Sally-Anne is on a harrowing quest to find Max out in the desert and deliver life-saving water, against all odds. Elsewhere in the expanse of sand and sun, Max’s horse begins to slow and drops to the sand, exhausted by the effort. Max rolls out of the saddle and frees his hands from the ropes that bound him. Time passes and the horse dies, but despite the setback, Max is able to remove the mascot head from his shoulders and finally take a look at his surroundings.
