Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado, arrives in Titipu disguised as a peasant and looking for his love Yum-Yum. Discovering that Yum-Yum is betrothed to Ko-Ko, a tailor recently raised to the noble rank of lord high executioner, Nanki-Poo is left hopeless. Pish-Tush and Pooh-Bah arrive with a decree from the Mikado for an immediate execution. Nanki-Poo, in his misery insists that it should be himself. Ko-Ko, however, is unable to kill a fly and decides that Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum should be married and flee while everyone pretends the execution occured!. The Mikado and Katisha, Nanki-Poo's former betrothed, arrive in Titipu. Discovering the execution of Nanki-Poo, the Mikado reveals that Ko-Ko,Pish-Tush, and Pooh-Bah are doomed to a horrible death for the accidental execution of his heir. Nanki-Poo suggests that Ko-Ko marry Katisha so she will beg for their mercy, and then decides that he and Yum-Yum can safely come back to life. The Mikado still unhappy, with a roundabout explanation from Ko-Ko of why the execution wasn't properly handled, is finally satisfied and all ends well!
