Because the stars and planets are aligned in a certain, totally unusual
way, genie Jeannie (Barbara Eden) loses her powers and will probably be
gone forever if her master, astronaut Tony (Larry Hagman), doesn't get to
Mecca and pray to a certain minaret on time. Problem is, Tony has a
psychological evaluation at NASA this very day, Jeannie's powers are
fading, and when the two of them get to Mecca despite everything, they
have to find out the spot they have to pray to the minaret from is inside
the First National Bank. Well, despite everything it ends happily. Sure,
the story of this episode is far-fetched as can be (even considering the
premise of the series as such), but it offers plenty of opportunity for
sight gags and slapstick, and Eden and Hagman are allowed to show off
their comic talent and on-screen chemistry more than in many other
episodes. In a word: Fun!
