In the city of Paris, a teenage girl named Maria lives a normal life as a high school student, but she secretly protects the city as the superhero Scarlet bettle using a magical jewel that gives her special powers. At school, Maria notices that her classmate Alexander seems stressed and distracted because his father puts a lot of pressure on him to be perfect. While everyone continues their day, Maria begins to sense that something strange is happening in the city.




Hidden in a dark tower outside the city, a mysterious villain named Nocturne watches the people of Paris carefully. He looks for people who are feeling strong negative emotions because those feelings make it easier for him to manipulate them. When he senses the anger of a scientist who feels ignored and unappreciated, he decides to use that anger for his own plans.


The scientist, Dr Corvin is furious that his dangerous research was shut down and that no one respected his work. Nocturne secretly encourages his anger and convinces him that the city deserves to see his power. Dr. Corvin becomes the villain Ricinus, using a deadly poison called Ricin that he created in his lab. He plans to release it slowly around the city so people will finally recognize how powerful he is.



Strange illnesses begin spreading in parts of Paris, and people start feeling weak and scared. Maria quickly transforms into Scarlet Bettle while Alexander secretly transforms into the hero Night Claw, who helps protect the city. The two heroes meet in the streets and realize someone is spreading poison, and they must stop the villain before more people get hurt.
