GolGanth, a wizard from the past, decides to bring help to a threatened galaxy. He leads Rodger Rodgers on a trail of deceit and misdirection, while gradually accomplishing his goals. His subterfuge is aided by the ego of his forced accomplice, Rodgers. Steadily solving problems using both magic and double meaning information, GolGanth works toward his target in secrecy. While seeming to fix one thing, he successfully misleads our hero in the proper direction. Several humorous setbacks are encountered, generated by misunderstanding. Despite numerous obvious clues, the (would-be) savior goes through the story in a haze of oblivion, as he misinterprets nearly everything. This is credited to his sarcastic, flippant attitude, which he uses as a tool to lighten the seriousness of the situation.
