Alma is about to be sold to Schomberg by the corrupt leaderdirector of the band who has enslaved the women for prostitution. She begs Heyst to help her. Having sworn off close relationships because of his past, he is challenged by her request, but agrees to help her. He escapes from the island with Alma, and they go back to his island and eventually become lovers. Schomberg seeks revenge by attempting to frame Heyst for the murder of a man who had died of natural causes and later by sending three desperadoes Pedro, Martin Ricardo Rufus Sewell, and Mr. Jones Sam Neill to Heysts island with a lie about treasure hidden on the island.
