The outlawed Pipeck can see no possibility for himself but to offer his services to Phra Ram.  Having flown over the sea and arrived on the mainland, he searches diligently for the camp of the monkeys.  As he is doing so, he stumbles on a foraging party under the leadership of the black monkey general Nilek, who immediately takes him to be a spy and orders his capture.

Pipeck's protestations are useless, and he is led into the monkey camp with his neck in a halter. There he is brought before the commander in chief, who, realizing what a prize they have captured, orders him to be taken before Phra Ram.
