The first in a new series of investigations by Superintendent Halcro, head of Room Thirteen - the control centre of Scotland Yard's undercover men.

An adventure serial in six episodes by Donald Wilson.
Starring William Franklyn, Lana Morris, Rona Anderson, Ewan Roberts

When General Campbell left London for a secret visit to Scotland, he thought he had covered his tracks. But his secretary, Isobel Gilmour, guessed he had gone to see a scientist called Fergus in Argyllshire, and followed him. So did Roger Kenyon, a government scientist interested in Campbell's past connection with a rocket fuel project called Operation Jehu; and so did the Rev. Murdo Aitcheson, who persuaded Alison, the General's daughter, to accompany him to a small fishing inn, where Aitcheson had an unexpected encounter with a Mr. Caldwell.
