A goat herdsman in Morocco gives a rifle to his young sons for shooting jackals. However, the boys play with the gun and accidentally fire on the tourist bus in which Richard and Susan are travelling. Susan is seriously injured and it is believed the bus has been fired upon by terrorists. Meanwhile, Richard's children seem to have disappeared, as the nanny takes them with her to her son's wedding in Mexico and they get lost in the desert en route.
