King Rufus XIV and Queen Caroline reign over the kingdom of Rubovia. The court magician, Albert Weatherspoon, is a jack-of-all-trades assistant whose skill in solving the court's problems are matched only by his talent in causing the problems in the first place. The court's pets, Rubina the Cat and Pongo the Dragon, are usually of no help at all, while King Rufus takes solace from regular visits from his friend and neighbour, King Boris of Borsovia.
