This is a story about a kingdom called ‘Moochhapur’. Bankim, a traveller on his way comes across this unique name for a place and wishes to go and see the same. The story is narrated by Bankim. When he enters the kingdom, he sees men with all types of moustaches—big, small, curled, and more. People appear busy with their work with large moustaches. Then he comes across a moustache salon where men are getting their moustaches massaged. Bankim then decides to visit the palace of this unique kingdom. He is stopped at the entrance as he does not have a moustache. Bankim goes to the salon and gets himself an artificial moustache and then goes to the palace again.
