It's been a while since we've seen Zillah and Ani, and now they're back on the street. They're running around in the rain, trying to sell their wares. Ani's worried because she's just passed by a fortuneteller who told her that she was destined to open the bottle. She's also worried because her parents have disappeared, so she needs to find a way to save her younger brother, Abu, who's still a baby. Ani says she can help them both, but first she has to figure out how to free Abu from his father's debt. She can't do that by herself, but she can use the power of the giant in the bottle to help them. She says she'll give them everything they need to free their brother, and then she can call him "The Giant in the Bottle" and he'll take care of it for them.
