The king of Meethapur has a witty court jester who is insecure about his position in life. When he hears of a famous fortune teller, he conceives a plan where the king is told that he would die two hours after his jester. The scared king now ensures that the jester is well taken care of. Comfortable in his position, the jester gets greedy and begins making absurd demands, confident that they would be met.
