In the ancient land of ‘Matchos’, Chronoclus, the ancient story teller, is instructing his young assistant , Continuity, in the history of  her people.  He tells her of the establishment of the practice of sacrificing a maiden to their god, ‘Yahboo’ until one year everything changed- we are taken back in time to that period  -  where we witness the ceremony of the selection of the sacrificial maiden  and it soon becomes apparent that women are very much second citizens in Matchos. Cerebralia is the chosen maiden (she is threatening the establishment by achieving feats that are only possible for men) However, as she is about to be sacrificed, the  country’s greatest warrior, Heros, interrupts the ceremony.  The elders are outraged but they dare not harm Heros for fear of  an uprising  and so banish both he and Cerebralia . They must cross the great mountain range and enter the country of ‘Libria’ where the warriors are seven feet tall and  from where none of their men have ever returned.

   We now move to Libria only to  learn that here it is the female that is dominant and those warriors that never returned are enjoying a pampered life. The citizens of  Libria worship the great god, ‘Booyah’ and ask her blessing on an expedition that must be made to Matchos because their stock of men has become so weakened by being over indulged that they will not be able to father fine girls for the future of  Libria. The expedition sets out but runs into Heros and Cerebralia. After nearly disastrous conflict both sides learn the true facts and decide to take the good news to Matchos where they are met by an army intent on destroying them because they see them as the advance guard of Libria’s great warriors. Luckily, before this can happen, the soldiers of Matchos desert to fraternise with the enemy. Heros now leads them all back to Matchos where they establish a new state of  Libmatchia.

 Chronoclus has the last say: it was many suns before the priests could agree to worship the true god, Yah-booyah and the battle of the sexes was not quite over.
