Preparing a trip to sell off guns to the rebels, Cammell learns about the legend of The Phantom from an old man who claims to have met him as a child. Dismissing The Ghost Who Walks as native superstition he later meets up with General Gamin, the rebel leader, and delivers his merchandise.

While doing business, they are discovered by three patrolling members of the Jungle Patrol, and in order not to get caught Cammell ruthlessly has them all killed. Knowing that the Patrol is protected by The Phantom, Gamin immediately explains to Cammell that their arrangement now is over.
