Left unguarded, the other settlers are free to escape to the North, unpursued.

When the tanker is attached, Max drives it out himself, with Humungus and the Marauders in pursuit. With the help of the Gyro Captain, Max returns with a semi truck. When Humungus offers to let the peaceful settlers go if they give him all of their fuel, Max makes them a better deal: He'll procure a truck that can haul their oil tanker if they'll refuel his car and let him go on his way. However, Max befriends the unsocialized Feral Kid (Emil Minty) and soon wins over more of the local population. Max soon gains entry to the compound, but the leader Papagallo (Mike Preston) wants nothing to do with him.
