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

Roger Kenyon was astonished to find that Isobel Gilmour was his own former secretary, Isobel MacDonald. After persuading Roger that Alison Campbell was in no immediate danger, Isobel took him to the shepherd's bothy where, as she suspected, General Campbell was hiding. Campbell, still obsessed with his plan to sell Vanbrugh's fuel discovery privately, in order to provide a fortune for the dead inventor's destitute widow, and for Alison and Isobel, refused to listen when Roger warned him the game was up. Later, while Roger and Johnny Brookman were on their way to the bothy, they found the body of the missing oil negotiator, Caldwell.
