| In
12th Century India a huge ruby was bestowed with the power of good
and the curse of evil by the spilled blood of princess Lafla. In
the 18th Century the British stole it away. In today's India, smalltime
crook Paul Lorre steals the stone back, but while attempting delivery
to international fence Ludwig Van Hoeven, realizes the authorities
are onto to him and slips the priceless gem into the baggage of
the unsuspecting Sandy (Brett Stimely) and Stephanie McVey (Anna
Nicholas). Arrested on arrival at Madras by the very Clouseau- like
Inspector Ramesh, Lorre manages to indicate the American couple
and their streetwise taxi driver Shyam Sabu (Rajni Kanth) to Van
Hoevan's thugs. Sabu realizes that he is being followed, but does
not see the huge ruby fall into a crevice inside his trunk while
unloading Sandy and Stephanie at their hotel.
Soon Sandy and Sabu are both in action: Sandy in a brutal fight
with two thieves ransacking his room; and Sabu in a life-or-death
car chase and shootout.Stephanie gets kidnapped by Van Hoeven's
thugs.Van Hoeven contacts Sandy: Stephanie for the gem at the waterfalls
on the road to Bangalore. Without the ruby, Sandy has no option
but the police, but Sabu produces the stone igniting a vicious fight
between the two equally matched men, ending in a second agreement.
Sandy will pay well, but the ruby is his to exchange for Stephanie's
life. They prepare for conflict, Sabu letting his heathen friends
know their help may be needed. At every corner the bungling Ramesh
is attempting to keep up with the furious pace, always managing
somehow to fail. Sandy and Sabu are ambushed exiting the rain forests
but survive the shootout and capture two of Van Hoeven's men, learning
the lone secret passage before tossing them over the waterfalls.
Van Hoeven is giving a festive, lavish party. But Sandy and Sabu
have penetrated the palace with plans of their own, when they...drop
unexpectedly. The ruby proves to be a fake and they are moments
from execution when Sabu's heathens storm the fortress and a bloody
mellee ensues. Sandy, Stephanie and Sabu escape directly ino the
gun barrels of Ramesh's men. They are clean, Van Hoeven is arrested
and Inspector Ramesh is a hero...but the Bloodstone is still missing.
