Plot
The film begins with the birthday celebrations of Baghdad prince Faruk when Chief Commander Vazeer Hussain (Rajanala) forcibly collects taxes from the public. Sultan (Mikkilineni) of Baghdad realizes it and one night he travels in disguise to identify the truth. At that moment, Vazeer kills him, confines his Begam Saheba (Pandari Bai) in prison, and also tries to eliminate the Prince, but he is saved by Ibrahim (Mukkamala), a blind loyal royal agent. After that, Vazeer becomes Sultan of Baghdad. Ibrahim shifts to Basra, Faruk grows as Abu (N. T. Rama Rao) and becomes a kind-hearted burglar who helps the poor along with his friend Ali (Padmanabham). One day he enters Basra Sultan's (Relangi) palace, where he gets the acquaintance with princess Naseem (Jayalalitha) and both of them fall in love. Meanwhile, Vazeer arrives at Basra and decides to marry Naseem by luring the Sultan to which Naseem refuses and escapes. At the same time, Abu enters into the palace to meet Naseem when Vazeer captures him. Even after escaping Naseem comes into Vazeer's fold and he takes her to Baghdad. On the other side, Abu breaks out of the jail with the help of Ali, learns about Naseem, and reaches Baghdad. After reaching the Baghdad palace he recognizes himself as the prince. Now Abu makes a plan along with Nazeem to find his mother. There onwards, Abu makes huge robberies in the kingdom and attains the name The Thief of Baghdad. Meanwhile, Ali insults a street magician, so, he converts him into a monkey and says that he will get his original form if he dips into the water. Abu recognizes that the monkey is his friend Ali and keeps him in the palace at Sadiq (Madhukuuri Satyam) Vazeer's son. Parallelly, Nazeem pretends to love Vazeer, finds the whereabouts of Begam Saheba and Abu releases his mother. But unfortunately, they were caught by soldiers, Vazeer orders them to leave Abu in the desert, and throw Ali (Monkey) into the well and they do so. Then Ali comes into his original form. Meanwhile, Ibrahim generates the public to revolt, and all of them reach the fort along with Begam Saheba and reveal the entire truth. Eventually, in the desert, Abu liberates a demon, for which he gets a flying carpet as a gift; with its help, he immediately rushes to the fort and stamps out Vazeer. Finally, Abu / Faruk becomes the emperor of Baghdad and marries Nazeem.
