An irreverent and amusing twist on the history of how India's capital city sourced its name.
Exotic characters such as Eleanour, a redundant show-girl from the Moulin Rouge in praise of, with Slick Solly, a Spiv from the Old Compton Road in London's SOHO, along with a legless lancer, Hi-speed mongoose, Ishmael O'reilly and his daughter Cutta, plus a bunch of camp crocodiles all play their part to give the name to the city that it bears today.

All of this happening with the help of the ancestors of more recent celebrities while Clive (in the white hat, hooray!) is tussling with Malplaisant (in the black hat - Boo!)f or possession of India from France.
