Story
Bill Morgan is eager to take part in the battles of World War II . But the draft board refuses him due to inappropriate health status. Bill, hoping at least something to help the front, is going to collect scrap metal. Among the recycled junk, he finds a strange bronze bottle. Trying to clean off the dirt from him, he inadvertently calls out Gene Ali, the spirit living in this vessel. Gene invites the young American to fulfill his three wishes. Without hesitation, Bill immediately wants to get into the US Army. The smoke envelops him, and when he is dispelled, Morgan sees that he has become a foot soldier of the Continental Army under the command of George Washington, fighting for the independence of the United States. After a conflict with several soldiers, being sentenced to death, Bill runs away, wanting to be in the ranks of the Navy. Smoke again flies, after which the young man is a member of the team of Christopher Columbus in his first voyage to the shores of the continent that was still undiscovered. He convinces the sailors not to rebel and continue sailing, assuring that the shore is close. Going down to land, Morgan admires the beauty of the Indian woman, which is very similar to his beloved, windy Lucilla. Once in an awkward position, he buys Manhattan Island from the indigenous people for $ 24, and then again moves in time, finding himself in New Amsterdam in the middle of the 17th century. Here, proving that the island belongs to him, Bill goes to jail. At this time, Ali, finally realizing what they want from him, moves the American who called him to the 20th century. And he also carried today a girl similar to Sally Smith, in love with Morgan, whom he met on his travels.
