Axel gives Gregory's wife the assignment of bringing Annie to him. She slips Annie some drugged candy and Axel's men grab her and shoot Sandy.

She manages to get a message to Nick Gatt's men and Gatt rescues her from Axel and takes her to his mountain hideout. Gatt captures one of Axel's men and he tells Gatt how the takeover will happen.; While Nick Gatt is trying to figure out a way to stop Axel, Byron Bolo is working on a plan to eliminate Gatt and take over his rackets. Some of the businessmen go to John Tecum, the District Attorney, with misgivings about Bolo. Axel's top generals have all gathered in the waterfront hideout when Gatt's men move in, disguised as policemen, and take them to a ship bound for their "home country."; Nick Gatt brings Annie back to the Tecums, but he and Bryan Bolo are both killed in an off-panel shootout. The Tecums plan on taking Annie on a cruise to the islands.
