Major Grom

Three armed men, dressed in red sports suits and disguised as villainous hockey players from the popular Soviet cartoon Puck! Puck!, break into a bank in St Petersburg. They intimidate visitors and try to find the manager in order to obtain the keys to the bank safe. Unable to find him, the leader of the gang grabs a little girl and threatens to shoot her if the manager does not come to him in a few seconds. As a result, a man appears from the opposite side of the room, claiming to be the manager and wearing the manager's badge. The leader sends another member of the gang, nicknamed "Psycho", with the "manager" to the safe. They approach the door, and the man opens it. The bandit first roars in anger, not seeing a mountain of money in front of him, but later finds the money inside a separate depository for cash savings and gold. In his euphoria, the robber begins feverishly putting everything into a cart. He eventually notices that the manager's face does not match the photo on his badge. Having been exposed, the man attacks the robber and knocks him out.

Nervous because of the long absence of "Psycho", the gang leader sends the third member of the gang, "Buster", to see what is happening. "Buster" finds "Psycho" unconscious on the floor inside the safe room and tries to revive him, when the false manager appears from the shadows, subduing him. The mysterious man comes out of the vault and meets a bank guard. He introduces himself as Igor Grom, police major.

The film flashes back to the beginning of the robbery, showing Grom trying to withdraw money from an ATM, which takes away his credit card and goes out of order. While the robbers take visitors hostage and search for a manager, Grom calculates possible options for neutralizing the criminal gang, but realizes that an open confrontation with armed robbers would end badly either for himself or for some of the hostages. At this time, he notices the real bank manager creeping away and decides to impersonate him, taking his clothes and badge. After that, the action returns to the present time. The gang leader is trying to hide his panic as the situation spirals out of his control. Suddenly, a cart with the disarmed "Psycho" and "Buster" rolls up to him, and Major Grom emerges. The furious leader shoots at him with multiple weapons, but Grom manages to hide behind a wall near the same ATM he was using before, which conveniently returns his credit card. The robber continues to fire until he runs out of ammunition, then decides to retreat with the money he has been able to steal. Grom chases after him.

The gang leader jumps into a getaway car, which drives off just as Grom exits the bank. Arriving at an intersection, the car is smashed by a garbage truck. The driver is badly injured, but the leader manages to climb out and begins to run. Grom catches up to him, and the two begin to fight. Grom is overpowered, however, and the criminal runs up the stairs to the top of a building under construction. Grom gains on him by climbing onto the statue of Poseidon and jumping to the third floor. After an extended chase, the villain is apprehended.

Grom is celebrated on television for foiling the robbery.

Before the credits roll, a brief scene shows the Plague Doctor—Major Grom's nemesis from the comic series—lighting a match and throwing it to the ground, after which a bright flame flares up, creating a segue to the events of the full-length film.
