Synopsis:
The Witch sails to the South Seas to steal the valuable Bloody Rubies from their owner aboard the Islandia. Once she has stolen the gems she hides out on a nearby island until she can meet with a fence who will sell them in the Far East. The King tracks the Witch to the island and disguises himself as Trader Torne, the fence. He gets the gems from the Witch and strands her on the island empty-handed.
