The beautiful one disappears from its cabaret and Coplan, guided by Théler, discovers, in Eastern Turkey the castle which dominates the Gardens of the Devil. It is the den of Hugo, the proper brother of Mara, ready to destroy the cities in the name of disarmament. Coplan which found Mara " or Eva" , any support with Hugo refuses.
