Plot summary
Nanki-Poo leaves home rather than go through with a marriage he does not want, and takes the guise of a musician. In Titipu he meets Yum-Yum and falls in love with her, but she is promised to her guardian, Ko-Ko, who holds the office of Lord High Executioner. Ko-Ko intends to marry Yum-Yum himself, and he has been told he must carry out an execution before the Mikado, Nanki-Poo's father, visits in a month. When Ko-Ko needs a condemned man, Nanki-Poo offers himself, on condition that he may spend his last days with Yum-Yum. Katisha, the bride Nanki-Poo left behind, arrives in Titipu with the Mikado.
