When Rincewind (David Jason) is finally expelled from the magical Unseen University after spending decades trying to learn magic. While his mind holds the key to one spectacularly powerful spell known as Octavo, Rincewind is unable to learn any other spells. Rincewind instead must opt for becoming a tour guide to a rich insurance salesman named Twoflower (Sean Astin). The two begin a grand adventure throughout the Discworld. As all of this is going on Ymper Trymon (Tim Curry), a power hungry member of the staff at Unseen University, is attempting to gain control. Rincewind and Twoflower become involved in an epic effort to save the world from impending disaster and Trymon himself.

Constantly failing at the Unseen University, the wizard Rincewind is given the task by the Patrician of looking after the Discworld's first tourist: Twoflower. The main character is the incompetent and cynical wizard Rincewind, who involuntarily finds himself as a guide to the naive tourist, Twoflower. After they are forced to flee from the city of Ankh-Morpork after a terrible fire they are sent on a journey across the disc which is unknowingly being controlled by a board game being played by the Gods. They meet two barbarians on their way out of morpork, Bravd and Weasel. After their visit to Wyrmberg, the upside-down mountain which is home to dragons that only exist in the imagination, their journey leads them to the country of Krull, perched on the very edge of the Discworld where they are thrown off the edge of the Disc due to the Krullian's urge to find out the gender of Great A'Tuin (the turtle which is swimming through space with four elephants resting the Disc on top).
