Overview: Back from an expedition with a fully loaded cargo, the Vikings decide to use a shortcut through a Danish canal, without paying the toll for it. They are caught and soon they either have to sail back or pay all their loot. Halvar decides to go back, only to face the prospect of a huge storm if he takes the long way home. When they come back to the canal and its toll, Vic tricks the Dane into believing the Vikings have been attacked and ransacked, when he actually hid their treasures under the drakkar.
