When you see a pirate preparing to scuttle you, the obvious thing is to try to stop him in time. Eden glimpsed the Jolly Roger at Suez, and the enormous amount of Russian equipment already captured in the Middle East proved him right.

Evil is the younger brother (Robert Wagner) whom the shepherd, in the absence of a midwife, "brought into the world with his own hands." When a plane rumored to be carrying gold crashes on top of The Mountain just as winter is setting in, little brother begs big brother to guide him up the mountain so that he can loot the plane...
