Nesovershennoletnij demon Azzi oderzhim neuemnoj zhazhdoj dejstviya. Chtoby sovershit' nechto nebyvaloe, on puskaet v khod vsyu svoyu energiyu i izobretatel'nost', vytaskivaya iz nebytiya dazhe takikh propylennykh i iz'edennykh mol'yu personazhej, kak Frankenshtejn, doktor Faust, Prekrasnyj prints i Spyaschaya Krasavitsa. No bezalabernost' i neopytnost' Azzi v sochetanii s nestojkost'yu k alkogol'nym napitkam stavyat krest na vsekh ego velikolepnykh nachinaniyakh, i tol'ko pomosch' vysshikh sil spasaet yunogo nedotepu ot ser'eznykh nepriyatnostej.
