He presents them with the beauty Ginny, who came up with a plan, under her influence, members of the gang unanimously decide to go to work. Bandits raid a nightclub and earn money to buy everything they need.
A gang ambushes on the road. According to the plan, Ginny poses as a victim of a road accident. Morgan and Ed Black turn over and set fire to her car and then hide in the bushes. The guard crawls out of the car that has arrived, and the driver does not lower the armored shutters due to the heat. Morgan gets close to the car, but the driver notices him in a small mirror and manages to warn the guard with a cry. Black with a rifle insures Morgan in the bushes, but his weapon misfires at a crucial moment. The guard wounds Morgan, but dies from his retaliatory shot. The driver manages to lower the shutters, although he also receives a bullet from Morgan.
