"Captain John Vedders played a dangerous game in that brilliant mansion - against the most beautiful and wicked woman spy in the world — in an effort to leash the brutal Dogs of War." His mission is to get back a vital and deadly formula for a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas than can kill millions.
