Adventurer Shark comes to a small village near a diamond-miners' camp, and local police arrest him, accusing him of having committed a bank robbery in a neighboring town. The police also confiscate the diamond mine for the state, which incites the miners to revolt, but they're defeated. Shark, Father Lizzardi, Castin, his daughter, and Djin, a whore Castin loves, flee into the jungle and fight for their lives.—Stephan Eichenberg <[email protected]>
