The dapper Max is excited to sneak shots of a Rubenesque beauty, because he's bored, with nothing else to photograph on the deserted French beach.

Swimming back out, she disappears under the ocean, driving Max frantic with guilt. Written by David Stevens

Jone in turn is lusted after by Arbace, an Egyptian high priest of Isis. When Nidia beseeches Isis for help in capturing Glaucus' heart, Arbace gives her a "love" potion, which really will affect his mind and not his heart, thus opening the way to Jone for himself.
