A wealthy baronet becomes entangled with a secret criminal syndicate after confronting a blackmailer; he and an assortment of allies and dangerous associates navigate deception, burglary, and political intrigue. A red-haired woman, a determined Lady Kathleen, a captain, and Scotland Yard feature in investigations that uncover blackmail, a gaming house, kidnappings of prominent figures, and threats to the prime minister. Episodes move between suburban drawing-rooms, upscale clubs, and rural hideouts, culminating in rescues and a violent final confrontation that resolves the conspiracy.
