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.

==Synopsis==
A criminal gang led by notorious smuggler Panja is set to steal a secret source of energy that emanates from a meteorite that has landed on a remote area of [[Andaman Islands]]. They know that the local tribe jarwas have no idea of its value. A patriot, Mr. Gunada Talukdar, flees from notorious Cellular Jail in pre independence era and reaches the island and later chosen as King of the tribals. Thirteen-year-old Santu joins his uncle Raja Roychoudhury alias Kakababu who is sent on behalf of the Intelligence to survey the island. The two leave Calcutta by ship for the Andaman Islands. Santu's sharp eye soon detects that the criminals are on board. Santu is instrumental in helping his uncle prevent the dastardly plot the criminals are about to carry out. Kakababu and Santu went to the alienated island of [[Jarawas (Andaman Islands)|Jarawas]] ignoring the government restrictions. In the meantime Panja and his henchmen were captured by Jarwas while they were trying to steal the power energy. Kakababu recognised the leader of jarwa, the old man as Mr. Talukdar, and after a short fight with Panja's gang they returned to the mainland with the help of police. Although questionable on the ground of showing the Jarawa tribal-folk just as the colonial British government would specifically mark out the then resident Indian population-groups as uncivilized, belligerent sub-human 'natives', the film gained considerable popularity by synthesizing educative knowledge-bits for young filmgoers (and their parents), exotic adventure and patriotism.
