A hurricane is brewing in Trinidad. Into this maelstrom comes Jamie Kent, who's been stabbed but refuses to say how he got the wound. While Slate and Sailor are administering to his health when Jamie's girlfriend Ruth enters. The heavy, Conrad, enters shortly thereafter. Conrad attempts to kill Jamie, but Slate disarms him. Slate takes Jamie and Ruth to a doctor and drops Conrad off at the police. Sailor, enchanted by the rain, starts to dance. Two other heavies see her and and threaten her unless she reveals where they took Jamie. At the doctor's office we learn that Jamie is connected with these heavies and they are out to murder him. Slate comes back and saves Sailor, who under normal circumstances, would have faced a fate worse than death.
