When that doesn't work, Colonel Stewart orders Johnny to attack a fortress and detonate a secret stash of dynamite. He alone realises that Johnny is the only man for the job. And, sure enough, he outsmarts everyone but lets Stewart in on his plan. The hero always wins!

Sybil & Guy

Theme Song sung by Susan Duncan-Smith and Cesare De Natale

You are searching just for what you are

And you go from town to town

To find yourself

No helper, no...

Don't go on, my boy.

No kill them, no.

And when you find that love has gone away

the world is crumbling down around

You walk around

Your tears have no right to cry

The pain you see

The pain you feel

The wrong you do

The hurt you feel...now

You cannot do it for yourself

It's not true

Try and turn the world the other way.

You can't think of being the one man

who has got the only right to live.

Now you have done what you should have

You've done even more than you could do, boy

Stop your fighting and find, find your place now

When there is no way to end your mistakes

Do you remember that I saved you once a time?

But I can't help this time if you don't stop

I don't want, I don't want now to take your life away.. no.. I won't this time...

Written by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis
