While out with Ace, June is eyeing some opals when a genie bursts out of a bank. They and the rest of the team follow the genie to the magician Malvolio. Malvolio uses a ram's horn to summon the genie Ahmed to blow away the Challengers. June raises a hand and utters "magic words" to send Ahmed and Malvolio fleeing. The Challs pursue them to a factory where Ace tries June's trick to no effect. When June arrives, however, the genie flees. Finally, at an old mine, the Challs find Malvolio and his men again and this time Ace uses opal to combat Malvolio's black magic and smash the genie's horn.
