The little Gaulish village where Asterix & Obelix live has just one drawback
- its bard is the worst musician in the entire ancient world. When Cacofonix strikes up his singing sends the sun behind clouds & makes rain begin to fall. But thats just what they want in the distant Eastern kingdom of Rajah Watzit where the guru Hoodunnit with his sidekick Owzat is threatening to end a terrible drought by sacrificing the lovely Princess Orinjade. The fakir Watziznehm arrives by flying carpet to ask the Gauls for help & just for once after many adventures Cacofonix can feel that his talents are properly appreciated.
