Erich von Stalhein is in Jamaica.
The reason for this is that an old Nazi friend of his called Werner Wolff has
been living in Jamaica under the assumed name of 'Christen Hagen'. Wolff is
believed to have taken secret German documents with him when he fled Nazi
Germany. Wolff has now died of natural causes and his secret past has come to
light. He died whilst writing a vital letter to von Stalhein telling him where
the secret documents are hidden, however the letter and a map showing the
location of the documents both remained unfinished. Biggles and the team are
sent out to find the secret documents before von Stalhein can, as it is vital
that they should not fall into enemy hands. Investigations and clues lead
Biggles, Algy, Bertie and Ginger to the island where the documents are hidden
but there they must confront von Stalhein and his
cohorts, Zorotov and Napoleon Morgan. The dust cover shows Bertie and Ginger
trying to get the box with the plans in back to the aeroplane.
