When street urchin Danny accidentally buys Maharajah the elephant at an Edinburgh auction, his new employer, a zookeeper, dresses Danny up as a bejewelled Indian prince. As he rides Maharajah to his new home in England, even Queen Victoria follows their journey with delight. But a rival zookeeper wagers on their failure, and soon Dannys shady connections threaten to overturn the mission. Can Maharajah walk 200 miles in seven days? And will Danny ever escape his past?
