Masaharu Kenda is back! This second adventure story finds Kenda in French Indochina. It is the summer of 1941. The Japanese Imperial Navy's 41st Sentai has been sent to Hainan Island to provide air superiority over the Tonkin Gulf. Kenda's reputation as an investigator has preceded him, and an Intelligence Officer needs his special talents. An illegal supply chain has been providing war goods to the Chinese Army.

Both see the advantage in aiding the Chinese in their battle against the Japanese. Both sides attempt to prevent Kenda and his colleagues from stopping the supply network.

They find leads that take them everywhere; but somehow, Kenda and his men keep finding themselves at "Saint Barts." This is the second of four adventure stories written around Masaharu Kenda; a young man for
