While chasing Ant, Aardvark gets hit by a pickup truck. Among the contents that fall out is a magic lamp with a genie who grants him three wishes. Unfortunately his wishes for speed and stickiness fail, making Aardvark frustrated to the point that he unwittingly uses his final wish for the genie to go away. He realizes his error too late, and when Ant gets the lamp, he makes one wish for the genie to be free and Aardvark to take her place when the next person finds the lamp.
