Richie Rich & Cadbury #20

When a genie trapped in a bottle starts granting wishes with wildly unintended consequences, Richie and Cadbury find themselves in over their heads—literally—when they're kidnapped by mysterious sheiks in the desert. With the genie’s powers unpredictable and their escape uncertain, the trio must outwit their captors before things spiral even further out of control.

In this lighthearted 1981 tale from *Richie Rich & Cadbury #20*, Reggie’s latest prank-seeking scheme hits a snag when he asks Richie for a container to stash a jack-in-the-box—only to find Richie’s cleverly timed gift already inside, turning the tables in a classic bit of playful mischief.

In "Gee, What a Genie!", a clever genie finally gets a chance to shine when he uses his magic to free hostages trapped in a cave. With a mix of wits and spellwork, he thwarts a gang of sheik-themed thieves robbing Keenbean's lab—capturing the culprits while narrowly avoiding a dramatic truck crash, though the stolen gold comes out unscathed.
