The play Olwendo lwa Tendo rotates around a kingdom eaten up by corruption. The Emperor (Patrick Ssembusi) does everything to spread the epidemic when he turns a deaf ear to stories that his men are corrupt.

The head of cultures (Benon Kibuuka) brings Ndausi who is not the right queen to the palace and tries to kill Jean but spiritual powers protect her and ends up becoming the queen and Benon and group die as they struggle to steal the position.
