Bloodstone Plot
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. In today’s India, small-time crook Paul Lorre steals
the stone back, but while attempting delivery to inter-
national fence Ludwig Van Hoeven, realizes the authori-
ties are onto him and slips the priceless gem into the bag-
gage of the unsuspecting Sandy and Stephanie McVey,
Lorre manages to indicate the American couple and their
streetwise taxi driver Shyam Sabu Rajinikanth to Van Ho-
even’s thugs. Sabu realizes that he is being followed, but
he does not see the huge ruby fall into a crevice inside his
trunk while dropping 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 and proposes Stephanie in
exchange for the gem at the waterfalls on the road to
Bangalore. Without the ruby, Sandy has no option but
