Plot
In the heart of an ancient oriental city, an aged man spins a captivating yarn to a huddle of wide-eyed children. His tale is no ordinary one - it's the chronicle of his youth, when he was the spirited little Muck, a boy with polished manners and a mountain of tribulations. Orphaned at a tender age, he's banished from his ancestral home by his avaricious kin, which prompts him to seek out the enigmatic Merchant of Luck in the vast, sandy wilderness.
His journey leads him to a peculiar dwelling nestled amidst the desert dunes, ruled by a malevolent woman and her legion of feline companions. Here, he's ensnared in a life of servitude, but the resourceful Muck manages to abscond, not without pilfering a pair of magical shoes. These shoes equip him with a speed that puts the swiftest sprinters of the realm to shame.
Guided by his newfound velocity and a magical wand that uncovers the grandest of treasures, Little Muck finds himself embarking on a new set of adventures. He aids his loyal friend, Prince Hassan, in securing the affection of the enchanting Amarza, the Sultan's daughter. Little Muck's tale is one steeped in whimsy and wonder, a testament to the trials he braved and the marvels he discovered. This enthralling narrative, based on Wilhelm Hauff's fairy tale, is the spellbinding odyssey of Little Muck, the boy who dared to chase fortune across the shifting sands of destiny.
