Henry Sugar is the main character in the story (as the title suggests). Henry learns how to use yoga powers, and at first uses them for selfish reasons. Later in the story a stern police officer suggests he give it to orphanages. So Henry travels the globe as a sort of Robin Hood, "stealing" from rich casinos and giving the $7,000,000 sum every year to orphanages. While doing this he gets found out and has to wear disguises, this is when he meets Max, his "partner in crime." Together they are able to establish 3 orphanages and give a huge sum of money to needy children all over the globe.
