He leaves, and soon after sends one of his Chinese servants to the inn, requesting him to come and see him at once. On his arrival he is persuaded to seek the treasure with Dr. Nicola, the latter explaining that he is more experienced than the other two men in such matters. The treasure hunter finally agrees to all that Dr. Nicola suggests. However, the other two find out that they have been betrayed, and make up their minds to have revenge. Secretly they board the steamer on which Dr. Nicola and their betrayer are passengers and put an infernal machine in the hold. Dr. Nicola, always ready for an emergency, appears suddenly from behind them and forces them to throw the machine overboard. Later on, when Dr. Nicola has taken lodgings in a small country inn, the two treasure hunters send a scoundrel into his room with the intention of disabling him. Again the doctor awaits his assailant, and successfully hypnotizes him as soon as he enters the room. Finally, after all these troubles, Dr. Nicola and his man find the treasure, arriving on the spot just before the other two, who are very much put out at the result of their efforts, and as a last resort they try to get hold of the treasure in Dr. Nicola's home. But the doctor again gets the upper hand, and to put a stop to their game altogether, he hands them over to the police.
