The town is excited for her arrival and so is Diabolik who plans to steal the ring by any means necessary. However, what Diabolik was not expecting was to be enchanted by the heiress. Torn between his feelings and his life as a high profile criminal, Diabolik does not realize that he is in more danger than he originally thought.
