Leslie Konda, a promising young French footballer 'discovered' by talent scout Didier, has just signed his first contract with a Spanish club.  In time, Leslie's fame grows and reaches the African state of Botswanga, his country of origin.  He even receives a personal invitation from the president of Botswanga, Bobo Babimbi, a football enthusiast who has recently come to power following a military coup.  Accompanied by Didier, Leslie arrives in the country of his ancestors to be decorated by President Bobo, only to find that Bobo is a megalomaniac dictator of the worst kind.   No sooner has he arrived than Leslie is coerced by Bobo into playing for his national team, the Crocodiles of Botswanga...
