor genie faces the thrashings intended for the real Chris. The presence of two Chrises engenders many farcical mix-ups involving Chris's father and mother, his teachers and doctor until eventually everything is straightened out and Chris learns his lesson.
