The Stardust Crusaders are pitted against another of DIO's assassins-N'Doul and his deadly water Stand, the Egyptian god Geb.

The Stardust Crusaders encounter a gambler named D'Arby who claims to have information they need. They have to beat him in the ultimate wager-one where their very souls are at stake thanks to the use of his Stand Osiris.

On the way to Egypt, the Stardust Crusaders encounter a freighter with only two passengers - an orangutan and Jean-Pierre Polnareff, both Stand users.

Polnareff is attacked by the Stand known as the Hanged Man, an enemy Stand. Polnareff is lured into a trap set by J. Geil, user of the Hanged Man and his partner, Hol Horse.
