Plot

Raja Roy Chowdhury alias Kakababu and his nephew, young Santu take a trip to Kenya, Africa. On reaching their destination for a vacation, they get along with a Bengali man, Amal and learn that the hotel is going through a change of ownership along with a string of problems. Their vacation starts on a disturbing note when Kakababu receives a threat call from a stranger but he ignores it. On speaking to the current owner, Mr. Livingstone, Kakababu finds out that he is eager to sell off the property. It leads him to believe that some people are conspiring to acquire the hotel at a much lower price. The new owner tells them about the mysterious disappearance of two German tourists and how it has drastically affected their hotel business. He also tells them how the Masai tribe has been poaching wild animals and selling off their skin to protest against the government policy. A Kenya Government official and businessman, Mr. Ninjane invites Kakababu to visit his hotel in Masai Mara forest. After an adventurous journey, they reach the hotel, Little Viceroy. Kakababu comes across some shady people in the hotel, senses foul play and decides to dig deep. As he starts enquiring, they get sucked into yet another dangerous game of life and death.^[8]
