Meanwhile, Damon, after the assault, decides to steal the fabled treasure of the lost Incas, guarded, according to legend, somewhere in the mountains. After having again attempted to kill Alan, Jerry is chased by Sampson and his comrades eliminate the band of outlaws. In turn, Samson, Alan and his companions are captured by the Incas and are to be sacrificed. The Queen of the Incas, Mysia, falls in love with Alan, and tries to help him escape, but the High Priest condemns her to also be sacrificed. The situation is resolved by Samson who with his strength causes the collapse of the temple. Mysia escapes with Alan who will become his wife, and Janet marries Samson.
