Get Variable Value from Plugin

Hi,

I am trying to use a plugin.

It is a simple plugin that you go to on the backend of wordpress and enter a value into a text box.

i want to be able to query the value from the textbox.

Essentially I want to create a template tag, so if I input values into the textboxes I can call those values through the theme.

I have looked through the codex, but all it told was to write a function and call it as a template tag.

In the plugin there is a line

<input name="ai_video_curator_option1" type="text" id="ai_video_curator_option1" size="45" value="<?php echo $this->options['ai_video_curator_option1'] ;?>"/>

I want to display the value of ai_video_curator_option1

I tried <?php if ( isset($ai_video_curator) ) $ai_video_curator('ai_video_curator_option1'); ?>

for the template tag, but that did not work.

Thanks for any help, this one seems simple, but I am missing something
