Annie was taken to the island of Tributo, where General Mustashio Toro held her and her fellow hostages for $30 million ransom. But one of Daddy's aides hanged the General and herded Annie and company through a secret passageway to the Warbucks yacht. There, Daddy declaimed the moral: "I recall Teddy Roosevelt's advice!
