Unfortunately for him, the leader of the gang is his own uncle, Dock Tobin, his partner in crime of the old days. In order to stay alive, Link convinces the old man that he's come back in order to resume his criminal activities. Link's cousin, Claude, doesn't believe a word of Link's speech and is waiting for the right moment to get rid of him.
