There's only one tiny problem with this portrayal. In the original story which dates back to the middle ages, Ali Baba is not a criminal mastermind. He isn't even the leader of the gang. He's a wood cutter who overhears a gang of theives visiting their stash cave. The cave entrance is enchanted and you need the proper password to get in or out - "Open Simsim" - which was bastardized into English as the familiar "Open Sesame". The gang catch wind that Ali Baba has found their stash and has gotten into the cave, so they set out to assassinate him and his family.
