Prince Achmed is seen riding his horse into Agrabah. A conversation between two men reveals that he the latest of a series of suitors hoping to wed Princess Jasmine. On his way, two poor orphan children abruptly run in front of his horse. Achmed angrily orders them out of the way, calling the two "filthy brats." Just as the Prince is about to attack the children with his whip, Aladdin steps in the way, and manages to take the Prince's whip away. Before tossing the whip back, Aladdin remarks that if he were as rich as the prince, he could afford manners. In response, Achmed shoves Aladdin into a nearby mud puddle. Aladdin insults Achmed by remarking on the sight of seeing a horse "with two rear ends". Achmed calls Aladdin a worthless street rat, who will only be mourned at his death by his fleas. Before Aladdin can respond to this insult, Achmed enters the Sultan's Palace, and Aladdin is shut out by the gates.
The next morning, Achmed is seen leaving the palace in a hurry, much to the disappointment of the Sultan. As he storms out, he rants about how greatlt he has been insulted, and sarcastically wishes the Sultan good luck in finding a husband for Jasmine. A discussion with Jasmine reveals that Rajah had apparently ripped his pants, exposing his underwear. While defending Rajah, Jasmine inadvertently reveals her opinion on the prince: she referred to him as over-dressed and self-absorbed. Presumably, Prince Achmed returned to the kingdom from which he came.
