A man out on a boat sees another man walking along the surface of the water. He demands the secret of waterwalking from the reluctant man at gunpoint and the other man relents under duress. They dive beneath the waves, the man rubs coral on his feet, and the ritual is completed. He heads to the beach, thinking that he's going to make a mint, and promptly sinks into the sand.
