Punjab the Wizard, and including one of the most famous Little Orphan Annie

that never wears out and promises to make the world a better place for everyone.
Unfortunately, for both Eli and the world, evil forces are determined to steal
his formula and use it for their own purposes. The only ones in their way are
Annie, "Daddy" Warbucks, and their new ally, the indomitable Punjab!
