Synopsis:
Helena sees a newspaper headline proclaiming that her father Guido is still alive. She contacts Donald Campbell, the family lawyer, to arrange a meeting. Campbell has rigged up a dummy to look like her father and tricks Helena into revealing her secret identity. Campbell, aka Omerta, planted the story to lure Helena into the open. He tries to kill her, but she escapes.
Helena returns home, the questions her bodyguard. She learns that his sister was once abducted by the same man who took Helena as a child. Years later, he killed the kidnapper, then joined Bertinelli's mob. He became Helena's protector to make up for not stopping her abduction years earlier.
With knowledge in hand, Helena tracks down the silk wrappings she found inside the box containing her father's eyes and fingers. Omerta is waiting for her. She is captured and turned over to Mandragora.
