One night, a 14-year-old boy collecting cicadas in the forest with other villagers disappears and cannot be found anywhere. There is a rumour that an alleged group of child kidnappers is prowling around the village at night. The villagers believe these kidnappers are trained and sent by the big hospitals in the city for a human organ transplant business. As the villagers are not sure whether the missing boy has been kidnaped by the prowlers or by the forest nymph, they organize a Village Defence Party to guard the village at night.
