King Gudu falls gravely ill, and no healer can cure him. When the feared Babalawo Jako declares that only a magic potion made from the ears of a live elephant can save the king, the palace loses hope. Capturing such a powerful creature seems impossible. Then tiny Torty, the clever tortoise, steps forward. Though everyone laughs at him because of his small size, Torty has a daring plan. With a basket of delicious bean cakes and a clever lie, he convinces a proud but gullible elephant that he has been chosen as the new king.
As the elephant proudly follows Torty to the palace, musicians and singers welcome him in royal style. But beneath the celebration lies Torty's hidden trap.
