Easy gets control of the boat from Dawson and dumps the gold overboard in order to get away. The group is picked up by a ship and return to the United States. In the offices of McKee Industries, I.R. Splendix and his son, Rowden, plot to steal Carol away from Wash. Mr. Splendix sends Rowden to show Wash and Easy around McKee Industries, but Easy recognizes Rowden as the man who knocked him on the head and gave him amnesia. After Rowden recovers from the beating that Easy gives him, he works on his plan to get Wash in trouble and steal Carol. Splendix gets Easy out of the way by having him promoted to assistant production manager of the hairpin department.; Wash, still on the run with his bum "father," hides out on a houseboat. They end up at the farm of the bum's long-deserted wife and son. After a reconciliation, Wash goes off on the houseboat by himself. Easy follows the trail and brings Wash back to the McKees.; Rowden Splendix plants a fake story about Wash's father returning from Africa, then hires a bum to play the part. The bum makes a shambles of the McKee mansion and Wash is helpless to stop him.; With Wash's bum of a father fouling up his relationship with the McKees, Rowden Splendix and his father up the ante by having him take a woman "customer" out on the town. Easy does some detective work and finds out what's going on.; Easy goes to the police and fingers Bolito Coker as the one who killed I.R. Splendix. The police follow up and Wash is cleared. Unfortunately, Wash is still on the run with his bum "father." He uses a dress to disguise himself as a little girl, but that draws unwanted attention from the authorities.; Easy finds Wash on his "date" with I.R. Splendix's hired girl, Fifi, and substitutes himself at the pair's table. He tells the woman what Splendix's plan is and the girl's "manager" goes to Splendix to shake him down for $10,000 to keep quiet. After Fifi shows up at the McKee's and makes a scene, Wash goes home completely crushed. At home, Mother Grey and Virginia tell him the whole story. Wash, infuriated, threatens to kill Splendix. He goes to Splendix's house and finds that someone else has shot him. The police arrive and Wash goes on the run. He meets up with his bum "father" and hops a freight.; Bull Dawson steals the country's $6 million in gold, but the boat gets hung up on a sandbar. He frames Mr. McKee as the thief and pretends to join the rebels. Easy creates a diversion to rescue McKee, then has a brawl with Dawson to gain control of the gold-laden boat.; Wash has followed Carol McKee and her father to Panazuela. He brought Captain Easy, who was suffering from amnesia from a blow on the head. They are thrown into prison when a revolution starts. When the prison is shelled, Easy is hit on the head and recovers his memory. The group hijacks a ride to the airport. Meanwhile, Bull Dawson, who has been heading the army of the President, sends the ruler on a plane ride while planing on taking the country's treasury for himself.
