A husband-and-wife team of fascist propagandists smuggle themselves into the U.S. using the Fortuna, and the government wants Lucky to help them find their backer.

A woman who compulsively lies gives Lucky the runaround, trying to blackmail him for $25,000 and then asking for shelter on the Fortuna.

Lucky bets on a sure thing with Mr. Toby, who can't afford to lose so he hires a killer to dispose of Lucky.
