Synopsis

The Lion King is bored of ruling the Kingdom of Azad Nagar and decides to retire. Although he has a son, Superbus, to whom the throne belongs, the King decides to call for election to be held at the behest of his advisor, Miss Fina. A poor donkey called Mangu who works in a laundry ends up being elected accidentally by the people. Mangu has to face the legitimate heir, Superbus, until he realises that this electoral mess-up is part of Miss Fina's plan to dethrone the Lion King and stop his son from taking his place, as Miss Fina wants another leader who is easier to manipulate. Will Mangu be able to save the Kingdom of Azad Nagar from the clutches of the evil advisor Miss Fina?
