My Hero?

Jeannie tells Tony that a man hit her at the market. Tony insists on being brought face to face with the brute. After Jeannie blinks three times, she and Tony are transported back two thousand years to a Persian market. Tony's blows have no effect on Ali, an enormous brute. Tony is carried off to an auction block and purchased by Princes Fatima. When Tony insists on his rights as a member of the U.S. Air Force, Princess Fatima orders Ali to torture him. Jeannie rescues him after telling Tony she was preparing for her wedding. Tony finds himself surrounded by Jeannie's family, before realizing he is to be the groom. When Tony tells Jeannie he can't marry her, she returns him to the torture chamber. After shuttling back and forth between the torture chamber and Jeannie's home several times, Tony persuades Jeannie, who has reduced Ali to a midget, to take him back to his own home. Roger Henley arranges a double date for Tony and himself with two beauty contest winners. After leaving home, Tony finds Jeannie has blinked again and he is draped only is a bath towel.
