A short summary of the previous episodes:
The international animal merchant Karbofoss
accompanied by his servant
comes to our country disguised as a tourist.
In reality, he's fulfilling his plan of kidnapping
a rare striped elephant which once belonged to him.
Using the latest weaponry, Karbofoss begins to fulfill his dastardly plan.
However in the thunderstorm,
unforeseen events take place,
and by chance, into these events are pulled
the nearby famous detectives, the Kolobok brothers.
