This happens despite the fact that a certain hostility or at least distrust persists between different members of the group. Parallel to the vicissitudes of the project, the two couples recombine, whereby Harry becomes Maria's lover and Billy Gwendolen's. After several vicissitudes during the sea crossing, including the disappearance of Harry, the protagonists are shipwrecked on the coast of North Africa, where the local authorities capture them to release them after some time.

At the end of the story, the two couples will return to their place of origin and reunite, while the gangsters will be arrested.
