Arabiantics is a 1928 Felix the Cat short produced by Pat Sullivan.
Plot[]
Felix, driven from every house in the city and unable to find a bed, begins consuming a bottle of milk. An Arab street vendor trades him a magic carpet for liquid nourishment. Content with his newly acquired bed, Felix spreads out the carpet for a peaceful sleep.
But the magic carpet rises into the air and carries Felix off to Arabia. There, a merchant, recognizing the carpet, trades the black cat for a bag of jewels for the valuable carpet.
Meanwhile, the Forty Thieves (all rats and enemies of Felix) steal the jewels for their Arab master. The Arab sultan distributes them among his favorites in the harem. But Felix is not to be defeated so easily. He uses the moon and two trees to improvise a banjo. Then he plays several lively melodies. The music the black cat produces causes the ladies of the harem to dance so violently that the jewels are shaken back to their rightful owner—Felix.
