Buz is released from jail and when he learns the Maharani is leaving aboard her yacht, Buz and Sweeney pursue the vessel in their seaplane. Buz confronts the Maharani aboard the yacht and she attempts to shanghai him, but he fights back against Skagg, during which Taboo's antics cause a fire to break out aboard ship. The yacht is destroyed with no sign of the Maharani aboard the lifeboats. Buz returns to explain Tot's death to the police, but they'd already correctly surmised what happened.
