by Sax Rohmer
A serial play dramatised by the author from his novel of the same name, dealing with Secret Service - romance - adventure in the shadow of an international drug ring

Master of Eastern mystery, there can be few writers living who can handle better the sinister stock-in-trade of jewelled daggers, hashish, sliding doors, collapsing rooms, and enigmatic Orientals than Sax Rohmer, creator of the immortal Dr. Fu-Manchu.
White Velvet is a serial in the true Rohmer manner, and wastes no time in getting down to the job. Indeed, before the first instalment is over you will be caught up in the underworld of Port Said, hard on the trail of drug-smugglers and jewel thieves.
