Synopsis:
Jimmy and Superman uncover some artifacts from a buried tomb. When Jimmy returns to his apartment, one of the artifacts has a voice coming from inside it. Jimmy rubs the lamp as the voice instructs, and a genie appears. The genie grants Jimmy’s wishes until he speaks the word, "Kill".

Upon speaking the word, Jimmy and the genie switch places. Jimmy is granted magical powers, but is enslaved by the genie. Jimmy manages to trick the genie back into the proper role by getting him to speak the word "Kill" as well. The genie is once again imprisoned in the lamp which is placed in Jimmy’s trophy collection.
