In a distant kingdom, in the 16th century, the eldest of the sons of the previous king was sent into exile for an act he had not committed. He meets the magician David, the twins Tam and Tom and the bard Richard. Together they travel as magicians through the different cities, telling stories that make the eyes of small children shine. But the second oldest brother, who now became the king, ruled the folk with injustice, and the people suffered as a result. The youngest brother, Henry also set out to find the elder, but soon finds himself in an unpleasant situation.
