Duncan Snyder is an unscrupulous trader who does business in stolen diamonds and doesn't even shy away from murder. On a return flight from one of his shops over the mountains of Canada , he kills his pilot and jumps off with a parachute.

He, initially friendly and helpful, soon turns out to be the real monster he is and takes the Kemps hostage. They should first dig him free and then be killed.
