In Baghdad a great and dark-minded vizier, who answers to the name of
Iznogoud, works on his ambition to lay claim to the throne of caliph
Haroun al Plassid. Thus his favourite saying, 'I want to be caliph
instead of the caliph!' Seconded by Wa'at Alahf, he tries ever more
crazy, and unsuccessful, schemes to achieve his goal.
