Plot

A dying matriarch reveals to her granddaughter that a hidden treasure awaits in Leningrad, Russia. Word spreads, attracting a motley crew of treasure seekers, each driven by their own greed. With only a cryptic clue—it's buried beneath a lion statue—they descend upon the city known for its lion monuments. As the quest intensifies, the Soviet militia catches wind of the treasure hunt, dispatching an undercover agent to investigate. Chaos and hilarity ensue as the treasure hunters navigate not only their competition but also the watchful eyes of the authorities in their pursuit of riches.
