A world war is over but Great Britain is still menaced by its enemies. Recently released from their wartime service, Tommy and Tuppence are young, energetic... and broke. Joining forces, they advertise that they'll do anything for money. When they're hired by the government to hunt for a missing treaty, they discover a plot led by the mysterious "Mr. Brown" to destroy the nation! Can Tommy and Tuppence defeat Bolshevists, Sinn Feiners, trade unionists and Labourites and save Britain in her hour of peril?
