Plot synopsis

Lee Falk begins to retell the events of the previous two stories. The Death of Diana Palmer Walker The Phantom at Sea

The Phantom takes the helicopter to the USA, where he visits Lily and Dave Palmer and tell them about Diana's death and his blame to it, saving Chatu when he could have let him die.

Meanwhile in Gravelines Maximum Security Prison in Rhodia, Diana, alias prisoner Adele Cole, has become sick and is visited by a doctor. She tries to tell the doctor that she is Diana Walker, but he only thinks the fever has affected her mind. However, he deems the harsh condition in which Diana is held as barbarism and the female warden agrees to assign her to the farm detail. The fresh air makes Diana start plotting an escape, even though she knows that the Phantom believes her to be dead.

At the Palmers, the Phantom suggests that he should take up Dave's old work with counter terrorism. Even though Dave has quit, he still have clearance for counter-terrorism and so the Phantom could be provided with information. Dave agrees.

The Phantom begins with taking out a sleeper cell, he then continues and follow up the loose ends. Occasionally chatting with his family.

It is now revealed that Chatu believes that he has killed Diana, but the blind seer knows that she is alive, though he don't tell Chatu. The seer then mentions that the Phantom has children, but when Chatu asks to be shown their faces, the seer refuses, claiming that the Python has had his revenge and that he won't help him again. Despite Chatu's threats, the seer refuses, claiming that even though the Phantom is gone, he will be coming someday for both of them.

The Phantom's rage through terrorism finally leads to that Secret Service notes that everytime that Dave Palmer checks a suspect or a case on his computer, something good happens for them and something bad for the suspects. They confront Dave, but he denies everything.

At sea, captain Savarna day dreams about fixing the Walker family, before deciding to visit her own in New York.
