Desperate to switch vehicles (because they assume they are being followed), Smith & Jones stop at a truck stop, far from Gloconda. Smith attempts to commander a driver, but his hunger gets the better of him, and he find the local popularity of the proprietor's niece (a cute mechanic) palatable. He drags her to the restroom and drinks greedily, until Magenta stops him. They leave the unconscious girl on the ground, where the cat's wails will hopefully bring her timely assistance.
