Am Tag, als der Geburtstag des großen Kalifen zelebriert wird, erscheint ein Fremder in der Stadt und stellt sein Wunderwerk vor: ein Pferd, das durch die Lüfte fliegen kann. Der Kalif möchte dieses Zauberpferd unbedingt besitzen, aber als Gegengabe soll er seine schöne Tochter Dinarsade dem Hässlichen zur Frau geben. Das erzürnt Dinarsades Bruder Achmed, doch der Zauberer versteht es, den Prinzen auf das Pferd zu locken. So beginnt Achmeds Reise hinauf zu den Sternen. Endlich entdeckt Achmed den Hebel, der das Pferd abwärts treibt, und landet auf der Insel Wak-Wak. Hier lebt die schöne Pari Banu, in die sich Prinz Achmed auf den ersten Blick verliebt und die er entführt. Das atemberaubend schöne Märchen nach Motiven aus „Tausendundeine Nacht“ ist der erste abendfüllende Animationsfilm der Filmgeschichte. Von 1923 bis 1926 entstanden etwa 250.000 Einzelaufnahmen auf einem Tricktisch, fast 96.000 fanden für den Film Verwendung.
