But not only Kandinsky has his eye on Stanziani, the men of the freight forwarder Papasian are also watching him. Stanziani starts an affair with the nightclub dancer Brenda. It turns out that Papasian and Kandinsky split up the drug trade in Genoa. But Stanziani also wants to expose the backers. Stanziani's son dies in a kidnapping by Brenda's men. After the murder of Kandinsky and Papasian by Brenda killers, Stanziani kills Brenda in revenge. Before she dies, Brenda confesses that she received the orders from Goldsmith.
