To his horror, Galaxian finds that the only ambassador available for the task is Wilco Roger, a rather unorthodox character who sports a disgraceful record of incompetence. Nevertheless, Wilco must achieve complete success in this duty or, by way of punishment, spend the rest of his days in exile on the dreaded planet Gonk! Wilco ponders his fate and accepts the challenge along with a ban on the use of his supernatural powers (he can appear and exit in a puff of smoke), except in the case of extreme emergency. Arriving on Earth, Wilco soon realises the causes of unrest in the form of an all-out war between the two communities of Beatland and Balladisle, with music at the root of their mutual dislike. Some play ballads, others play beat, but both sides insist that their music is tops! A certain Mr. A&R who presides over an annual music contest between the beat groups of Beatland and the ballad singers of Balladisle has, in an effort to appease the two islands, declared the contest a draw for the past three years, but this has only succeeded in aggravating the situation. Wilco Roger has, however, thought of a better idea to bring unity and tolerance to the two rival lands and decides to take a leaf from the works of William Shakespeare in the form of a Romeo and Juliet plot involving Steve, a prominent Beatlander, and Helen, the daughter of Balladisle's Prime Minister! Finally resorting to his supernatural powers, Wilco manoeuvres a successful and happy ending to his desperate efforts, but not before he experiences a hectic 'battle of music' and hears a host of rousing musical numbers from the two most 'with it' groups and singers ever to inhabit planet Earth.
