Set against the backdrop of Victorian entertainment, the narrative explores themes of hypocrisy, racism, and sexual repression through the lens of a pantomime. It features characters like Dick Whittington, his companion Jack, and Sally, alongside traditional elements such as a flying ballet and a transformation scene. The story ultimately reveals the dark realities of the British East India Company's most lucrative crop, intertwining humor with a serious critique of societal values and the era's moral contradictions.
