He posts an advertisement in the newspaper, seeking for adventure... and immediately finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue involving an international gang of criminals whose aim is the destruction of Great Britain. The leader of the criminals is the evil genius, Carl Peterson, who is to be Drummond's opponent and sworn enemy through a series of adventures.
