It is the story of a Indian prince who must, to free his family from a curse, remove a vampire from a cemetery and carry it/him to a wizard. The vampire is quite a funny fellow and tells a series of stories. At the end of each story, Prince Vikram must either hold his tongue or at least reply politely to the vampire's story. This proves impossible for him, so many tales end with the vampire escaping Vikrams bag and returning to his tree, only to be collected and carried away again, for the length of another story, until finally the prince learns wisdom.
