The settlement is being terrorized by a gang of bikers, under the direction of a "Skull". A gang defeated the local police, and then bikers kill one of the members of the community, while imposing them an exorbitant tribute. Two of the Lilliputians go in search of fighters to protect the village and find a guy named Strannik (Wanderer). He agrees to their proposal, and then convenes the his team.
