Amidst this chaos, Warren and Ivan, a young nobleman, discuss the mysterious disappearance of Elinor and Rika, who were last seen in their home. As they search for clues, they gather some Boy Scouts to aid in the rescue. However, their journey is fraught with danger as the children have been kidnapped by criminals who plan to exploit their beauty for begging.
