Synopsis:
Slam and Shorty travel to Egypt where they are immediately attacked in the streets. An agent of the English embassy rescues them and takes them to Lord Atherton, an old friend of Slam's. Atherton explains that the attack was directed by a slave trader named Seth whom Slam has fought before.

Seeking to lure Seth from hiding, Slam walks the streets waiting for another attack. He is taken prisoner by a female agent of Seth, whom Slam then seduces. Slam is taken to Seth's hideout where he overcomes the slave trader's forces. The woman Slam seduced, saves Slam by hurling herself into Seth, causing them to both fall to their deaths.
