General Mendoza suspects that his wife and Vasco are plotting to sieze his money, so he fakes his own death and arranges his daughter's kidnap (to bring her to safety). Unfortunately, Carmelita falls into enemy hands, but Steed manages to rescue her safely. Keel remains in London to treat the General.
