Kruger is practicing karate when Draper tells him about John Peter McAllister and Max Keller saving Shelley Fairchild. Kruger grabs Draper by the throat for failing to get the other half of a map and tells him to do what is necessary to get the map piece. Later, Kruger asks Tanehama where the other half of the map is and starts to choke him, but in the end trusts that he doesn't have the other half. John and Max break into the house, but they are caught by Draper and Thug 1 and Thug 2. Max manages to escape, but John is captured by Kruger. Kruger tells John the history of the Java Tiger which Kruger and Leo Fairchild are searching for. After torturing John, Draper tells Kruger that no matter how much he tortures John, he won't talk.

Shelley drives to Kruger's house and tells Thug 1 that she brought the map piece. Max sneaks onto the property. John manages to get himself free and meets up with Max. As they are about to be captured again, Leo drives up and saves them and they all get into his vehicle and drive away. On Pali Kai island Finley warns Kruger that John, Max, Leo and Shelley are coming. Max ambushes Thug 1 and Thug 2, but has to be helped by John. Kruger and Draper pull guns on them, but Leo saves them. Kruger gets away and the volcano on the island starts to erupt. John and the others find the Java Tiger, but Kruger takes the gun from Leo. The volcano further erupts and John and Kruger fight while Max leads Shelley and Leo out of the cave. As Kruger is about to shoot John, he sets off a trap and is killed.
