It is a fascinating tale of cats, pigeons and mice who inhabit an abandoned palace on an Island that has no ruler. Their lives are thrown into disarray as a new King sets foot in the palace. What follows is an epic struggle for existence against providence in the form of a mix-up with humans, bandicoot rats and daring eagles. A princess of a far off land is also drawn into the vortex of conflict only because she had strayed into a magical cave at the wrong hour. Many situations and characters have allegorical overtones.
