The other hatches a plot to murder Paul Goodison. Pamela Goodison often reminds her husband that he is becoming spiritually and morally sterile. He no longer refers to the Gospel as his guiding light and is only concerned with accumulating wealth. The plotters build on envy and hate to commit the crime. After a failed attempt, Pamela is murdered leaving Paul devastated. One killer is caught and sentenced, while the mastermind escapes and settles abroad. Paul decides to travel and expand his knowledge on emerging nations particularly Barbados, Botswana, Burma, Egypt and Zimbabwe. During his travels, he seeks new adventures. In his weakened state, Paul ends up having tawdry affairs and becomes involved in drug trafficking. He loses his self-control and his self-respect. Paul meets Wendy on a cruise ship, becomes involved, and reluctantly proposes to her, which makes him even more depressed because he doesn't really love her. Then Paul stumbles upon the man who murdered his wife.
