Corto Maltese, Tristan Bantam and Professor Steiner are heading to Bahia to visit Tristan's half-sister Morgana. En route, they pick up Cayenne, a fugitive. In Bahia, Tristan meets Morgana for the first time. Tristan and Morgana are taken prisoner by their father's lawyer, Milner, who says he is there to eliminate their father's heirs in order to claim their father's fortune. Corto Maltese interrupts the discussion by taking the lawyer prisoner and dismissing his minions with a ruse. Corto frees his friends locked up in a room and gives Milner to Cayenne, who has an old score with the lawyer.
