The newest homeless man in Beverly Hills is two million years old, has spent most of his life in a bottle, and dresses funny even by California standards. But to the Hollywood hustler who found him, he's a chance at riches and true love. Basie is a man who collects junk and tries to make something out of it. He is also in love with Lily, a woman he has never spoken to but salutes every day. She is about to get conned out of her money by her greedy lawyer. And then there is the Genie who has lost his bottle and seeks Basie's help. —Steve Richer <sricher@sympatico.ca> Meet the newest homeless man in Beverly Hills. He's two million years old, has spent most of his life in a bottle, and dresses funny even by California standards. But to "Basie" Banks (Paul Le Mat), the Hollywood hustler who found him, he's a real-life chance at riches - and true love. It begins in a dumpster, when Basie discovers "Hitch" (Geoffrey Lewis), a genie who only needs to reclaim his magic bottle to grant three wishes. Striking a deal, Basie agrees to help Hitch steal his bottle back - if the genie will help him get the girl of his dreams. From here, the magic carpet ride begins. Together, with a half-cocked Vietnam vet as their sidekick and the Beverly Hills police on their trail, they set out on an adventure greater than even Ali Baba could imagine. —Anonymous
