Synopsis

Simon Bubumba, the brother of President of the small African state of Murundi, is kidnapped. At the same time a stone from Moon has been stolen from Indian Museum of Kolkata. Kakababu's friend, CBI Officer Narendra Verma seeks help from Kakababu. As per his suggestion Kakababu (Sabyasachi), Sontu (Soham) and his friend Jojo reaches Palamau Forest Bunglow to investigate suspected kidnapper Major Thakur Singh (Mrinal). They outsmart him to find that he is lodging a fake Bubumba. Then they reach Gangtok where they find Bubumba and also finds the thief who had stolen the stone collected from the Moon's surface by U.S. astronauts.

Plot

A few precious pieces of moonstones have been brought by American astronauts from the Moon to be exhibited in museums all over the world. One such moonstone gets stolen from the Indian Museum, Kolkata. At the same time, Simon Bubumba, brother of President Bubumba of the African state of Murundi, who has come to India for diplomatic reasons, gets kidnapped from his guest house. Raja Roy Chowdhury a.k.a Kakababu is requested by his friend, CBI official Narendra Verma, to go to Major Thakur Singh, a powerful and wealthy lord of a village in the forests of Daltonganj, as he is suspected of kidnapping Simon Bubumba in demand of heavy ransom. Kakababu's nephew Santu and Santu's friend Jojo accompany him on this adventure. After a series of attacks and counterattacks, Kakababu finally has Thakur Singh captivated, only to find that the man imprisoned in his house is an impostor. Kakababu travels to the hills with a briefcase supposedly having the ransom money. After he is taken to the kidnapper's den by the kidnapper's henchmen, he discovers that the mastermind behind the operation is Simon Bubumba himself, who faked his own kidnap to get the money. After they are surrounded by Narendra Verma's forces, Santu discovers that the ring in Simon's hand contains the stolen moonstone. He deduces that Simon had the stone stolen to increase his chances of becoming the president as he has a belief in astrology.
