Fifteen-year old Mario is the Jackass of Puerto de Santa Maria. His silly songs, tricks and mimicry are an embarrassment to his widowed father. Considered old enough to learn a trade, Papa hires Mario out to a trading ship bound for New Spain. While collecting water and coconuts, the landing crew is attacked and Mario becomes the lone captive of the Jaguar People. Without a way home, he is soon transported to the capital city and traded to the King. As a Royal Fool, can Mario use his talents as a jackass to survive the intrigues among the Royal Court of the indigenous Jaguars and fine his way home?
