The Parkers, twin sisters, are placed in theFBI'sWitness Protection Program after they witness arobbery at the localmuseum, in which the priceless Kneel Diamond is stolen. Unfortunately, the sisters have a problem with being blabbermouths; as a result, everywhere the Parkers are sent to live, the girls inadvertently end up revealing their witness status. The gang is led by a crime lord, Hatchew, who will do anything to get his hands on the diamond, which the thieves slipped into one of the girls' shoulder bag during their escape from thecrime scene. The gem ultimately ends up being set into one of the girls'necklace.
The family travels everywhere in theUnited States, fromTexas to aprairietown, and eventually have been moved to everygeographic location around theworld possible, with the single exception ofAustralia. Thus, the FBI send them to live inSydney, where they are given the aliases Maddie and Abby Turtleby. The girls have much trouble at first, especially with fitting in with theirpeers. Two assassins named Mac and Sidney are sent after them after discovering their location by breaking into the FBI office. The twins defeat Mac and Sidney by knocking them out, tying them to surfboards, putting clips in Sidney's hair, painting Mac's toenails, and threatening to put pink and bluebikinis on them. After the twins manage to convince them to change sides, they leave after the girls lure Hatchew to Australia. He comes after them, manages to get the diamond, and sets his thug on them. It looks like they are about to die, until Mac and Sidney return and defeat the thug, saving the girls. Hatchew nearly gets away on a seaplane, but the twins stop him by using a boomerang, and he is arrested by Katie, an undercover FBI agent posing as a lifeguard. The Parkers are finally able to return home to the United States with half the reward money for capturing the thieves.
