In escaping from both she enters the car of David Lacy (Harlan), a stranger, which proves to have been stolen from [[Rum-running|bootleggers]] and is swept into a succession of situations including an attack by hijackers, a fight in a private yacht, and rescue by David – who takes Connemara to his home.
