Josip Djugashvili, the president of Garbejistan (a tiny republic wedged between Armenia and Azerbaijan), in his desire to improve his country’s cultural image, orders his prime minister to organize a film festival. In due course, there are ten films competing for the festival’s Golden Goat award, and the prime minister reads out to the president a summary of the story line of each film, giving the opportunity to the author, Alec Kitroeff, to exercise his wry humor in describing such events as the loss in a tsunami by Indonesian anthropologist Wam Bang Tenku Mam of the Egyptian mummy he was working on; the murder of Boutros Boutros Habibi, the exiled leader of Egypt’s Coptic Christians, in a British country mansion by Fatima Falafel and her brothers; the longing by a young nun of having her “marriage” to Jesus Christ consummated; the appeal by Poveretto Minestrono, a Miami pasta manufacturer, to Mafia boss Constipato Contralto to rescue his daughter from the hands of low-life kidnapper Spermatozo Spumante; the failure by the elder ugly sister to capture the heart of Prince Charming because of her big feet; and a few more guaranteed to bring a laugh or at least a happy smile to the reader.
