Synopsis/Details
Ruby, a housemaid for a seedy hotel, does her usual routine when one day she finds three items left behind from a former guest. They are a suitcase. a half bottle of Scotch (which she finishes off) and a genie lamp. As a joke, she rubs the lamp and quickly discovers that, yes, there is a genie inside the lamp. Ruby is granted three wishes. The first two she wastes due to not believing n genies. (wanting the Genie to look more "buff" and refilling the Scotch) the third is to have the suitcase overflow with millions of gems so she can be rich. The gene pleads with her thinking this is a bad idea. Ruby insists. The Gene grants the wish. The next day, another housemaid, Diana, opens the door to Room 19. An avalanche of diamonds and emeralds spill out into the hallway. Ruby's dead body is found, still partially buried in millions of gems and diamonds, along with an overflowing bottle of Scotch and a genie lamp.
