AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A big figure in the War Office has been so misguided as to enlist the aid of that genial but dumb duo, Clipper and Brown, to assist him in clearing up the mystery of a missing document, a document so tremendously important that on it may depend the peace (or the pieces) of Europe! The hollow-headed sleuths meet the charming female spy with the pronounced foreign accent and go from one breathless adventure to another in an effort to achieve greatness, only to find greatness thrust upon them—from a very unexpected quarter.'
