Jessica visits the widow, Olivia Waverly, whose family runs a plantation in Jamaica (won in a cards game decades ago from the father of Jean-Pierre Dusant), for the surprise 21st birthday party of her son, Adam. By father's testament, Adam gets charge of the estate instead of his old-fashioned uncle Harry Waverly, who considers Adam too undisciplined, his brother, Mark, too dumb. Harry had arranged for Adam to wed Jean-Pierre's daughter, Michelle, so as to unite their adjoining estates. However, Adam presents his wife, Selina, whose father, witch doctor Calder Williams, opposes the union even stronger, saying a mortal voodoo curse and leaving a skull with a python as a 'wedding present'. That evening. Harry is found dead in his room, locked from the inside, with the snake. Next day, a toast (with wine offered by Dusant) is interrupted for the delivery of a voodoo doll. Next, Adam nearly dies from the estate's natural rat poison. A stained handkerchief inspires Jessica to set a trap. Written by KGF Vissers
