The twins Kara and Yara, rich girls who ran away to join the partisans, have been parted by the Second World War, each believing the other is dead. Kara slips out of the hands of Bulgarian soldiers only to land in bombed-out Sofia, and as the kingdom collapses under Soviet occupation she turns into the communist Captain Tanya, still bent on settling accounts with Captain Night, once a hunter and now a fugitive from the new regime. Yara, who has lost her memory, is saved by Serbian partisans, takes the name Snezhana and falls for their commander, Panther. Her adventures lead to a band of dwarfs in King Stefan Uroš's old silver mines, a British pilot in need of rescue and the fortune-teller Ganga. Heirs to a fortune that everyone wants, both sisters will have to leave the Balkans, by very different roads.
