Leonardo Da Vinci's famous portrait; Mona Lisa goes missing from the Louvre. The theft goes unnoticed by the guards until art enthusiast, Louis Beroud (Matthew Zajac) alerts them to it. At first the police are convinced the painting has been stolen as an artistic declaration of war from the new guard against the old.
