When Montstuart confronts foreman Westbrook, the foreman threatens him with a knife. In self-defence, Montstuart shoots him. Now, he has to flee.

Under the name of Nicholsen, he returns to Canitoga and risks everything. Although their is a warrant for apprehension on him, Montstuart returns to the construction site and introduces himself as a new worker to the engineer Ingram. He soon finds out that the construction is still sabotaged and that Ingram is responsible for the sabotage. But Ingram already knows that Nicholsen is Oliver Montstuart.

The whole construction project is severely threatenend by a leak. In danger of his life, Montstuart has to close the leak to prevent an imminent explosion...
