This is a hilarious comic series about the exploits of a young man, known as Young, who was sacked by his immediate boss at the factory where he works for sleeping on duty. And now, he wants to be rich by any means.
His ambition, without a requisite educational degree, usually puts him at cross purposes with his neighbours, employers and every other person he tries to get a contract from even as he tries his hands on all kinds of businesses, just to achieve his ambition.
How far will Young go to achieve his ambitious ambition?
