Plot summary
In Trigan City, a magnificent large palace of glass has been built, where the Trigan Global Exhibition will take place. Trigo will attend the opening.
Extremists want to assassinate Trigo during the opening, and they give Yuppa that task. Secret agent 756, who had infiltrated the extremists, informs the police of the impending plans, but he is himself murdered. Janno, Keren, and Roffa are assigned to protect Trigo and hide in the roof beams of the palace.
When Trigo enters the palace, Yuppa also climbs into the beams. He shouts that there is a fire, and the million people in the palace try to rush outside, threatening to trample Trigo. Then Keren appears, attempting to arrest Yuppa, and the people in the palace see this happening. They no longer want to run outside. Trigo decides to build extra doors in the palace.
