Noted Professor Potter of Peabody University has gone missing which in and of itself was worrisome. Worse, though, is that he had been working on 'banthrax bacili', deadly germs which could kill thousands. When he vanished, so did a test tube of that horrible disease. It is the job of Jet Scott to work with Potter's beautiful daughter, Tawney, to locate the man and the germs. Using a powerful computer (this is 1953), they determine he is likely out looking for "The Seven Cities of Cibola" said to hold great treasure.
