To prevent another Cuban crisis, a treaty proving that nuclear missiles are ready to hit the eastern United States must publicly be exposed. The IMF has to get the treaty out of a safe, which can only be opened by Ramone or Miguel Fuego, who are behind the secret nuclear arms plan.

Paris acts as if he were running from the police. He enters Ramone's car and quickly informs him that Ramone’s father was killed by his own brother, Miguel Fuego and that his father can witness the fact. He is kept prisoner in Madrena prison for twenty years. Paris then has to leave the car quickly in order to escape policeman Jim chasing after him. 

Ramone Fuego cannot believe that anybody is imprisoned in a prison which has been shut down 60 years ago. He also cannot imagine that his friend and uncle Miguel might have killed his father, since everybody knows that he was killed during the revolution. Still, Ramone cannot drop the thought. He meets Dana and, while he gets involved with her, her husband, Doug, comes in and a struggle is provoked in which Doug gets "killed". Now Ramone is jailed - in Madrena prison. 

Being jailed in the ancient cell he suddenly sees a stone moving and an old man, in dirty and torn prison clothes, makes way into his cell by pushing the stone in the wall. He obviously is totally unaccustomed to contact with other people and has difficulties to concentrate on listening or speaking. The features of the old, half mad, man resemble Paris' and he turns out to be his father. 

Without any care for the dragged, filthy man, but interested in finding out about his own father, Ramone interrogates the desperate man about Victorio Fuego, his father. Stumbling for words, loosing track and concentration, the old man reveals that Victorio Fuego was never killed. He mentions a diary where all is written down, but looses track again. He tries, but he cannot remember where the diary is hidden. When there is a chance to escape, Ramone uses it without caring for the old man. 

As Paris removes his mask, he is sure that they are dealing with a man who is ice-cold. Being an escapee himself now, Ramone meets Paris again. Without caring for Paris' feelings, he lies telling him that his father has died while trying to help him get out of the prison. Paris remembers his father and shares memories with Ramone. Amongst others he mentions by the way that he worked as a wax sculptor. Suddenly Ramone realizes where the mentioned diary is hidden: In the catafalque of his own father. 

By now Barney and Doug have operated from the attic above the catafalque: They have raised the glass coffin and exchanged it’s contents with a catafalque containing a diary containing all information the IMF needs to feed Ramone with. Indeed Ramone destroys the catafalque and, together wit Paris, finds the diary. He learns that his father is alive and kept in an asylum, vegetating and that Miguel is responsible for it to gain power for himself. The only way to take revenge Ramone can think of is to expose the treaty Miguel keeps in the safe. He goes to his office with Paris who only needs one moment of distraction for Ramone to quietly leave - with the treaty.
