A Play in Two Acts by Vivian Tidmarsh.
Played by the Station Radio Players
How to crush the pirate gangs that hide among the islands round the Chinese coast is the problem confronting the Consular Service, with their meagre patrol of two destroyers for every 500 miles of water. Force of arms being out of the question, an exceptionally cunning plan is needed to defeat the highly-organized, well-informed pirates, and their terrifying leader, Ah Foo. Fortunately, by means of the deepest secrecy (even the captain of the English vessel is kept in ignorance), such a plot is concocted, which is designed to outwit and lure to destruction the Pirate King himself.
