Namir Sarcany plot to foil Doctor Antekirtt and trap Carpens in a web of escapes and betrayals. Sareany fears the Spaniard's grip while Namir schemes to mislead him by steering Carpena toward a doomed penal colony. The plan hinges on misdirection, timing, and the perilous crossing between Tangier, Ceuta, and Malta.
