Once in Algiers, both groups are forced into an uneasy partnership; their search, through the mountains, ends in a cave where they find an immeasureable, priceless collection of jewels; their getaway provokes an Arab attack in which one of them is killed; and finally, when Brandon is willing to sacrifice their lives to safeguard their stake, Martin jettisons the jewels but retrieves his girl.
