The Protectors have been hired by Sir Walter Crediton (Frederick Treves) to find his wayward daughter Susan who is somewhere in mainland Europe.
When they track Susan Crediton down, Harry Rule figures that she is a pawn in a dangerous game. She has a job where she has to go to a remote telephone box and read out some random numbers.
The numbers are some kind of code and Harry needs to use his computer. The code signifies car registration number plates and ferry timings.
The Protectors figure that someone is hiding drugs inside cars. Which are then being ferried to different parts of Europe. The unsuspecting drivers do not even realise what has been happening.
Harry Rule sets a trap, one that could lead him to find out who is the ultimate boss.
It is not a very action packed story, it is not even a story that makes a lot of sense. Putting drugs in a car at one end, taking it away at the other end. People phoning from random telephone boxes.
Even Harry's solo confrontation with the boss was underwhelming.
