Zolo was Elaine’s husband killer who went to New York and killed a janitor while looking for a map sent to Joan Wilder. The Colonel tried to steal the map from Wilder and gets a ride from Ralph, who resembled Zolo until the former tricked him believing that he is French. Ralph takes Zolo to his base where the latter recruits his military cops to search for the heroes and the stone. Wilder meets Ralph and Ira towards the end but Zolo interferes, who has also captured Jack. Zolo takes Wilder to a pool of crocodiles and threatens her so that she gives him the stone. Jack kicks the emerald to Zolo, whose hand and the emerald get eaten by a crocodile. A gun battle ensues between Zolo and Ira’s groups and Zolo runs after Wikilledand Elaine. While Zolo tries to finish Wilder, she pushes him into a pit of crocodiles where he is killed.
