Iznogoud is at a loss. One of Haroun El Placid's sons is going to marry one of the terrible Sultan Strikar's daughters. This marriage could bar Iznogoud's access to the throne forever. At this precise point, a scientist brings to the Vizier a wonderful machine, a computer, which can answer all your questions. Time is running out as Iznogoud asks the machine how he can become Sultan instead of the Sultan.
