Two newlyweds in Egypt uncover a huge egg in the sand that hatches into the Roc in the warm sunlight.

Synopsis for "The Painting"

An art dealer who buys quality paintings at rock-bottom insulting prices from poverty stricken artists and then sells them for thousands attempts to steal a beautiful painting from a gypsy who refuses to sell it. The dealer has the gypsy arrested on a trumped up charge and burgles the man's wagon to remove the painting. When the gypsy is released because the man cannot be found he knows why and goes to the art dealer's apartment to retrieve his enchanted painting. If you've seen the last few minutes of "The Shining", you know what happened to the art dealer, who becomes trapped within the stolen painting.
