When his application for transfer to Africa finally came through in 1926, Ionides became successively an ivory poacher, a big game hunter, a game warden, and a devout herpetologist.

When the Trappists find him too secular, to contemplate, they gently return him to the cruel, FBInfested world. After doing 18 months in a military prison, Demara borrows the warden's admirable prison record, gets a key job in a Texas pokey, makes a hit with staff and prisoners alike before he has to run.
