But Franz, a racist who sees Africans merely as animals, just wants him to leave again immediately. Then, Franz gets abducted and imprisoned by the rebels.

He does so to make a deal with Franz as soon as they have freed him, but the mercenaries get attacked on more than one occasion by the natives. |
